WONDERING WHAT SIZE or style of property your current house-hunting budget might get you? Each Friday, we profile a selection of properties all around a similar price point, to give you an idea of what you can get for your dough.
This week, we’re taking a look at homes on the market for €500,000 or under. Here’s what you could buy around the country for that price point right now, be it a semi-detached home in Dublin or a country pad in Cork.
This extended three-bedroom family home covers 1,353 sq ft in total including an attic conversion, making it a superbly spacious property for a growing family. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac close to all of Lucan’s many local amenities, the home strikes just the right balance between tranquility and convenience.
Inside, the light-filled home features an entrance hall, living room, dining area, utility room and guest WC downstairs. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a family bathroom, a master bedroom en-suite and an additional bedroom in the attic.
This beautiful double-fronted detached home was originally built as a cottage in the late 1800s, before being converted to a large barn, then a butter manufacturer and finally a family home. Inside, the house has been lovingly restored, with a timber-framed shell interior inside the outer stone walls.
The house is roofed with natural Spanish slate and features intricate vaulted ceilings among other period features. Despite its age and history, the four-bedroom property is energy efficient, and the addition of solar panels by the new owners would give it an A-rating on its BER report.
Located beside the Manor House Hotel on Mount Juliet estate, this detached two-bedroom house was a former driver’s lodge. It has been extensively refurbished over the years and is now a comfortable family or guest property.
The Chauffeur’s Lodge comprises an entrance hall, living room, fitted kitchen and dining room, utility room, cloakroom and WC. Upstairs, the two comfortable double bedrooms each have their own en-suite. Mount Juliet estate is just five minutes’ drivetime from Thomastown and 23 minutes from Kilkenny City.
It’s on the market for €500,000.
Situated in its own private forest, this detached six-bedroom property is unique inside and out. The gardens and forest extend to over 3.5 acres, while the property itself covers 5,350 sq ft.
Inside, there’s a sitting room, living room, home office, high spec kitchen/dining room and three spacious double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms. Upstairs are three more double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
