NOT EVERYONE IS looking for an expansive family home.
For some, a small spot to call their own is more than enough, and these four homes around the country will provide just that.
From a sunny property in one of Dublin’s most vibrant neighbourhoods to a thatched cottage in Co Westmeath that would make the perfect retreat, these four one-bedroom homes are the perfect place to start in your property search for a small spot.
With a cheerful yellow door that offers a warm welcome, this one-bedroom property in Dublin’s Ranelagh neighbourhood offers 340 sq feet of space, just enough for one person or a couple. It’s located on a quiet cul de sac, and the LUAS green line is nearby.
While the home will require refurbishment and modernisation, the location will make it the perfect city spot for exploring the vibrant area. Inside, the living room leads to a galley kitchen and bathroom, as well as a double bedroom. The back patio is a south-facing suntrap.
Another cheery yellow door will greet you at this one-bedroom, two-bathroom property in Wexford. The property has been renovated throughout, and decorated with a rainbow of colours. The bright palette may not suit all tastes but it will certainly make one future homeowner very happy.
The back garden is enclosed and has a shed that contains the heat pump recovery system, making this little spot more energy efficient than most – and leaving as much liveable space indoors as possible.
This one bedroom, one bathroom property in Carbury, Co Kildare, could be the perfect country getaway or could even provide the perfect commuter location, as it is quite close to the N4 motorway, trains, and hourly buses into Dublin city.
With double-glazed windows and doors throughout, oil-fired central heating, a solid fuel fireplace, the property will keep you snug throughout the winter. Come summer, you’ll enjoy the large garden, complete with secure fencing and a garden shed.
The wildcard property in this round-up, this one-bedroom thatched cottage in Westmeath could be just what you’re looking for. While it doesn’t have a bathroom, it does have a bedroom, living room and kitchen – and it comes four acres, so you’ll have more than enough room to build yourself a WC.
In addition to the cottage and four acres, the sale can include up to three parcels of additional land, totting up to 40 additional acres. Inside, the property is small but quaint, with pitch pine ceiling and original details.
