What can I get in Ireland for... around €200,000?

From a large attic conversion in Laois to estuary views in Cork.

FINDING THE PERFECT budget-friendly home can be tricky business in Ireland these days. That’s why, each week, we curate price comparison lists to make home hunting less of a pain.

This week, we’re looking at houses around the country that are on the market for very attractive price tags – less than €200,000 to be exact.

Monasterevin, Co Kildare – €195,000

If off street parking and your own back garden are high on your list, then look no further than this three-bed semi-detached home in Kildare. Recently renovated, it’s a complete blank canvas for you to get creative with. This home is made up of an entrance hall and downstairs WC, a fully fitted kitchen/dining area, a utility room and a spacious living room. Three bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom, make up the upper floor.

Just outside the town of Monasterevin, the M7 motorway is easily accessed making it the perfect place for those commuting to Dublin or further afield.

Midleton, Co Cork – €195,000

A penthouse apartment overlooking an estuary and within walking distance of the town of Midleton, 26 Charleston Maltings contains a spacious open plan living area with a kitchen/dining room. The space is flooded with light thanks to the apartment’s high vaulted ceilings.

This home’s three double bedrooms, the master with an en suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes, are all generous in size and neutral in colour scheme, making them a joy to update.

Complete with its own parking space and just a short commute to Cork city, Fota Wildlife Park and Cobh, it enjoys easy access to every amenity you may need.

Mountmellick, Co Laois – €190,000

When an attic conversion is done right, it’s a godsend for extra space, as well as adding a little more value to a home. On that note, this originally three, now four-bed home in Co Laois has the luxury of a converted loft space that’s home to a master bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room.

With a B3 rating that also benefits from solar panels, 34 Grange Hall has a detached garage and a utility room. A short stroll will take you to the town centre of Mountmellick, home to a host of amenities and links to the N80, then on to the M7.

Portlaoise, Co Laois – €200,000

As part of a new development at Bellingham, just a five minute drive to the busy town of Portlaoise, this three-bed home enjoys three bathrooms and many built-in essentials resulting in a much shorter to-do list. Kitchen and laundry appliances, as well as an alarm system and built-in wardrobes, all greet you on moving day.

With the perfect balance of the Laois countryside as well as the town on your doorstep, commuting is hassle-free with a fantastic train service that serves the whole country. You can be in Dublin Heuston in less than an hour or shopping in Kildare Village in less than 20 minutes.
