ADDING AN EXTENSION to a property allows the owner to introduce elements that the home was originally lacking, like natural light and an open-plan design.
This week, we’re looking at homes around the country with spacious extensions – from a three-bed in Lucan to a four-bed in Co Meath.
A semi-detached family home, 24 Ballinteer Gardens has been extended to include an open-plan family area to the rear, while still benefiting from a separate study, dining room and living room in the original part of the house. Measuring 1,725 sq ft, the property is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and boasts a large corner garden with a south-west facing aspect.
There are brick work features throughout the open-plan area, while the kitchen is fitted with glossy units, granite work tops, a feature island and a mini breakfast bar. An open archway leads to the dining area, where double doors open to the garden. In a highly convenient location, the property is just a 15-minute walk from Dundrum Town Centre.
A three-bed property, 13 Castlegate Chase is a light-filled family home of 1,300 sq ft. It comes to the market in excellent condition with laminate flooring, sliderobes in the master bedroom and a modern family bathroom. A recent addition to the property is a new gas boiler with heating that can be controlled from your phone.
There’s a light-filled living room to the front, while there’s an extended lounge with French doors and Velux windows to the rear. The garden comprises a lawn and patio area, and a timber shed. Positioned in a family-friendly location, No 13 is within walking distance of two primary schools, a creche and Griffeen Valley Park.
Located in a cul-de-sac of only 12 houses, 7 Cherry Court is a well-appointed four-bed family home. On the ground floor, a large family room with a limestone fireplace is to the right of the hallway. Double doors open to the kitchen, which features granite work tops, a centre island with a breakfast bar and Neff appliances.
Beyond the kitchen is a separate dining area with a Velux window and French doors to the patio. Moving upstairs, all flooring in the bedrooms and the landing has been upgraded. There are built-in wardrobes in three of the bedrooms. To the rear, the garden is finished in cobblelock and isn’t overlooked. Ashbourne town is a 15-minute walk away.
Spanning 1,108 sq ft, 9 Broomhall Crescent is a three-bed semi-detached property with an attractive back garden. Stepping inside, there’s a bright living room with a bay window and open fireplace to the left of the hallway. To the rear, there’s a large extension with an open-plan kitchen and dining area, where double doors open to the garden.
The garden features a large raised patio area and deck, a selection of plants and shrubs and a timber shed. On the first floor, each of the bedrooms comes complete with timber floors, with fitted wardrobes and built-in drawers in the master bedroom. Wicklow town is a five-minute drive away, while the nearby M11 means you can be in Dublin city within the hour.
