Ideal for horse lovers

HORSES for courses: not only is this Limerick-Cork county border bungalow down significantly in price, it also has attractions beyond its own four walls.

Ideal for horse and pony lovers, Treanlewis on 5.5 acres has a 2,000 sq ft five-bed bungalow for the humans, and land, four loose boxes and an all-weather menages for the nags.

Almost as close to Charleville as it is to Kilmallock, the house is in pristine condition, says selling agent Joe Wheeler who has dropped the asking price from €500,000 to €425,000.

The single storey house has a large 19’ by 16’ sitting room, equally large dining room, a fitted kitchen with all appliances, a utility as big as some kitchens, guest WC, five bedrooms, all with built-ins, and main family bathroom.

Heating is via oil, and windows are teak and double glazed.

There’s good creature comforts for those interested in keeping horses and ponies, including a 45’ by 36’ haybarn and stables, four loose boxes, a two-column barn and an all-weather railed arena.
