Big house large price

IF the devil is in the detail, then this house at Ballyanrahan West in Patrickswell, Co Limerick, is well on the road to perdition - by way of the Adare Bypass.

Recently built of cut-limestone, with red brick quoins and covering an area in excess of 3,300 square feet (and that's without counting the detached garage) this is no small house, and it has no small price tag.

Add €100k to the guide of €900,000 and you're talking a million euro property, but according to Diarmuid Madigan of selling agents Sherry FitzGerald O'Malley, it's well worth it because of the size, location and quality of finish.
