Treasure of a home at Rosehill in Douglas

UP outside Douglas, in still green-belted bliss and with sporting amenities nearby like Corinthians for soccer training and Harlequins for hockey, this Castletreasure home is set to sell in the high €600,000s.

Guided at €675,000 by Dennis Guerin of Frank V Murphy & Co auctioneers, it is about two miles from Douglas village, and is on an elevated site of half an acre, with views back towards Cork city.

The four-bed home at Rosehill, called Clarence House, was designed by architect Eddie Keating, back in the 1970s, and has about 1,900 sq ft, with one of its four bedrooms en suite.
