Prime location for detached home to push price over €800,000 mark

A HOUSE with 'a taster menu' of architectural styles is set to make a strong impact on Limerick city's trading up market.

Hawthorns is a detached home in the affluent suburb of Castletroy, on private mature grounds in a cul de sac setting.

Nearby are schools, the University of Limerick, shopping centres, playing pitches and the city centre is four miles, with the Annacotty section of the ring road coming out to meet it with shortly.

The house is on the market with agents Rooneys, who don't quote an asking price, but the likelihood is that given its location, space, quality and privacy of grounds, it is set to tip over the €800,000 barrier.

The house, several decades old, is brick finished and symmetrical in its front facade as was the Georgian era wont and the house has been given period trimming flourishes, including shutters, corbels, stout chimneys and a Regency-style porch and is ageing well with creepers up the front.

The rear elevation is even busier, and from the back the house looks even larger that it appears from the front thanks to a wide sunroom/playroom measuring 19' by 15' which signals the space within.

Further accommodation at the comfortable family home includes entrance porch to a decent-sized hall, family room, as well as sitting room and 24' by 17' living room each with gently-curved bay windows, and kitchen with utility/WC.

Upstairs, Hawthorns comes with four bedrooms, with one en suite, plus a main family bathroom, and the attic overhead is floored for ease of storage. There's an attached garage, patios, good parking beyond the double gates.

"It is going to attract a lively market due to its excellent location and the quality of the property on offer," says Pat Kearney of Rooneys.
