Great site and a great house

CAMEL through the eye of a needle is about the level of difficulty that non-locals encounter when trying a self-build anywhere near the Lakes of Killarney.

Which is why the sale of this four-bed in salubrious Aghadoe should get buyers interested. And even with planning eligibility, the cost of a mature site like this, plus the almost 2,000 square foot build, means it would be hard to construct to this level at the current asking of €340,000 through auctioneer, Billy Hennigan.

Curragh Lodge is a high-spec house with an architectural finish and a quality, open plan interior where insulation logs a high B3 finish and where there are four bedrooms available and a range of living rooms, including a vaulted conservatory/ lounge. Set in private, enclosing woodland by the National Park and Killarney Golf Course, this house has a very mature setting, yet the town is minutes away and there are great mountain views. Despite being a four bed with good space, there’s plenty of room for extending, and Curragh Lodge comes with current planning permission for a house extension and more garage space, too, according to auctioneer Billy Hennigan, who says the property is great value at the asking price of €340,000.

Also included, (and fantastic additions) are a central vacuum system, underfloor heating run on oil and solid wood stove in the living room.

Verdict: Great site, great house, have a look.
