Queen of the roses

BUYERS at the very top end of the property market appear bullish about values — they are snapping up €1 million-plus properties about Munster.

Good solid sales across a range of city and country properties have been recorded as the autumn selling season gets into swing, and that's encouraging for the vendors of Rosehill, a Georgian home near Douglas in Cork.

It hits the market pitched at the uppermost end of the scale, with a €2.5 million guide quoted by John Gaffney of GVM Auctioneers, has about 3,000 sq ft of space and four bedrooms, with courtyard, in the middle of 16 valuable acres. It has been extensively refurbished.
