WITH COMPLETE PRIVACY and no noisy neighbours to worry about, it’s no wonder why detached homes are some of the most sought-after property types for large families.
This week, we’ve rounded up four of the very best extra-large detached homes – all with at least five bedrooms and perfect in layout for any growing family (or aspiring B&B owner).
Mountrush is a home on the higher end of the bedroom count. This ten-bed, ten-bath property sits on an impressive 13 acres, five of which have been dedicated to the surrounding manicured gardens. Inside, the reception rooms and the large kitchen and dining room make up the ground floor. On the top floor, there’s a self-contained unit complete with a kitchen, a bedroom and even a living room.
For families that love the outdoors, Mountrush’s location means that regular salmon and trout fishing on the nearby River Boyne, rounds of golf and days at the beach aren’t mere pipe dreams. The Louth village of Ardee is a five minute drive away, with Dundalk 20 minutes away. A a trip on the M1 will have you at Dublin Airport or even the city within the hour.
Sitting on over an acre of land, The Liberties is sure to catch the eye of any discerning buyers who have modern design and plenty of space on their ‘must-have’ lists. As well as five-bed home with seven WCs, the spacious solid oak kitchen benefits from underfloor heating, tough granite worktops and integrated appliances. Other high-tech features include an internal vacuum system and electronic gates at the entrance.
For families looking for the quiet life, The Liberties strikes the perfect balance. Just five minutes from the village of Carlingford, there’s no shortage of amenities for every age, yet the property still commands relaxation so you can enjoy the views of Carlingford Lough, Mourne Mountains and Slieve Foy, right from the doorstep.
22 Coundon Court is a detached family home with an interesting configuration that lends itself to plenty of space and attractive features inside and out. Spread over three floors, the ground comprises of the large living room, formal dining room and kitchen with an extra dining space for more casual occasions. There are two double bedrooms on this level, with four more upstairs. Outside, decking surrounds the house, as does the lovely garden and plenty of space for parking.
Standing on the outskirts of Killiney, No 22 is a short walk from the village. Served by the DART, bus routes to the city centre and surrounding area, new home owners have their pick of the schools and amenities in south Co Dublin, making Coundon Court the perfect base for large families.
It’s on the market for €1,500,000.
Spread over 4,000 sq ft, Kalina is a five-bed home sitting on a 1.2 acre site with river views, lots of parking and a generous decking area that’s ideal for outdoor entertaining. Bright, spacious rooms reside inside and include an impressive hallway, an inviting country-style kitchen with a dining and a lounge area. The garage could easily be converted into extra accommodation, too.
Wexford town centre can be driven to in minutes, so there’s no shortage of shops, restaurants, schools and supermarkets, while the N11, N25 and M50 will keep Kalina’s new owner easily connected to the towns and villages of the east. What’s more is the M11 motorway direct to Dublin is due to be completed soon, too.
