4 of a kind: Houses with convenient home office spaces

No need to drag your laptop to the kitchen table in these spacious properties.

IF YOU CAN’T bear the thought of another autumn and winter spent commuting in the rain and wind, a working-from-home situation could be the answer.

Whether you base yourself in your home office five days a week or just use it as a quiet, family-free space to get through important tasks, a home with a dedicated work space can offer an extra element of convenience and calm. Plus it means you’ll never have to litter your kitchen table with laptops and mixed-up files again.

We’ve taken the liberty of seeking out four homes around the country with their own office space or study included. Interested? Take a look…

Templemore, Co Tipperary – €385,000

Sitting proudly on a landscaped site of 1.1 acres, this four-bedroom property is generously proportioned inside, too. It extends to over 2,930 sq foot and includes both a music room/office and a large gym room, the latter of which could easily be converted into a bedroom.

Additionally, the ground floor of the house has a sitting room, a kitchen/dining area, a utility room, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom.

Killinick, Co Wexford – €369,000

Located just two minutes outside Killinick village, The Old Post Office is truly a must-see home, thanks to its many unusual design features. Sitting on a private gated site, the property includes a decking area, outbuildings, and a 600 sq ft garden room that would work perfectly as a gym or home office. Inside, the property itself features oak flooring sourced from an Amish barn.

Downstairs, the Old Post Office comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/dining room, a living room, a study/office and a utility room. Upstairs are a bathroom and three bedrooms, including the master suite with its own balcony and en-suite WC.

Butlerstown, Co Waterford – €645,000

Set on two magnificent acres of landscaped gardens, this six-bedroom home enjoys complete privacy and plenty of space for outdoor and indoor entertaining. With six bedrooms, five bathrooms and three reception rooms, the home would work as either a live-in guest house or a family home.

Features of particular note include a soundproofed office, a reading room with a solid oak bookcase, a games room with purpose-built snooker table, a 4ft-wide pine staircase, a Waterford Crystal chandelier and a sunny south-facing patio area outside.

Galway City, Co Galway – €1,450,000

This listed building in Galway city is a rare find, especially given its superb refurbishment inside. The six-bedroom terraced property could be used as a family home, medical or legal consulting rooms or a mixture of both.

The property is split over three storeys and also features and a large rear garden with parking for up to six cars. The property’s basement features a study and music room that, if converted back to bedrooms, would make the whole lower level a perfect self-contained apartment.
