ELECTRIC GATES CAN add peace of mind when it comes to our family’s safety, whether we live in a city or countryside location.
If an electric gate is a feature on your must-have list, then this week we’ve found four great homes across the country that have them installed already.
That’s one less thing for the to-do list.
2 Newtown Woods or Beechbrooke House, is a large four-bed home near the town of Tramore. Almost twenty years old, it stands on one acre and is surrounded by landscaped grounds, behind electric gates. Filled with light and with a great flow, the rooms inside comprise an open plan kitchen, lounge and dining room which was redone in 2020. The ground floor is also home to a lounge and a study and a separate dining room.
Two of the bedrooms upstairs have their own bathrooms and the attic is floored and can be accessed via a folding staircase. There is also a garage on the site for plenty more storage space and renovation potential as well as some other outhouses that are wired for electricity and have running water.
Ard Scotia is a large five-bed family home with a floor area of 265 m². With views over Tralee Bay, it’s a five minute drive from the town yet sits in a beautiful countryside location. Accessed via electric gates, the house is surrounded by mature gardens and incorporates plenty of places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. There is also a boiler house and garage on site.
Inside comprises an entrance hall that links to the living area that’s home to a stone fireplace and accesses an outdoor terrace as does the the dining space. A kitchen, a large utility room and a guest toilet completes this level. Of the five bedrooms, the main bedroom has its own bathroom and access to its own terrace.
This beautiful period property Piltown dates to the early 1900s. The house has been restored over the years but it hasn’t lost its original charm. The garden is walled and private, protected by electric gates. There is plenty of off street parking, too. The village is 15 kilometres from Waterford city and 12 kilometres from the M9 and N25.
The spaces inside include the a pretty tiled hall that links to the dining room, a home office and a drawing room, that are all home to original fireplaces. The kitchen sits at the back of the house and leads to a breakfast room, a lounge and a space that was originally a shop. There are five double bedrooms upstairs and they all have original cast iron fireplaces.
This large five-bed home has a floor area of 325 m² and is just over a kilometre outside Corrandulla village, which has an array of amenities including a school, creche, shops and sporting facilities. It stands on three quarters of an acre and is set well back from the road behind electric gates.
The rooms inside comprise a hall that links to the bright kitchen and dining room with its double aspect. There is a utility room off this space that steps outside. One of the bedrooms, a double, lives downstairs and is close to the family bathroom. Four more double bedrooms sit upstairs along with another family bathroom. The attic has been converted into two extra rooms.
