Description

Sherry FitzGerald are delighted to introduce to the market Jackson's Turret, Clancy Strand. This is a rare and remarkable opportunity to acquire one of Limerick's most iconic and historic properties, Jackson's Turret, dating back to the 18th Century. Originally built as a lookout for the River Shannon Custom House, now known as The Hunt Museum, Jackson's Turret has been meticulously preserved and transformed into a charming family home. It offers the perfect blend of historical elegance and modern comfort. Steeped in history, Jackson's Turret serves as a living testament to Limerick's rich heritage. The property retains many of its original features, including a timeless original staircase, beautifully preserved timber windows, high celling's, cornicing, picture rails and striking stone archways. Each of these features adds to the character and authenticity of the home, allowing for a unique glimpse into its storied past while still providing all the comforts of contemporary living. Located off Clancy's Strand adjacent to some of the city's landmark hotels, bridges, and walkways. This highly prized residential setting offers exceptional amenities and is ideally located within a stone's throw of a superb selection of primary and secondary schools, including JFK, Salesians, Ardscoil Rís and Villiers. Limerick Lawn Tennis Club and Thomond Park are just moments from your door, with a host of award-winning hotels, cafes & restaurants all within walking distance and superb riverside walks including 'Limericks Three Bridges Walking route'. For those commuting further afield, the Condell Road is immediately accessible, linking you to all major road networks within minutes. Set back from the road and approached via electric gates, Jackson's Turret offers privacy and seclusion in the heart of the city. The property provides an unparalleled vantage point over Limerick City and the River Shannon, with views stretching across to the historic King John's Castle. The old stone walls surrounding the property create a peaceful retreat, ensuring that the tranquility of the surroundings complements the home's historic charm. The property has been thoughtfully extended to the rear, enhancing the living space while seamlessly blending with the original structure. This extension ensures ample room for modern family needs without compromising the historic character of the building. The spacious interior includes three reception rooms, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, and two bathrooms, in addition to three generously sized double bedrooms on the first floor. Each room exudes character and warmth, making the property an ideal home for family life. Externally, the property features a large, gravelled courtyard at the front with a bed planted with trees and shrubs. On the opposite side of the house is a triangle- shaped walled garden enclosed by high stone walls and accessed from an archway at the rear. Off the main courtyard, an archway leads to a small courtyard with an outbuilding — an area where it seems likely that horses would once have been kept. Lovingly maintained by its current owners, Jackson's Turret presents a rare chance to own a piece of Limerick's architectural history. Whether sought as a family home or a heritage investment, this property is truly one-of-a-kind.
