TERRACED HOMES OFTEN get a reputation for being on the small side, but that isn’t always true.
They’re often a smart use of space and can be cosy and warm seeing as they obtain heat from houses on both sides.
This week, we’ve found four terrace houses in Limerick, Dublin, Kerry and Waterford, that are all in great nick and ready to walk into.
1 Oakville Terrace has a floor area of 140 m² and sits at the end of a terrace on New Street in Limerick City. Dating to the early 1900s, this three-bed redbrick home is fully renovated to blend historic charm with modern comforts. With a B3 energy rating, it qualifies for a favourable green mortgage rate. Original features like ornate fireplaces, window shutters and hardwood floors evoke a nostalgic ambiance. Recent upgrades include rewiring, replumbing, internal insulation and new double-glazed Aluclad windows, enhancing energy efficiency. An extension to the back offers an open plan kitchen and lounge area bathed in natural light.
The home features a redbrick façade, walled yard and wrought iron gate. Inside, the entrance hallway leads to a living room with an ornate fireplace and a modern kitchen overlooking the back garden. A utility room and lounge area with sliding glass doors to the patio complete the ground floor. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The south-facing garden, bordered by an old stone wall, enjoys all-day sunlight.
4 Sitric Place in Stoneybatter is a cosy 58 m² bungalow with two bedrooms. refurbished in 2018, it offers elegance and comfort with abundant natural light throughout. The meticulously designed interior maximises space and features tasteful décor, making it appealing to a wide range of buyers. The home includes an entrance hall with built-in storage, an open plan living/dining/kitchen area with large tri-fold doors to a private south-facing garden, a utility room, a shower room and bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. The maintenance-free garden is perfect for al fresco dining and relaxation.
Located in a quiet, mature setting, Sitric Place is just a short walk from Stoneybatter village and Smithfield, known for their shops, cafes and restaurants. Phoenix Park is a ten minute walk away, and the area offers excellent transport links with Heuston Station, numerous bus routes and LUAS stops nearby. The new Technological University Dublin (TUD) campus at Grangegorman adds to the area’s appeal.
With an overall floor area of 228 m², Coral Cottages in the seaside village of Ballybunion, comprises two separately accessed cottages and a hair salon. A family home, investment or summer retreat, the property features five to six bedrooms, three bathrooms and modernised interiors that retain their character.

The back garden features a terrace, lawn, and BBQ area.
Cottage B offers a well-decorated hallway, a living room with dining area that has garden access, a modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. The private courtyard is ideal for outdoor entertaining. The hair salon has five stations, a sink and a client bathroom, providing endless potential for repurposing.
