4 of a kind: Semi-detached three-beds perfect for growing families
From a new build by the seaside to a Dublin 6 home with period charm.
The classic three-bed semi gets a bad rap sometimes, with purists dismissing it as a tired design option.
But when it comes to clever use of space, comfort for a growing family and – most importantly – affordability, you can’t go far wrong with a semi-detached property.
It’s a design genre that has come on in leaps and bounds in recent years, with plenty of light-filled, open plan three-bed semis now on the market, both new builds and renovated older homes.
