IF YOU CAN’T bear the thought of another autumn and winter spent commuting in the rain and wind, a working-from-home situation could be the answer.
Whether you base yourself in your home office five days a week or just use it as a quiet, family-free space to get through important tasks, a home with a dedicated work space can offer an extra element of convenience and calm. Plus it means you’ll never have to litter your kitchen table with laptops and mixed-up files again.
We’ve taken the liberty of seeking out four homes around the country with their own office space or study included. Interested? Take a look…
Sitting proudly on a landscaped site of 1.1 acres, this four-bedroom property is generously proportioned inside, too. It extends to over 2,930 sq foot and includes both a music room/office and a large gym room, the latter of which could easily be converted into a bedroom.
Additionally, the ground floor of the house has a sitting room, a kitchen/dining area, a utility room, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom.
Located just two minutes outside Killinick village, The Old Post Office is truly a must-see home, thanks to its many unusual design features. Sitting on a private gated site, the property includes a decking area, outbuildings, and a 600 sq ft garden room that would work perfectly as a gym or home office. Inside, the property itself features oak flooring sourced from an Amish barn.
Downstairs, the Old Post Office comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/dining room, a living room, a study/office and a utility room. Upstairs are a bathroom and three bedrooms, including the master suite with its own balcony and en-suite WC.
Set on two magnificent acres of landscaped gardens, this six-bedroom home enjoys complete privacy and plenty of space for outdoor and indoor entertaining. With six bedrooms, five bathrooms and three reception rooms, the home would work as either a live-in guest house or a family home.
Features of particular note include a soundproofed office, a reading room with a solid oak bookcase, a games room with purpose-built snooker table, a 4ft-wide pine staircase, a Waterford Crystal chandelier and a sunny south-facing patio area outside.
This listed building in Galway city is a rare find, especially given its superb refurbishment inside. The six-bedroom terraced property could be used as a family home, medical or legal consulting rooms or a mixture of both.
The property is split over three storeys and also features and a large rear garden with parking for up to six cars. The property’s basement features a study and music room that, if converted back to bedrooms, would make the whole lower level a perfect self-contained apartment.
