THIS WEEK WE’RE heading to the midlands to find out what you could get for under €450k in today’s property market.
It can be hard to find the time to trawl through listings, so let us take a load off. If you’re looking to buy in Co Offaly, one of these houses may just tick all of the boxes.
A truly unique find close to Charleville Castle and Estate, St. Bartholomew’s is a converted 19th century chapel that blends architectural splendour with modern comforts. This 203 m², three-bed home exudes character, starting with its stone facade and arched wooden doors leading to a light-filled entrance hall featuring stained glass and a dramatic staircase. The drawing room impresses with its triple-aspect arched windows, timber beams and Victorian marble fireplace, while the breakfast room and kitchen showcase tasteful decor and open plan charm.
A highlight is the dining room, with a domed ceiling adorned with gilded script, a spiral staircase and enchanting arched windows. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings and Velux roof lights illuminate the bedrooms, and there’s a handy Jack-and-Jill en suite bathroom. Outdoors, enjoy a stone patio, greenhouse and dual garages. Just 4 km from Tullamore and over an hour from Dublin, this special home mixes history, elegance and tranquillity.
This six-bed detached dormer bungalow sits on an elevated, landscaped site of nearly half an acre. The property offers privacy and charm, accessed through a gated entrance and a sweeping driveway. The 206 m² home has bright, spacious rooms across two floors. The ground floor features a striking double-height entrance hall, a cosy sitting room with an open fire and a modern open plan kitchen with dining area that’s home to a solid fuel stove.
A sunroom overlooks the landscaped gardens, while four well-sized bedrooms, including one with en suite bathroom, and a stylish family bathroom complete the floor. Upstairs, two large bedrooms, another of which has an en suite bathroom, and a light-filled landing offer more space and comfort. Outside, enjoy lots of parking, a detached double-bay garage with storage and a lovely split-level garden with a cobble-lock patio. Located 1km from Killeigh village, this home blends rural tranquillity with accessibility to nearby amenities.
