Moving mansions

THERE’S a touch of musical chairs in the upper echelons of Waterford’s residential market, with the buyer of a €1.95 modern mansion now selling his own fine period home, seeking over €1 million.

Former bookmaker, local personality and beneficiary of a significant recent land sale, JJ Harney has put Knockhouse, at Grecedieu, up for sale with a €1.1 million guide with agent John Rohan.

JJ Harney successfully bought the 7,000 sq ft Carrigleigh House, a smart Georgian facsimile, within days of it going on the market with Waterford estate agent John Rohan at the end of the summer.
