Located near Adare in Co Limerick, Caherass Court is an unusual development of refurbished stone houses which go on the market this week with prices starting at £195,000. Formerly the stabling and coaching yard of the Caherass Estate, the one and two-storey houses have been built to a high specification in a tranquil, landscaped setting beside the river Maigue.

On sale through joint agents Gunne and William Fitt & Co, the houses range in size from 891 sq ft to a very substantial 5,325 sq ft. Three similar houses, with layouts of between 2,056 and 2,683 sq ft, are priced from £295,000 to £380,000, while the largest house, called The Coach Yard, is priced at £500,000-plus. The courtyard is set on a quiet no-through road, with river frontage and about half a mile of private fishing. Residents will share an all weather tennis court together with a landscaped garden with summerhouse and barbecue area.
