4 of a kind: Eco-conscious homes with energy-saving solar panels

From a four-bed in Co Waterford to a six-bed in Co Tipperary.

THANKS TO THEIR energy-saving and bill-reducing powers, solar panels continue to be a popular feature among house-hunters.

This week, we’re looking at homes around the country that come fitted with solar panels – from a four-bed in Co Waterford to a six-bed in Co Tipperary.

Tramore, Co Waterford – €385,000

Sitting on a one acre site, this four-bed property comes to the market in turn-key condition. It features a bright and spacious interior with large living spaces, timber flooring and countryside views throughout. The country-style kitchen is fully fitted and comes complete with attractive tiled flooring.  

There are four bedrooms, with a walk-in wardrobe from the master bedroom. Solar panels provide an energy-efficient mode of heating water. Outside, there’s a large detached garage with a dormer floor, while a large patio makes for the perfect place to dine al fresco. Tramore town and its beautiful coastal walks are a 10-minute drive away.
