Co Tipperary: €1.5mA manageable five-bedroom country house on 20 acres near Cahir, in Co Tipperary is on the market asking €1.5 million through Clonmel agent PF Quirke & Co.
Thonoge House at Roosca is one of those long low 19th century farmhouses set at the end of a tree-lined driveway and with a number of useful outbuildings.
In this case there is a two-bedroom gate-lodge, a stableyard and a pretty little house called Granny Quinn's cottage, which is suitable for holiday lets, according to selling agent Pat Quirke.
The grounds include an orchard and fruit garden, a sand arena and paddocks.
The main house stands two storeys over basement with two formal reception rooms on the ground floor along with a terrific country-style kitchen complete with Aga.
A secondary staircase leads to the first floor. All five bedrooms are at this level, along with a nursery and a family bathroom.
The basement is used for storage at present, but could be upgraded.
Dublin is a two hour drive away - too far to commute every day, but it does put Thonoge well within the range as a weekend getaway with room for the horses, and plenty of house guests - all for the price of semi in the suburbs.
