Tullow: from €420,000 Another 10 four-bedroom houses go on sale this weekend at the swish Mount Wolseley Hotel, Spa and Country Club at Tullow, Co Carlow. Golfers will be particularly enamoured, given the quality of this 18-hole course.
Prices start at €420,000 for these frontline golf houses, which carry the bonus of a golf membership package which can be re-sold with the house. Joint agents Hooke & MacDonald and Sherry FitzGerald McDermott will be taking bookings at showhouses, open for viewing on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Mount Wolseley has recently had an expensive upgrade, transforming the golf and country club into a world class resort. A five-star Hilton hotel is in operation and the spa, swimming pool and tennis court are popular attractions for non-golfing residents.
Another plus is the fairly short drive from Dublin to Mount Wolseley, providing opportunities for weekend visits. Developer Lismard Enterprises has a personal interest in the resort and, as a result, the houses are finished to a good specification.
Each house includes a study, sittingroom and big kitchen/diningroom at the back. Two of the four bedrooms are en suite and there is a general bathroom. Front driveways and gardens are also included.
Designed by Christy O'Connor Jnr, the course has signature holes at the 11th and 18th. Visual treats include an ornamental lake which is now a wildlife habitat and the distant Carlow mountains. The houses on sale this weekend are completed and ready to move into right away.
