4 of a kind: Family-friendly homes in quiet cul-de-sacs

Want a safe area for young kids to play? Here are four options that fit the bill, from Cork to Wicklow.

THE HUMBLE CUL-DE-SAC is an underrated feature. If you have young kids at home, living on one of these curved, closed-off roads means you’ll have much more peace of mind when they’re running around outside – and it gives your home some extra privacy and tranquility too.

This week we’re looking at four family homes in quiet cul-de-sacs around the country – from a new build in Glasnevin to a home with sea views in Wicklow.

Glasnevin, Dublin 9

A new development of just six homes off Botanic Road in Glasnevin, Fairfield Court features two-bed bungalows and four-bed terraced homes. There are three of each type of property available, with prices starting at €595,000 for the former and €750,000 for the latter. 

Each home is A-rated for energy efficiency and boasts a design that’s both timeless and modern. The four-bed homes are arranged over three levels, while the bungalows include a large attic space. All homes include a south-facing garden.

Wicklow town, Co Wicklow – €315,000

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, 13 Bayview Grange is a three-bed semi-detached property with a turn-key interior. Thanks to its positioning on an elevated site, views of Wicklow harbour can be enjoyed from the south-east facing rear garden, where there are two patios.

Inside, you’ll find maple flooring, an open fireplace and a white Shaker-style kitchen. Each bedroom offers views of the coastline, while the master bedroom also has an en suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes. The heart of Wicklow town is a 20-minute walk away.
