Home seeks professional

PERIOD, but manageable, that’s the short take on the Waterford home Inisfail House, which goes under the auction hammer next Thursday, guiding at €1 million.

The genteel home is just off the Woodstown Road, in a Dunmore Road area heavy with period beauties, and this is probably one of the more affordable — in relative terms, that is.

It is being sold for a retired medic, who has owned it for several decades, by estate agent Des O’Shea of O’Shea O’Toole, and he says a buyer is likely to come from the same sort of city-based professional cohort as the area is popular with doctors in the easily-reached Regional Hospital: it is six miles south of Waterford city.
