HOME RENOVATIONS ARE never straightforward, no matter if they’re big or small. Adding an extension, although entirely worth it by the end, can cause many homeowners headache and disrupt their day-to-day for weeks on end. If you don’t have the time or the patience, buying a home with a fabulous extension already done and dusted could be the way to go.
This week, we’ve found four gorgeous homes – three in Dublin and one in Kilkenny – that have that added space for your family to enjoy right away.
