4 of a Kind: Homes across the country with beautiful bay windows

From a seaside home in west Cork to a modern family home on the grounds of a hotel.

BAY WINDOWS ARE a big plus for any house hunter who values a naturally-lit and bright space. Not only do they pull in the daylight from many different angles, they also provide better outdoor views, which is an advantage in a countryside setting. This week, we’ve found four homes across Ireland, available to view on Daft, that have beautiful bay windows – from a seaside home in west Cork to a modern family home on the grounds of a hotel in Waterford.

Faithlegg, Co Waterford – €739,000

No 9 The Fairways is a modern home that was built in 2001 and sits on the grounds of Faithlegg House Hotel. Spread across 260 m², the spaces comprises two living rooms, an open plan kitchen with dining space, a study and a utility room. Five bedrooms make up the first floor and three of these have en suite bathrooms.

Golf enthusiasts are sure to delight in the 18-hole championship golf course that’s just a short walk from this home’s front door. The facilities of the hotel are all ready and waitinf to be used too, whether your want to eat in the restaurant or get active in the gym. Waterford city is an easy commute as it’s just ten kilometres away.

Skibbereen, Co Cork – €750,000

Sitting on one acre, this three-bed home overlooks Tragumna Bay near the west Cork town of Skibbereen. The house was built in the ’90s and has a C1 BER, which is definitely a plus along the Wild Atlantic Way. With a floor area of 238 m² divided over three different levels, the rooms are large and bright. The kitchen and dining area has a vaulted ceiling and stretches down to a lounge that grabs light from the side and out to the sea. There’s also a more formal dining and living room, a conservatory, a utility room and home office.

The abundance of space downstairs all makes a lot of sense seeing as there are just three bedrooms. The main bedroom sits upstairs and has an en suite bathroom. This is a split level house, and the remaining bedrooms are at the lower level – each one has is own bathroom too. The busy town of Skibbereen is just 7 km from this home. Those looking for a chance to slow down and enjoy the quiet life, a seaside home like this is what many people dream of.
