Georgian gem perfect for modern living

BUILT in the 1800s and completely renovated by its vendors, Coalfield House in The Commons, Thurles, is a period residence that is on the market at an affordable level for properties of its type.

It’s for sale through Peter McCreery of Sherry FitzGeraldMcCreery for offers in the region of €500,000 and is in ready to go condition, he says.

With lots of period features, Coalfield has also been extended to the side and rear and the front facade belies the level of accommodation available.

With its simple Georgian style, the house is a little gem, he says, and is perfect for modern family living.

Rooms are a good, manageable size, and formal reception rooms include a drawing room and dining room, both of which are 15’ by 15’.

The main kitchen comes with a Rayburn stove and oak units and leads out to a large conservatory linked to the music room and library. Both are new additions and have high ceilings and cornicing.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms, one of which is en suite, and a large main bathroom.

Other features includes a garden room and an incomplete potting shed.

Large lawns and an impressive driveway are part of the hard landscaping and the grounds have mature trees and shrubs.

Close to Kilkenny city and Thurles town, Coalfield House also has a great location, says Mr McCreery.
