Skibbereen estate agent Charles McCarthy is about £450,000 for Geragh House, at Rossmore, Clonakilty, Co Cork, a stone-built Victorian house that has been fully refurbished into a comfortable four-bedroom home with superb reception rooms. The two-storey house is set in countryside about 5.5 miles from Clonakilty and is surrounded by gardens and a paddock. A courtyard behind the house faces south. The Gothic-style arched front door opens into a long hall that doubles as a main reception room. A solid oak staircase rises to the first floor, neatly dividing the hall into two distinct sitting areas, one of which is warmed by a gas stove.
Off the hall, the big dining room has a low, beamed ceiling and a large fireplace. Arched double doors open into a large conservatory with a pine ceiling to minimise the glare. There are three more reception rooms - a big living room with an open fireplace, a breakfast room and a study. The kitchen has an excellent range of cherry wood units, including an island with a solid beech worktop.
Upstairs, all four bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and the main bedroom suite includes a dressing area.
