CO TIPPERARY:OFFERS IN the region of €1,195,000 are being sought for a newly restored Georgian house on 18 acres near Fethard, Co Tipperary. The sale is being handled by Colliers International.
Magorban House is a spacious, well-proportioned house, yet highly practical and comfortable. It will have an immediate appeal to families who value a rural lifestyle.
The property was bought by the present owners just over 10 years ago and has since been remodelled and upgraded in a skilful and sympathetic way to make the maximum use of the three storeys.
The ground floor, previously designed as a half basement, was lowered, insulated and converted into a full-scale garden level to accommodate a large kitchen complete with the customary Aga, a solid-walnut-floored diningroom and a sunroom with doors leading out to a patio.
The main entrance is at first- floor level where there is a handsome hall opening into a spacious drawingroom, a study and a guest bedroom with its own ensuite facilities. “This is ideal for a guest who snores too loudly,” says Diana Molohan of Colliers.
Much of the top floor is given over to a master bedroom suite which includes a fully fitted dressingroom and bathroom. There are two other bedrooms with ensuites on the same level.
Magorban House is approached through stone pillars along a winding avenue lined by lime trees. The house itself is surrounded by paddocks and gardens, ancient trees and herbaceous borders that mark out the lawns. It has a mature orchard with a good range of fruit trees. A nice feature is a delightful walkway through the woods and along a footbridge over a small stream that traverses the grounds.
At the rear of the house there is a newly constructed clock tower stable yard with three loose boxes, tack and feed rooms, double car port, work shed and toilet. A second yard has a three-span barn and a cattle holding pen.
