Built four years ago, St O'Hara's, a six-bedroom house in Cloonagh, three miles from Tullamore town centre in Co Offaly, is for sale by private treaty for £275,000. The selling agent is W J Keegan Property Partners.

Situated opposite the 18-hole Parkland golf course, making it ideal as a B & B or holiday home, the house is spacious, with 2,700 sq ft of living space.

There are three generous reception rooms including a sittingroom, living/diningroom and a kitchen/breakfastroom. Five of the six bedrooms have en suite bath or shower rooms. Seasoned pine is one of the hallmarks of this house. The hexagonal hall has pine flooring, pine doors and a pine stairway leading to the upper floors.

Other features include recessed shelving and stained glass double doors leading to the sittingroom, which has a cast-iron fireplace and a bay window. The kitchen/breakfastroom departs from the pine theme with quarry floor tiles and a redbrick alcove with an oak-beamed ceiling which demarcates the breakfast area.
