3 waterside homes around Ireland on the market for under €250,000

Whether you’ve always dreamed of living by the sea or would love life by a river, these homes prove you can do so on a budget.

Living near water has a real appeal for many of us. Whether you’d love easy access to beach walks, or have a love of water sports, there are so many benefits. 

And while waterside homes often command high prices, we’ve found three that prove that it’s possible even if you don’t have a millionaire’s budget.

11 The Waterfront, Dromod, Co Leitrim, €225,000

This three-bed, two-bath home overlooks Dromod Harbour on the banks of the River Shannon. The design includes floor-to-ceiling glazing which makes the most of bright days, while the surrounding area is peaceful and well-maintained. 

Dromod is known for its restaurants and pubs, while the train station is just a 10-minute walk away, providing good access to both Dublin and Sligo. The views of the harbour are undoubtedly a big draw of this home. 

5 Strand Avenue, Rosslare Strand, Rosslare, Co Wexford, €199,000

This two-bed apartment is less than a minute’s walk from the beautiful Rosslare Strand. It consists of an open plan living and kitchen area, two bedrooms, and there is also an outdoor seating area. Both the kitchen and the main bedroom have sea views.

The apartment is accessed through electric gates, and comes with two car parking spaces. One of five apartments located above a small retail unit, it’s also just 20 minutes from Wexford by car, or 25 minutes by train. 

18 Strand Court, Rosslare Strand, Co. Wexford, €249,000

Also overlooking Rosslare Strand, this two-bed terraced bungalow has recently been refurbished, with a new kitchen, bathroom, and flooring, ensuring it is ready to move into straight away.

There is an open plan living area and kitchen, as well as a shower room and two bedrooms. Its proximity to the beach means it would also be perfect for those looking for a holiday home.
