4 of a kind: Homes with feature fireplaces for cosy nights in

Feeling chilly during the Irish ‘summer’? You’ll find all the creature comforts you need in these four homes.

WHILE WE MAY be into the summer months, there’s never a guarantee that we won’t be turning on the heating or lighting the fire over the coming weeks. 

This week we’re looking at four properties around the country with feature fireplaces to curl up in front of – from a four-bed in a gated development in Cork to a three-bed in Dublin 8.

Dooradoyle, Co Limerick – €289,000

A three-bed property, 36 The Forts is a modern and stylish family home. It comes to the market in turn-key condition, with an on-trend grey and white colour scheme throughout the property.

The accommodation includes a large living room with a bay window, solid wood flooring and a feature fireplace. The kitchen and diner to the rear is highly impressive, with wall panelling, white cabinetry and a large centre island. Each of the three bedrooms are doubles, with an en suite bathroom from the master bedroom. The rear garden is south-west facing and comprises a patio and lawn area.
