  • Broadband Accessibility: Offers both Wireless Connect and National Broadband Ireland availability, ensuring modern remote working capabilities in a rural setting.

But keep in mind:

  • Exempt BER Status: Being a protected structure, the property is exempt from a Building Energy Rating certificate, meaning buyers should commission an independent energy audit to understand thermal performance.
  • Protected Structure Restrictions: Listing as a historic period residence may impose strict local authority planning constraints on future alterations, renovations, or extensions.
  • Private Drainage System: Features an on-site sewerage treatment system requiring a professional inspection to verify compliance with current environmental regulations and operational condition.
  • Historic Maintenance Costs: A structure dating back to 1750 will likely demand higher ongoing maintenance and specialized conservation building skills to preserve its fabric.
  • Remote Rural Location: Situated in a peaceful rural setting which means reliance on a car is absolute for accessing schools, shops, and professional services.
  • Age-Related Structural Risks: Older properties can hide latent defects such as timber rot, dampness, or outdated hidden wiring that necessitate a thorough structural survey.
  • Coach House Conversion Age: The coach house was converted around 2000, meaning plumbing, electrical, and heating installations in that unit may soon require updating.
  • Oil Heating Dependency: The property relies on oil-fired central heating, which can expose the homeowner to volatile fuel price fluctuations during winter months.
  • Commuting Distance: Nenagh is 25 kilometers away and Limerick is 65 kilometers away, resulting in potentially lengthy daily commutes for office workers.
  • Airport Travel Time: Shannon Airport is roughly an hour's drive away, which might be a drawback for frequent international business travelers.
  • Upkeep of Grounds: Managing nearly ten acres of paddocks, mature trees, and a walled garden requires significant time and ongoing landscaping investment.
  • Unspecified Floor Area Details: The exact floor area breakdown per room in the main house is limited in listing data, requiring careful verification on-site.
  • Conservation Window Compliance: Original windows in a period home can be drafty and expensive to repair or replace under strict conservation guidelines.
  • Aga Fuel Consumption: Relying on an Aga for kitchen warmth can result in continuous energy use and elevated utility bills during warmer months.
  • Outbuilding Condition: While useful for storage, the outbuildings should be inspected for damp, roof integrity, and security before storing valuable equipment.
  • Water Quality Verification: Because the property uses a mains water connection in a rural area, buyers should test water pressure and quality independently.
  • Boundary Line Verification: With nearly ten acres of rural land, buyers must verify exact folio boundaries and fencing conditions with legal counsel.
  • Broadband Speed Variability: Although National Broadband Ireland is listed as available, actual speeds should be tested to ensure they meet professional remote-working standards.
  • Limited Public Transport: The rural Aglish location lacks robust public transport links, making secondary transport arrangements necessary for household members.
  • Future Heritage Compliance: Any required repairs to lime plaster, stone masonry, or historic roofing materials will demand costly specialist tradespeople.
