After 20 years of living in an apartment in Dublin, we decided to move out of the city. The schoolhouse in Co Tipperary had been unoccupied for decades. It served as a national school and teacher’s residence until the early 1960s, writes Andrea Carter. https://t.co/80trAkCkai

Achieving a high-end look in your home doesn’t necessarily mean choosing the most expensive materials. The trick is knowing where to spend, where to save, and how to make every euro count. https://t.co/8s5oDlFDPB

Perched at the edge of Killiney Hill Park, this renovated two-bed apartment benefits from being located by nature and sea. https://t.co/d926TZ3eLd

From the outside, this looks like a typical 1950s suburban build with its arched porch and front garden, overhung by mature trees. But on entering the five-bed detached home in Rathfarnham, prepare to be wowed by its sleek and modern interior. https://t.co/cqEVEXMvgI

It is clear when you walk through the door of this home that the owners come from an artistic background. The colours are calm and considered, allowing the period features of the 1860s property to remain centre stage. https://t.co/QrOnxe9sPk

One price, home and away: From a thatched cottage in Lisdonagh to a five-bed villa in Chiang Mai, which property would you buy? https://t.co/c3UUdwo0VM

The views of the surrounding parklands are good from any apartment at Bushy Park House, but the treetop setting of the penthouses is the prime spot at the Terenure development. https://t.co/Qb4lNUsOe1

Open-plan kitchen/dining/livingrooms are commonplace these days, but they don’t work for everyone. The owners of this six-bed in Rathfarnham knew they wanted to incorporate some separate living spaces for their growing family when they redesigned. https://t.co/yQVEyLV1BE

Look inside: Although from the outside it retains an old-world appearance, this split-level semidetached house has been extended and renovated in a thoroughly modern fashion. https://t.co/ytYrhCGByp

Look inside: This luxurious architect-designed, six-bedroom detached house in Rathfarnham offers plenty of privacy for its residents along with ample living space. It also features a vast recreation/games room spanning the width of the house. https://t.co/AiFYvtRKXV

Stillorgan two-bed for €425,000: The south-facing patio is private, bordered by a hedge. It is a perfect sun trap for those al-fresco evenings. https://t.co/jgiPAmiFtp

An extensive retrofit resulted in an A1 energy rating for this home, almost unheard of for a property its age. The building was laid out as six bedsits and an apartment when it was purchased , but a thorough renovation returned it to a single residence. https://t.co/l3cwhrsS3g

After years spent maintaining a family home, downsizing to somewhere smaller, warmer and easier to manage can seem like a sensible next step. Despite the challenges, if you plan early and make yourself familiar with the market, the move is very doable. https://t.co/RWPSZAB0jC

Swimmers may be attracted to this house which is not far from Killiney Beach. The dormer bungalow, built in the 1970s, has been revamped by its owners, and has attractive modern features. https://t.co/zFiPZohEl3

The beauty of retirement is the time it allows for pursuing interests. For those with a cultural leaning, living close to the city centre provides easy access to museums and theatres. This property could be the ticket for a culture-conscious downsizer. https://t.co/9Fcv7mQxRR
