From surgery to tennis court, and home for dinner

TRADITIONALLY the best location in Roscrea, Parkmore houses are always in demand and the opportunity to buy an extra large property has now come up with auctioneer Julie Fogarty.

She’s selling a rangy, five-bedroomed house there on a one and a half acre site, with attached surgery.

No prizes for guessing this was a doctor’s house: now that the children are grown, the vendors have moved and this modern-styled house is one the market at 300,000.

While it will need modernisation, the property is in good structural condition and would make an excellent investment for those looking to trade up in the Roscrea area.

After all, the site is very large and includes mature trees and beds as well as a hard surface tennis court and the surgery could be re-absorbed into the house to provide a seven-bedroomed residence.

Right now, the accommodation includes a study, sitting with large bay window, living room with open fireplace, conservatory with beech floor and a kitchen with extensive pine fitted units, five bedrooms and a bathroom.

The surgery could also be used as a separate, two-roomed apartment or it could also suit an alternative therapist or clinician.

The house has a woodland setting and has climbers like clematis and wisteria; it also has a hornbeam gazebo at the rear.

The total area of the property is 2,164 square feet.
