Country home feel

Location: Ennis Road, Limerick

THE Limerick city family home at 7 Waterville might have antique touches, but, really, it’s bang up to date. Only a decade or two old, there’s a strong country home feel and flair to this four-bed detached home, right down to feature walls in old brick, an Aga in the kitchen, plus a Belfast sink, as well as a roll-top and claw-foot bath in the main family bathroom next to a brass heated towel rad — with wainscoting on the lower walls, naturally.

No 7 Waterville is off the Ennis Road, near Roses Avenue in a small cul-de-sac setting, and it’s handily tucked away in a back corner too, next to a tall estate-like limestone wall with mature trees beyond, again adding to the older-world feel of this property.
