A GARDEN ROOM is a huge plus for anyone who likes to host, works from home or simply fancies a break away from a busy family from time to time. This week, we’ve found four homes across the country that each have their own little detached spaces with huge potential.
From a cosy cottage in Kilkenny to a huge four-bed in Watergrasshill, here’s what’s on offer.
This restored and extended two-bed cottage in Kilmoganny stands on about half an acre of landscaped gardens ideal for outdoor gatherings. Inside, the cottage features an open plan kitchen and living area, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. The current owners have also renovated The Forge, a garden room that is currently being used as a home office and gym, complete with a thermostatic electric heating system and excellent insulation.
The property has a B3 energy rating, along with oil fired central heating, solar panels, patio doors, a carport, and a comprehensive alarm system with camera wiring. The interiors feature a modern contemporary twist, with well-lit and inviting spaces. Located just a short drive from Kilkenny, Waterford, Carrick on Suir, and Knocktopher, this cottage offers a peaceful rural lifestyle with convenient access to nearby towns.
43 Oakdene in Herons Wood is an updated four-bed home. Recently upgraded with new doors, windows, and insulation, it’s ready to walk into and has a B2 energy rating along with an extension to the back. The 144 m² house sits on a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking a large green area. Inside, the home comprises a hallway, sitting room, kitchen, dining room, lounge, and utility room on the ground floor.
Upstairs, you’ll find the main bedroom with its own bathroom,, along with three more bedrooms and a family bathroom. The outside parks up to two cars and the garden to the front is mature. There is also a lovely patio and garden at the back, which is home to a concrete shed.
Caha View in the area of Skehanagh is a four-bed home set on about .75 acres of landscaped gardens. The house has a B2 energy rating and an extension to the back, which brings the floor area to a generous 350 m². The rooms inside comprise a spacious open plan family room, kitchen, and a sunroom. Underfloor heating and an Eco stove ensure comfort throughout. The garden features Ballygarvan stone patios that create the perfect setting for outdoor dining and gatherings.
The outside also features stables for equestrian enthusiasts, a large shed with a mezzanine/loft, and an oversized double garage, which all have great potential whether a home office or extra accommodation is in your sights. Watergrasshill village and a short distance from Cork city.
Beechbrooke House in Tramore is a four-bed that stands on about an acre of land and is surrounded by landscaped gardens. This large 257 m² house is filled with natural light and has a view of the Newtown woodland area. The rooms comprise an open plan space that’s home to the kitchen, dining area and lounge, which was refurbished in 2020. Solar panels on the rear roof contribute to the C1 energy rating. A large garage adjacent to the house offers additional storage space and renovation potential.
