FINDING A HOME that matches your budget without compromising your list of must-haves can be tricky, but we’re here to make that task easier.
Each week we round up a selection of homes currently on the market in Ireland around the same price point, giving you a snapshot of what a particular amount could get you.
This week, we’re looking at properties around the country with an asking price of exactly €400,000 – from a converted convent to a Wexford bungalow.
With a €400k budget in mind, this could be one of the best value properties out there. The Old Convent and Schoolhouse, in Eyrecourt, Co Galway, originally formed part of the Eyrecourt estate and was built in 1700. The property now counts six bedrooms and six bathrooms, split equally between the two detached buildings, which were both restored by a previous owner.
Set on almost an acre and a half, grounds also include a four-port air-conditioned garage, as well as a tennis court and children’s play area. The location is desirable as well, within walking distance to Eyrecourt town, and just an hour’s drive from Galway city.
Meanwhile, in Dublin, this budget will net you a two-bedroom, one-bathroom terraced house in Deansgrange, Co Dublin. It might not be as expansive as the previous property, but it’s bright and move-in ready, having been refurbished in the past.
The living space downstairs benefits from a bay window that lets light into the space, and the kitchen has been recently redecorated. Upstairs, you’ll find single and double bedrooms; the double bedroom also has a fireplace. The back garden consists of a low-maintenance stone patio and raised flower beds.
In the Limerick city suburbs, there’s a four-bedroom, five-bathroom semi-detached house waiting for you. The home is one of only four in a small development that overlooks Castletroy golf course. You’ll enjoy peaceful views of the greens, while remaining in walking distance to a range of schools and shops in the popular suburb of Castletroy.
In addition to offering living spaces the ground and upper floors, the entire home is smart-home enabled to control lighting and electrical systems. The main living space is on the first floor, overlooking the golf course, and the kitchen/dining room is positioned at the front of the home.
Finally, in Charleville, Co Cork, there’s a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home waiting for you. Derrynane sits on over three acres, and has lovely mature and manicured gardens as well as a detached garage, paddocks and purpose-built workshop.
The main home is set up bungalow-style, and there is a large sunroom to the front that’s perfect for taking advantage in the bright days. It also has a large kitchen with extensive worktop space, and an enclosed patio designed for outdoor dining. The snug off the kitchen has an open fireplace, offering homeowners a spot to relax during the winter months.
