We can’t help but be drawn to the charm of Irish cottages. Their simple style combined with their interesting features promises a unique home, and often one that will provide the opportunity to put your own stamp on it.

Here are three that are currently on the market, all for €200,000 and under. 

Monmore, Kilrush, Clare, €149,000

This three-bed cottage has been well maintained, and in some places modernised by its current owners. The main area of the home is an open-plan kitchen and living area, which features an impressive stone hearth with a stove and a skylight, while the bedrooms are all well-sized.

Set in a quiet countryside location, this home is not far from the town of Kilrush, and is also close to the Clare coastline. 

Ballymoneen, Avoca, Wicklow, €200,000

This cottage, which would need a serious renovation, is located just outside the picturesque village of Avoca and has the potential to make a beautiful home. 

It sits on a 0.86 acre site, and is also 13 kilometres from Arklow. It’s definitely one for someone willing to take on a project.

Glyn, Ferbane, Co. Offaly, €189,000

With traditional cottage features and a quiet rural location, this charming two-bedroom home in Co Offaly would be a dream for those who enjoy a slower, more peaceful way of life.

Approximately 3km from Ferbane and only 30 minutes from Athlone, there are myriad facilities nearby including shops, restaurants, pubs and other such amenities. Galway city is also conveniently close and can be reached in under 1 hour and 15 minutes by car.
