Sauna, tennis and riding to hounds from period rectory

Co Tipperary/€1.3m: A refurbished five-bedroom Georgian house on five acres near Cashel in Co Tipperary combines period features with modern comforts - and comes with a guest cottage, a stone-fronted sauna house and a walled tennis court.

The Rectory, Donohill, Cappawhite, Co Tipperary is for sale by private treaty through Ganly Walters for €1.3 million. Built in 1857, it has been renovated over the past 10 years - but features like sash windows with working shutters, centre roses and period fireplaces remain.

Stone pillars and electronic gates open into a driveway leading up to the 337sq m (3,630sq ft) house. Accommodation includes a drawingroom, diningroom, and a country kitchen with an Aga and a granite worktop, and five double bedrooms upstairs.

The 111sq m (1,200sq ft) guest cottage has also been refurbished: it has three bedrooms and a kitchen and sittingroom, both with flagstone floors. The main house and guest house sit on three acres of lawns and gardens; there is a separate two acres of paddocks.

The Rectory is 11 miles from Cashel and eight miles from Tipperary town. The Tipperary and Scarteen Hunt are nearby and there is fishing six miles away on the River Suir.
