Come home to wide open

Tommy Barker almost gets lost in all the luxury, open spaces and gorgeous views offered

HABLAS Espanol? Irish Celtic Tigers who got a taste for Spain during the good years might like to get a touch of the Iberian peninsula on home turf. If so, this Cratloe, Clare/Limerick home at just under the €1 million mark, might fit the bill.

Designed as a one-off and owned by a builder who furnished it to Hola! magazine standards, it is a recently built large family home of 4,900 sq ft, with lots of opulent features and loads of large glazed areas to catch the country views and the vista out towards Bunratty Castle and the Shannon estuary.
