Far from the madding crowd

IT can’t be said often enough that moving out of the city makes financial, and even psychological, sense, and, considering the price of houses in middle Ireland, this could prove easy.

For a quarter of the cost of a studio apartment in Dublin or the average price of a starter home in Cork city, you can have a very attractive, five-bedroomed house in Tipperary.

Waking up every morning to fresh air and a tiny mortgage could make up for the lack of pizza delivery and if that’s your mindset, then Camblin in Roscrea could be worth the once over.
