4 of a kind: Terraced homes perfect for families
From a period beauty in Dublin to a three-bed in Waterford.
MANY OF THE problems linked to terraced homes in the past – like lack of space or light – have been all but removed these days by tasteful renovations, intelligent home planning and modern design updates.
A terraced home is one of several identical homes that share internal walls with each other.
Ireland is full of period terraces, and in recent years, plenty of new varieties have popped up too, many with garden space or room to extend.
Blackrock, Co Dublin
Dating back to the 1840s, 99 Mount Merrion Avenue combines period charm with modern living. Stained glass windows can be spotted throughout the property, and there’s a conservatory that adds space and light to the ground floor.
The property has two double bedrooms, and ample space to the rear to extend the home if the new owners desire. There’s also off-street parking and a pretty rear garden.
It’s on the market for €1,100,000.
Stradbally, Co Waterford
This recently renovated cottage is located in the heart of Stradbally village, just a 10-minute drive from Bunmahon beach. A country-style kitchen boasts an AGA and fitted units, and the lounge has solid oak flooring throughout.
There are three bedrooms upstairs in the property, and the master bedroom has stunning views over the garden, which is home to a fish pond, patio area and orchard.
Cilldara Cottage is on sale for €235,000.
Sallynoggin, Co Dublin
Number 3 Rollins Villas is a mid-terrace home with two double bedrooms, suiting a couple or smaller family. Located close to Glenageary village and Dún Laoghaire, the property boasts south-westerly facing gardens and a home office, too.
The property has recently been upgraded with new double glazed windows, insulation and a stove, and there’s gas fired central heating throughout, too.
Monkstown, Co Dublin
Lanesville Grove is a new development of terraced homes located just outside the pretty seaside village of Monkstown. The homes have three bedrooms apiece, and have an A-rating for energy.
The open plan kitchen/living area is bright and well-proportioned, and there is a utility room off it for extra storage space. Upstairs, bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and the master bedroom has access to an en-suite shower room.
Homes here are on offer from €520,000.
