WHETHER THE LOCATION is perfect but there’s no back garden, or the size is ideal but out of your price range, compromising on your list of ‘must-haves’ is something you’ll soon become accustomed to while hunting for a suitable house.
If a house within a certain price range is currently top of that list, panic not, because we’ve done some of the hard work for you. Each week we round up four homes in a certain price bracket. This week: €500,000.
From a four-bed close to Marlay Park to a new development in Naas, here are some hot properties that are around that mark.
Part of a development called The School Yard, No 1 is one of 12 A-rated homes. Spread over 2,000 sq ft, the detached house has its own solar heating for water, a high level of insulation and a triple glazed porch. Inside, each room is well appointed and would need little work. Custom features include a walk-in larder, extensive sliderobes, and a high quality kitchen.
Kilkenny city and all of its amenities is just a short walk away, while Dublin can be reached within an hour and a half. Close to the New Road roundabout on the Castlecomer Road, Newpark shopping centre, Newpark Hotel, and Kilkenny College, are all just minutes away, too.
31 Beverly Drive is a four-bed, three bathroom family home that spans 1,507 sq ft. Bright and spacious, the house comprises of two lounges, a large kitchen with lots of storage, and a separate utility room to the side. From the kitchen, a light-filled sitting room leads to the private garden. Upstairs, the master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, while the remaining three share a family bathroom.
Located near Knocklyon, a SuperValu sits nearby and St Colmcille’s national and secondary schools are just walks away. For trips to the city centre, the 15 bus route and the M50 are both easily accessed, too.
Scholarstown Wood is a brand new development of three, four and five bedroom homes in Rathfarnham on Dublin’s south side. The Sycamore is a collection of three-bed end of terrace homes that have just been released. Each one of these homes is A-rated for efficiency. Designed by award-winning architects O’Mahony Pike, large floor-to-ceiling windows let natural light flood into these homes. Double glazed windows, gas fired central heating with Climote technology and an attractive electric fire keep things cosy and support the high energy rating.
With their Rathfarnham location, homes at Scholarstown Wood take advantage of nearby Marlay Park, as well as Airfield Estate in Dundrum. For shopping, Rathfarnham village, Knocklyon Shopping Centre and Dundrum Town Centre are all close by. Useful transport links including the M50 provide easy access to all the main routes, as well as the city centre and Dublin Airport.
As part of a new development in Finlay Park in Naas, The Lock is a roomy four-bed detached build with bright, well appointed rooms spread over two floors. The open plan kitchen and dining spaces are wonderfully zoned and bright thanks to double doors that lead out to the generously-sized and secluded back garden. Off-street parking for two cars ensure The Lock is self-contained and perfect for young families.
A short walk from Naas town, new homeowners at Finlay Park have the Grand Canal close by for peaceful strolls, and acres of surrounding green fields to take advantage of. For commuters, Dublin can be reached within the hour, ensuring that Finlay Park strikes a handy balance between country and city life.
