IF PLENTY OF space is a non-negotiable for you, no doubt you have your Daft search filter set to ‘detached’.
This week, we’re looking at four large family homes across the country that offer privacy and plenty of room to swing many cats. Whether you’re hunting in Galway, Mayo or Tipp, here are some top picks.
This really spacious five-bedder has an impressive floor area of 325 m² and offers a great mix of town and country living as it sits over a kilometre from Corrandulla village. The village is home to a national school, creche, some shops and a few sporting facilities, so has more than enough for everyday family life. The house is 11 kilometres from Claregalway and 13km from Headford.
The house has a BER of B3 and stands on over three quarters of an acre with plenty of parking behind an electronic gate system. The rooms inside comprise two living rooms that lead to the bright sunroom. The main hall also links to the large kitchen and dining space with its double aspect, plenty of storage and built-in appliances. There is a utility room off this space also. One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor along with a family bathroom. Four more double bedrooms sit upstairs along with another family bathroom. The attic has also been converted.
This five-bed home spans 250 m² and is just four kilometres from Castlebar town. Handy for young families, there is a national school just two kilometres away. The house was built in 2003 and stands on a mature one acre site that’s elevated and so offers great countryside views.
The spaces inside are spread over two floors and comprise an entrance porch, hallway, living room, sitting room, and then a kitchen and dining room with a utility off it. A guest toilet, bathroom and two of the bedrooms complete the ground floor. The first floor is homes to three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
7 Roemore Village is an impressive six-bed that’s 263 m² in size. Built in 2005, it has a B3 BER and all the makings of a modern family home. Both floors benefit from underfloor heating, while each room has its own thermostat control. The rooms inside comprise an entrance hall, living room, guest toilet, dining area, kitchen, utility, sitting room and conservatory. One of the bedrooms lives on the ground floor and has its own bathroom.
Upstairs, there are four more bedrooms off the large landing and three of these have their own bathrooms. The main bedroom has two large walk-in wardrobes. The house sits on 3/4 of an acre and there is ample off-street parking. There is a timber deck and patio to the back of the house area along with a detached garage and a concrete base for an extra shed, if needed.
Mike Sheedy, of the famous hurling family, has placed his home on the market. A five-bed house that’s 290 m² in size, this family home is just a kilometre from Portroe village and 36 from Limerick city making it a manageable commute for those who’s school or work is further than the village.
Inside, three of the bedrooms have their own bathrooms. The house has some interesting touches throughout, from solid block walls and concrete floors to wrought iron handrails. A series of spacious rooms, no doubt the central vacuum system will come in handy. Some floors are covered in oak and the worktops in the kitchen are hardy granite proving that this is a well-finished home that’s ready to move into right away. The house is back from the road and sits behind electric gates, so there is plenty of parking and a great garden surrounding.
