Newchurch, Kilmoganny, Co Kilkenny
This two-bedroom cottage has been renovated and extended to create a comfortable contemporary home in the Kilkenny countryside, a 10-minute drive from Carrick-on-Suir, 20 minutes from Waterford and 25 minutes from Kilkenny. This home is likely to suit someone who works from home, as a cut-stone outbuilding has been turned into a stylish office. The property, which has a B3 Ber, also has an extensive garden of approximately 0.5 acres.
The property consists of an open-plan kitchen/living area (the kitchen has modern grey units) which opens out to the back patio through double doors. There is a double bedroom and a single bedroom as well as a lovely, up-to-date bathroom. This charming home is on the market through Brophy Cusack estate agents, seeking €300,000.
17 Emerald Square, Dolphin’s Barn, Dublin 8
This two-bedroom terrace comes to the market in good condition just off Cork Street in Dublin 8. The asking price of €295,000, selling through Moovingo, is likely to appeal to those looking to buy an own-door property within walking distance of the city centre.
You enter the property into a small hallway where there is a cupboard under the stairs for storing coats and shoes. The living/diningroom is to the front of the house with a fireplace at its centre. The interior throughout feels airy, with wood-effect floors and white walls.
The kitchen, which is quite small and in an L configuration, has white units which are functional, although not modern-looking. There is a charming old window feature between the kitchen and the stairwell. The shower room is beyond the kitchen and although fit for purpose, could perhaps benefit from a cosmetic refresh. There are two double bedrooms upstairs.
The south-facing back garden consists of an upper and lower terrace. The property, which measures 63sq m (678sq ft), has a lowly G Ber rating, which a new owner may want to address.
