Number 7 Orchard Wood sounds like a dull semi in suburbia - in fact it's a spanking new modern house tucked away in the grounds of Dromoland Castle, in Co Clare. One of 14 houses built on the edge of the golf course, it is owned by Dan McInerney, former head of McInerney Properties. He's looking for offers of £450,000 through joint agents Hamilton Osborne King and Ennis agent Dermot McMahon of McMahon Sherry FitzGerald. For that price you get a period-style, split-level house with three bedrooms, two reception rooms and an impressive conservatory-style hall. It stands on one-third of an acre with direct access to the 8th hole. Sadly, thought, there's no free golf. Dan, meanwhile, is not moving very far - he has another house just yards away.
