4 of a kind: Terraced houses with plenty of space for family living
From a former showhome in Cork to a redbrick beauty in Dublin 6.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING for more space inside without the hassle of looking after a larger site, a mid-terrace or end-of-terrace house can offer the best of both worlds.
Often far more spacious than they appear from the exterior, terraced houses are a popular choice among city-lovers who don’t want to compromise on square footage. Fancy owning one for yourself? Here’s what’s on offer around the country right now…
Ballincollig, Co Cork – €412,000
This four-bedroom, three-storey property just outside Ballincollig town is a former showhome, immaculately presented both inside and out. The interior-designed home features plenty of eye-catching details, like a solid cherry wood kitchen, a Juliet balcony in the living room and a feature bay window on the first floor.
Accommodation is laid out over all three floors and includes a family room, kitchen/dining area and pantry on the ground floor. Upstairs is a living room, bedroom and en-suite bathroom on the first floor, and finally there are three more generous bedrooms, a main bathroom and one more en-suite bathroom on the second floor.
Terenure, Dublin 6w – €895,000
Number 5 Cranford is a luxury residence in every aspect – from its prime location in an exclusive Terenure estate, to its beautiful red brick and granite exterior, to its 2,100 sq ft of accommodation inside. Completed in 2006, the modern property features bay windows on two levels, a paved front driveway, thermostatically controlled heating, a hand-painted Christoff fitted kitchen and underfloor heating.
On the ground floor are an entrance hall, front lounge, family room, kitchen, downstairs WC and utility room. The first floor features a master bedroom, en-suite bathroom, two more bedrooms and a family bathroom. A final bedroom is located on the second floor level with its own walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom.
Tralee, Co Kerry – €150,000
This three-bedroom property comes in at an extremely attractive starting price, with plenty of value for money inside. Located within walking distance of Tralee town and near many schools and major amenities – including a creche within the development – this would be a perfect home for a young family or someone looking to invest.
The house briefly comprises an entrance hall, dining/living room, a fully fitted kitchen and a utility room downstairs, with three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a master en-suite bathroom upstairs. To the rear is a private garden with a patio area.
Blackrock, Co Dublin – €785,000
Located a short stroll from the heart of leafy Blackrock village, this end-of-terrace period home is a rare find. With four bedrooms, a south-westerly facing garden to the rear and private off-street parking, it’d be the perfect property for a family looking to upgrade to a larger space.
Downstairs, the property extends back from an entrance porch into a living room, a sitting room and a kitchen/dining area with rear garden access. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and one single, with a ‘Jack and Jill’ style bathroom featuring a separate WC room. The property is around a 35-minute drive from Dublin.
