JUST LIKE BAY windows, south-facing gardens and light-filled living areas, red brick exteriors never lose their charm.
This week we’re looking at four red brick fronted homes around the country – from a large and luxurious five-bed in Dublin 18 to a terraced six-bed in Wexford.
1 Pavilion Gate in Foxrock is a spacious five-bed that spans 276 m². One of ten luxury detached homes, all of the bedrooms are doubles and there are five reception rooms – a sitting room, living room, dining room, conservatory and a breakfast room – as well as a kitchen and utility room. The spaces provide versatility for various uses, including working from home. The attic space is a valuable addition with potential for conversion.
With easy access to the LUAS stop, Carrickmines Retail Park, VHI 360 Health Centre, sports clubs and and Foxrock Village, the location is suited to anyone who wants to be near the city but lots of space. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby Leopardstown Golf Course and Foxrock Golf Club. The house comes with off-street gated parking and convenient access to the M50 and N11.
No. 4 Glena Terrace is an exquisite Victorian home that blends classic features and modern elegance seamlessly. The property features high ceilings, ornate coving, antique fireplaces and original tiling, creating a warm and homely atmosphere. The spacious accommodation spans four floors and includes six bedrooms, a stunning family room, a formal dining room and an open-plan kitchen with dining area and lounge that is flooded with natural light.
The upstairs bedrooms offer beautiful water views of the River Slaney. The property also has an enclosed garden with a decking area and a utility shed. Location-wise, it is just a short stroll from Wexford town centre town and the quays, making for a unique family home in a desirable area. Dating to the 18th century, the property has a BER exemption.
Built in the early 1900s, Lissenfield is a charming five-bed period property that has been sensitively restored, retaining many original features, including marble fireplaces, sash windows, and Victorian tiling. The extensive garden has been beautifully landscaped, featuring an electric gate, lush plantings, a fig tree and inviting seating areas.

A family room, art room, and laundry room complete the ground floor.
The first floor houses five double bedrooms with original fireplaces and a fully fitted dressing room. The village provides access to schools, parks and amenities, and it’s near Kildalton College, the leading provider of training in Agriculture, Horticulture and Equine studies in Ireland. Waterford City is just 15 km away.
No. 3 Lawson Spinney is an impressive detached red brick family home, originally configured as a four-bed but currently used as a three-bed. The house consists of elegant and light-filled rooms and a landscaped west-facing back garden. The property is one of only eight homes in a peaceful area near Malahide village, and therefore, the coast. The home spans about 151m².
The location is highly convenient, just off the Dublin Road, with easy access to Malahide village’s shops, cafes, restaurants, and schools. Malahide Castle’s entrance, offering access to its 260 acres of parkland, is just across from the house.
