WHAT IS IT about the sea that attracts so many house hunters? Perhaps it’s the guaranteed great views, the chance of a daily dip or that fresh sea air.
Whatever the reason, many of us dream of a life by the coast, so this week we’ve found four attractive homes across the country that offer easy access to the water, whether you’re looking to live on the east or south Ireland.
22 Rooskagh Valley is a four-bed home that spans 121 m². This terraced dormer is ready to walk into and in good nick inside with a layout ideal for modern living. It also comes furnished, which will let the next owners take their time when it comes to updating their new spaces. An open plan design ensures a great flow from the living room, through to the dining area, and into the well-equipped kitchen.
There is ample parking at the front and a communal garden to the back, so no doubt the next owners will get to know the neighbours. The house is walking distance from the village of Shanagarry, which is home to plenty of shops, schools, and stunning local beaches. Plus, sports enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity of a tennis court.
6 Glenheron Walk is a three-bed family home that’s in the Charlesland area of Greystones. This A-rated home has a floor area of 117 sqm and was built in 2017. Inside, the ground floor flows from the bright entrance hall to the spacious living room, a kitchen with dining space and then a utility room. A guest toilet completes this level. Upstairs, the main bedroom has an en suite bathroom while the remaining two bedrooms share the family bathroom. The wardrobes are built-in, as are the blinds so that’s fewer decisions for the next owner to make.
Double doors lead to the easterly facing back garden that offers glimpses of the Wicklow coastline.There’s parking for up to two cars to the front. Greystones town is close by and home to a selection of restaurants, pubs and swimming spots. The DART and Dublin Bus routes will also bring you straight to Dublin city centre.
4 The Hermitage is a large four-bed home that spans 153 m². It’s ideally located to take advantage of the panoramic views of Dunmore East, Hook Head, and the countryside. Set on a corner plot within a private development of only 13 houses, this architecturally-designed home is close to the harbour and village so the beach is just a short stroll away.
The spaces inside include four bedrooms that are generous in size with the main bedroom enjoying its own bathroom. Downstairs, the kitchen and dining space is open plan. The BER is C3 probably thanks to the windows being double glazed. Mature gardens surround the house and the back garden and patio get great sunshine. The land is also home to a log cabin, which would make an ideal for a home office or gym.
Sea Gardens is a new development in the coastal town of Bray that’s made up of 126 contemporary homes. Two property types are on offer and two units are currently on the market. They offer panoramic views of the Irish Sea and are just a short stroll from the busy town that’s well-connected to Dublin city centre thanks to the DART and Dublin Bus routes.
The two units on offer are terraced and there’s a three-bed and a four-bed to choose from. Both have a BER of A3 ensuring bills will be low and energy efficiency will be high. The kitchens are open plan to incorporate a dining and sitting area while a separate sitting room to the front offers even more space. Upstairs, the main bedrooms have en suite bathrooms while the others share the family bathroom.
