Houses in Ireland Lose Millions
It has now been reduced in price from EUR 2.3 million to EUR 1,175,000, also a cut of nearly 50 per cent. Kilfane Glebe is a former rectory owned by Hughie O’Donoghue which has been extensively refurbished. It is being sold by joint agents Savills and Boyd Real Estate Alliance.
Meanwhile Boswell House, a horsey property on 36 acres in Ashford, Co Wicklow, which went on for competition to win a house in the market in June 2008, has been cut from EUR 3.8 million down to EUR 2.95 million. A courtyard links the house to a large art studio in restored and extended stables. Thereis also a one-bedroom stone cottage in the courtyard with a kitchen and livingroom.
The property, for sale through Knight Frank, consists of a heavily renovated Georgian farmhouse which comes with UPVC Sash Windows, equestrian facilities, and three apartments and a separate studio apartment.
The Georgian house, a former Church of Ireland rectory, was built in 1807. Accommodation in the 464sq m (4,994sq ft) main house includes four reception rooms and five bedrooms. A Clive Nunn kitchen has ceramic chequer-tiled floors, limestone worktops and a Belfast sink.
Some vendors putting their property up for sale for the first time are agreeing to pitch it at realistic prices.
