Time to shell-out on Rafeen project that will require plenty of energy

There’s quite a package on offer here for those who want a country-style home, yet be close to amenities at this affordable Rafeen property purchase.

Why? Because the house needs renovation, lots. Think building project, with the existing house as a template.

A decent, four-square block of a two-storey house, just a bit shy of 2,000 sq ft, this place comes on a site of 0.8 of an acre, with garage and outbuildings, by Rafeen creek and Shanbally — with the larger centres of Monkstown and Carrigaline a few miles off in opposite directions.
