4 of a kind: Family homes just a stone's throw from the beach

From a modern home in Dublin to a cottage in Cork.

FROM THE FRESH air to the coastal walks to the beautiful views, there are many benefits of living close to the beach.

This week we’re looking at four homes around the country that are within walking distance of a beach – from a modern home in Co Dublin to a cottage in Cork. 

Donabate, Co Dublin – €975,000

Located just a stone’s throw from Donabate Beach, An Grianan is an ideal family home for those who want to be close to the city while also enjoying the peace that comes with living by the sea. The newly constructed property is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, with the beach just a 100m stroll away.

The five-bed home boasts idyllic views of the coastline from each of the bedrooms, while the living areas are filled with natural light thanks to large picture windows. The residence is highly energy efficient, with an A1 Building Energy Rating (BER).
