4 of a kind: Homes where an open-plan design brings the light in

From a five-bed in Co Limerick to a two-bed apartment in Clontarf.

FOR MANY, IF not all, house-hunters, the level of natural light can make or break a property’s appeal. 

This week, we’re looking at homes around the country with bright and spacious interiors – from a five-bed in Co Limerick to a two-bed apartment in Clontarf. 

Castletroy, Co Limerick – €450,000

Coming to the market in turn-key condition, 33 Oakfield is a five-bed property with an impressive interior. Measuring 2,400 sq ft, No 33 boasts spacious living and dining areas, including a large sunroom with a free-standing stove. All five bedrooms are located on the first floor, as well as two en suite bathrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, the property sits on a landscaped plot with a south-west facing rear garden, patio area and a covered water feature. There’s also a two-storey detached garage of 361 sq ft, as well as an internal garage. The University of Limerick is a 10-minute drive away, while there are a number of schools, shops and sports clubs within walking distance.

Clontarf, Dublin 3 – €320,000

Located just off the Howth Road, this two-bed apartment is less than a five-minute walk from the Clontarf seafront. It features a bright, modern interior with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area that’s filled with light thanks to the adjoining south-facing balcony. 

The two double bedrooms also benefit from a south-facing aspect, with an en suite bathroom extending from the master bedroom. The development is secured behind locked gates, while each block features a communal roof terrace for sunny summer evenings. Clontarf DART station is a 10-minute walk away, while a number of buses run nearby.
