Gorey: €590,000 Doreen Keogh, better known as Rovers Return barmaid Concepta, is selling her pretty farmhouse near Gorey, an ivy-clad house which she restored with the kind of star quality you would expect from the popular Coronation Street actor.
Readers will also remember Keogh in her many stage roles and in Ballykissangel, Fair City, Cold Feet and the Royle Family.
Warren Estates is quoting €590,000 by private treaty for Mallow Farm, a three-bedroom house on 2.5 acres of beautifully kept gardens at Annagh Hill, seven miles from the Co Wexford town of Gorey.
Time and energy was spent over the past six years to restore the 130sq m (1,400sq ft) 200-year-old farmhouse, creating a comfortable home with buckets of old-world charm.
There is a blue-painted kitchen with an oil-fired Rayburn, a pretty lime-green sittingroom with a polished wood floor and a conservatory with bog oak doors.
The fully-tiled bathroom includes linen cupboards. Three upstairs bedrooms are all doubles with wardrobes and there is a toilet off the landing.
The gardens are colourfully planted, with a pond, railed paddock, secret garden with a bridge over a stream, waterfall and sheltered patio. There is a stable for a horse and stone outbuildings which have a range of possibilities.
