Limerick family home full of charm and period character

IT MAY be in the county, but the city is fast coming out to meet it, which means the satellite town of Patrickswell, in Co Limerick, is all set for a raft of new developments when the infrastructure is in place.

Right now the bypass means the commute to the city can be as short as five minutes and with the spanking new Limerick racecourse on its doorstep, Patrickswell is already swelling.

Mid-way between Adare and the city, planning has already been granted for 250 homes on a 17-acre site close to the village, but with sensible planning, the area should retain its predominantly rural ambience.
