THE desirability of this spacious detached house at 7 Clanwilliam Square, Golf Links Road, Castletroy, in Limerick has a lot to do with its exclusivity.
“It’s in a peaceful cul-de-sac of just seven houses — very few developments in the city are this small and exclusive,’’ observes Brenda Mulcahy of Sherry FitzGerald Limerick, who is quoting a guide price of €895,000 for the 2015-built, A3-rated property.
All seven houses in the development feature Georgian-style elegance with tall, multiple-paned windows and a flat-roofed porch with period-style moulding.
The owners, who purchased the home as a new build in 2015, gave it a high-end finish to match its elegant exterior.
“Our aim was to give it a modern and classic look — the bedrooms and the lounge each have a feature wall, and each of the bedrooms has a theme,’’ reveals the owner, adding they also put a lot of effort into landscaping the garden and turning it into a space for both entertaining and relaxing.
Describing it as “a magnificent double-fronted detached home with a luxurious standard of finish,’’ Ms Mulcahy explains that its A3 energy rating comes from double glazing and an air-to-water heat pump.
The main living space in the 191 sq m house is a long kitchen/dining/living room that runs the full length of the rear. Bright, modern and stylish, it has light cream units topped with flecked granite countertops and a large pale-blue island.
Here the owners have created a feature wall using a striking shade of deep orange.
At the front of the house are two timber-floored reception rooms — each with two tall windows — including one that connects to the kitchen by sliding doors and has a fireplace with a stove. Fern-covered wallpaper on the feature wall gives the room a botanical theme.
The second front reception room has built-in shelving and is used as a library/home office but could serve as a playroom or additional living space. Off the kitchen at the rear, there’s a utility room, and off the main hallway is a guest WC, which has a Chinese theme with quirky, colourful wallpaper.
A staircase leads from the hallway to the first floor, which has a bathroom and four bedrooms, including two with en suites. The master bedroom has two walk-in wardrobes, an en suite, and a purple floral theme on its feature wall, echoed in the curtains and lighting. The smallest bedroom has been turned into a cosy TV room.
To the rear is a private, professionally landscaped garden with a patio, a lawned area and mature trees. “We added a circular water feature for a Zen effect and a semi-circular patio finished in Donegal Quartzite,” reveals the owner.
Ms Mulcahy says the property is desirable not only for its high-end finish but also for its location.
“It’s within striking distance of every amenity necessary for modern living, including excellent schools, sporting amenities, shopping, restaurants and transport links like the M7 motorway.”
This is only the second resale of a Clanwilliam Square property — No 3, which sold in 2022 for €795,000, was the first. The Property Price Register shows a very significant increase in value for the properties since 2015 — No 3 originally sold for €440,000 and No 7 for €316,255.
Evidence of the desirability of properties in the Golf Links Road area can be seen from the fact that No 4 Clanwilliam, a nearby house of similar design but larger, sold for €1.3m in 2022 — one of the highest-priced sales in Castletroy in recent years.
