A secluded five-bedroom country house, Clarbeg in Roundwood, Co Wicklow - with guest cottage and three acres of gardens and paddock - has a price tag over £700,000 (888,820) through Jackson Stops' Dublin office. The house was last on the market just over a year ago when it sold for in excess of the present guide price.

The house is likely to appeal to someone with a professional interest in horses. A purpose-built equestrian centre adjacent to the house has an American barn with 14 loose boxes, a tack room, haystore, canteen and outbuildings.

The house is believed at one time to have been an 18th century sporting lodge. The house has been greatly extended over the years to suit its various owners. Accommodation includes a 33ft sittingroom with a majestic cathedral ceiling, wrap-around sunroom and a big country kitchen.

As well as the separate guest cottage, the main house has a guest wing which is totally self contained, with its own front door. Outside there are fine mountain and sea views from luxuriantly planted gardens.
