House of the week
It last changed hands in the 1970s, when it was 100 years old, and had seen a few broods reared. Vendors back then were the Walsh family, one of whom was Edward, later Dr Ed Walsh, founding president of University of Limerick.
This fine, Shankiel home has an acre of gardens that includes a level section that was a lawn tennis court, a charming sheltered walled orchard, and outbuildings for children to explore and run riot around.
