4 of a kind: Five-bed detached homes with plenty of space

From a new build in Dublin 15 to a family home by the sea in Cork.

WITH COMPLETE PRIVACY and no noisy neighbours to worry about, it’s no wonder why detached homes are some of the most sought-after property types for large families.

This week, we’ve rounded up four of the very best five-bed detached homes on the market right now – all generous in size and perfect in layout for any growing family.

Rochestown, Co Cork

It may not look it from the outside but this home does indeed have five bedrooms and they’re all nice in size too. Set on a secluded 0.25 acre plot of land, Snugboro is just a few minutes’ drive from Douglas.

Inside you’ll find a living room, a family room, kitchen/dining room and even a utility room. Two bedrooms sit downstairs and a further three, one with an en suite bathroom, resides upstairs. And that’s before you even spot the tree house sitting in the back garden.

This property is on the market for €645,000.
