Treasure of a home at Rosehill in Douglas
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.
Overall condition is very good, but any new owners are likely to make some decorative changes, and the site is plenty big enough for extension plans too: the difficulties of getting planning for any new one-off build in this area underscore the site’s value, and any further spending, into the future.
Rooms within include hall, a living room 21’ by 13’ with sliding patio doors, a family room with solid fuel stove, the kitchen has oak units, and there’s a dressing room off the main bedroom as well as a private bathroom. There are three other bedrooms, one at an upper level, and a main family bathroom.
Heating is via oil, and there’s a large garage.
