Space and privacy main advantages

A GEORGIAN gentleman’s residence on a secluded, four acre site close to Nenagh town is the ideal home of those looking for space, privacy and land.

However, the property, called Tyone House is just one miles from Nenagh and has some of its land zoned for development.

In fact, the four-acre belt will soon be serviced, giving the property a higher value than it would make as a residence.

But as a home, it needs no outlay whatsoever, says selling agent William Talbot of Sherry FitzGerald Talbot.

Set back off the road and at the end of a tree-lined avenue, it has that subtle grandeur of older properties and, according to Mr Talbot, has been restored and maintained over the years.

While it’s not a huge house, it’s nevertheless a large property with five bedrooms and two gracious living rooms as well as a kitchen and pantry.

There are two main bathrooms in the house and three of the bedrooms are ensuite. The sale also includes six loose boxes, a lofted tack room and a fuel house.

The ground are in great condition, says Mr Talbot, and are laid out in lawn with herbaceous and perennial beds. The remainder of the land is in paddocks.

One of the finest properties to come on the market in Nenagh for some time, according to Mr Talbot, Tyone House is sure to attract a lot of attention, but whether is will continue in residential use is moot, considering the high value of its privacy belt.

The property, denuded of its site, could convert to a care-centre, hostel, leisure centre or offices, says the agent, listing the post-developmental use of this fine, period house.
