Home will be music to buyer’s ears

THIS property at 50, Scrahan Mews sounds good. Not only does it have a perch on the salubrious Ross Road in Killarney, it also comes with a most unusual extra — a recording studio.

The vendor is a Killarney musician and he converted the ground floor garage area to his own little Abbey Road. Now the house is up for grabs, so too is the studio, but if it doesn’t suit it could convert back to playroom or study, says selling agent, Tom Crowley of Tom Spillane and Co. The agent is looking for €550,000 for this substantial, detached house, and says it’s the only one of its kind in the development.

There are some nice extras: there’s a proper glass roofed conservatory at the rear and it connects to the kitchen which comes with a slate, brick and wood look in traditional style. Rooms include a lounge and study, as well as a utility and guest WC. Upstairs, there’s an en suite master bedroom, three other rooms and a main bathroom.
