Inner brightness in a great address

Tommy Barker reports on a fully-finished upgrade to a house on a choice, deep acre site

THE Grantstown Road is one of Waterford city’s best addresses, says auctioneer Margaret Fogarty — it’s the sort of place where detached houses have sites large enough for tennis courts and swimming pools.

And, sort of to prove the point, while the next-door neighbours here have a tennis court, The Willows’ own recent makeover and extension has seen a very large garden room sited just where its own former swimming pool sat.
