Pick up this country pile next door to Europe's top resort hotel
Built in 1906 as a rectory for the Ballyfin Demesne church and originally known as The Vicarage, Rosnashane House is a charming detached red-brick with just over 7.5 acres of land that includes mature landscaped gardens, a coach house, stables and paddocks, and even a tennis court. The house is packed with Edwardian features, including canted bay windows with gables above them at the front and the side, cast iron downpipes, and a tiled open porch leading to the front door and, on the inside, fine plasterwork, fireplaces, window shutters and a gorgeous timber staircase. Its 192 sq m of accommodation includes two nicely proportioned and dual-aspect reception rooms, each with a bay window and a fireplace. The kitchen has duck egg blue-painted cabinetry with integrated appliances and, like most of the larger rooms in this house, is dual aspect — in this case a pair of sash windows overlook the front garden with a third facing a courtyard at the side.
