Three-bed house with apartment

A LARGE, detached Castletroy, Limerick house is on the market with 2,400 sq ft of space, including a three-bed self-contained apartment which generates a nifty annual sum.

The rental accommodation could be handy for a buyer who won't need all the space initially for personal use, and who can take advantage of the previous budget's provision allowing a considerable chunk of 'rent-a-room' income to be free of tax.

No. 67 Monaleen Heights is one of a handful of large, detached houses built about four years ago in an older, settled estate, and has a site of around one-sixth of an acre.
