Four under €299,000: homes in Wexford, Kildare, Galway and Westmeath

Walk-in properties at keener prices in Wexford town, Maynooth, Oranmore and Kinnegad

10 Davitt Road South, Wexford town

This three-bedroom bungalow within walking distance of Wexford town has been refurbished to a high standard with a tasteful, modern finish throughout. You enter the 80sq m (861sq ft) home into a front hallway before ascending a step to the livingroom, which is small but well laid out with a wood-burning stove at its centre.

The airy kitchen-diner is to the back of the property, part of which is an extension, and accordion French doors open out to the back garden, optimising the feeling of space.

The three bedrooms are in the centre of the home and the main bedroom has built-in mirrored wardrobes and a contemporary en suite. The main shower room is also here, with a rooflight overhead. There is also a small utility room.

The back garden is pretty with flowers galore and steps from the patio leading up to a lawn, where there is a greenhouse for growing vegetables. This walk-in gem, which has a D1 Ber, is on the market through Keane Auctioneers, seeking €295,000.
