Castle House in Killea, Co. Tipperary, features a unique 16th century tower incorporated into the fabric of a modern home.
The property is relatively secluded but is located within walking distance of the picturesque town of Templemore.
It has been a 30-year restoration project for its current owners and is available for a cut-price valuation of just €350,000 (£305,000).
The property features 7.27 acres of land. Picture: Daft.ieCastle House, overlooked by the Devil’s Bit Mountain, was once operated as a small guest house for travellers along the road.
