4 of a kind: Modern five-beds with plenty of space for families

From a luxurious home in Wicklow to a house on six acres in Cork.

As families grow, needs do too, and space is often top of the list for house-hunters looking to upgrade.

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.

Delgany, Co Wicklow 

Built in 2008, Robin Hill is an impressive two storey, five-bed home that spreads over 4,300 sq ft. A separate and a well maintained surrounding garden adds privacy to this ideal family home. Inside, there are three social rooms that interconnect, high vaulted spaces and solid oak and Crema Marfil Travertine flooring. Three luxuriously apportioned bath/shower rooms and a custom fitted kitchen complete the picture.

The home is a stroll into the Delgany village and directly opposite the Delgany Golf Club.  Greystones is just a short drive away, meaning seaside walks and connections to Dublin city centre are all within easy reach, too.

It’s on sale for €1,350,000.

Georgian in style, the floor space is an impressive 3,021 sq ft, comprising of well-proportioned rooms that have been renovated and extended to bring function and light to every single spaces. The large extension also has its own entrance from the front of the house, which could easily suit an apartment conversion.
