Trading up: Grantstown, Waterford. €279,000

Ticking lots of boxes for families trading up in Waterford city will be the Granstown four-bed detached home, 4 Palm Drive - it even has a palm tree in its front garden.

Done in a sort of Tudor timber style across its front two-storey/part-dormer facade, it’s in a cul de sac niche of six similar sized houses, off the Williamstown and Outer Ring Road, just south of the Dunmore Road.

South-facing in front, it has an extra-large, irregularly sized back and side garden set-up, with plenty of outdoor space for families with children to play in and around.
