4 of a kind: Homes with large balconies and beautiful views

From a four-storey home in Cork to a house by the coast in Co Dublin.

WE DON’T ALWAYS have the weather in Ireland to sit outdoors and bask in the sun. So on the days the mercury does rise, we need to make the most of it.

This week we’re looking at four homes around the country with balconies for wining, dining and relaxing al fresco – from a four-storey home in Cork to a house by the coast in Co Dublin.

Fivemilebridge, Co Cork – €795,000

From the front, Riverview House looks like an unsuspecting detached property. To the rear, however, four floors of light-filled accommodation are revealed. Built in 2008, the 4,400 sq ft property boasts a spacious, bright interior with views over the River Owenabue and the surrounding countryside, as well as two balconies with a south-facing aspect.
