Moys House in the Clarisford area, just off the R496 Killaloe Bypass, is located on approximately 2.35 acres of landscaped gardens and is just a short walk from Killaloe town.
Brought to the market by Sherry FitzGerald Talbot, the seven-bedroom residence extends to approximately 594 sqm and also includes a private gym.
Three bedrooms are located downstairs, with the remainder on the upper level. The master bedroom features a beam ceiling, an Italian-designed en-suite with walk-in shower, and a dressing room that leads via spiral staircase to a unique tower snug.
The elegant country home combines 'generous' proportions with bespoke finishes and private access via a large jetty to the River Shannon.
The interior of the house is finished with French and pitch pine flooring, vaulted beam ceilings, and Indian slate.
A gravel footpath weaves through the gardens and woodlands of the house, with the outdoor spaces complemented by decked terraces, a well-maintained vegetable garden and a mix of shrubbery.
The house itself opens with a split-level entrance that leads to a drawing room and dining room, both with solid pitch pine floor.
A kitchen and adjoining snug area form the 'heart of the home' on the ground level. The area is finished with oak-effect flooring and looks across the tennis court, landscaped grounds, and river beyond.
A Mediterranean-style courtyard is accessible via the kitchen and features terracotta tiles and ample space for dining al fresco.
Located off the master bedroom via a spiral staircase, the eye-catching tower snug retreat features eight windows to view the surrounding countryside, with the listing stating that the snug could be suitably used as a private painting studio or observatory.
The lower-ground level includes a spacious gym with several machines and weights as well as a swim in place pool. These facilities, combined with the tennis court, make the house an ideal choice for fitness enthusiasts.
The property itself is well located with easy access to Limerick city (17km) and Shannon Airport (44km). Another major draw is the house's easy access to other major towns and cities, including Nenagh (25km), Ennis (40km) and Galway city (60km).

I ditched renting & bought a 17-room Medieval mansion in Sicily for less than the price of a Honda – I save a fortune

HOME BARGAINS I ditched renting & bought a 17-room Medieval mansion in Sicily for less than the price of a Honda – I save a fortune BUYING a house may seem like an expensive goal - but one 28-year-old shared how she bought a 17-room Medieval mansion in Sicily for less than the price of a Honda. Adventurous Kiki Leigh snapped up the Italian home for just £22,800, (€27,000) – a fraction of the estimated £367,000 ($500,000) one closer to home would have cost. Advertisement 7 Kiki Leigh has opened up about buying a house in Italy for £22,800 Credit: 7 She is now renovating the 17-room Medieval mansion in Sicily Credit: 7 Kiki moved across the world to snap up the bargain house Credit: Jam Press/@ In a clip on her @ account, she shared how she has been renovating it ever since buying it last summer. Of course, for that price, the historic building needs a lot of work doing to it, and Kiki shared how she has had to gut some rooms so they can be used as bedrooms, a kitchen, library and a bathroom. She shared: '17 rooms. €27K. 4 months in. Not finished. Not even close. But the dream's starting to look like something real. 'First I was intrigued by the prices here. But I very quickly realised I was getting a whole lot more than a house. Advertisement 'The people I've met are friends for life, the food I eat is healthier, the lifestyle is more relaxed and peaceful, the weather is amazing. 'When I came here for the first time I got a feeling like I was always meant to find this place, a lot of my foreign born neighbors felt the same, this place is special to so many. 'You do not need citizenship. Almost anyone can purchase property in Italy, you don't need to be Italian or even a citizen of the EU. 'There's many homes in mussomeli for this price and even way cheaper.' Advertisement Depending on the region, a number of towns and villages across Italy have offered cheap properties to encourage people to move to the area. The conditions for buying each property also vary, but the majority of them need large renovation works. Kiki added: "I have an architect who is handling all the paperwork for me. I met him first and he only works with one construction company in town, so I didn't really have a choice but even if I had I wouldn't have chosen any differently. I'm so happy with their work. I've moved to hidden historic town where houses are the price of handbags & pints are cheaper than Tesco sandwiches 'I'm still working remotely in fashion pr, as I have on and off for about 8 years. Advertisement 'Once my house is done and I'm settled here I will be looking to transition out of that career and take on something new. 'Not sure exactly what that will be yet but I have a few ideas.' 7 Kiki says that buying this home was the only way she was going to get on the property ladder Credit: Jam Press/@ Despite involving a move across the world to a place she doesn't know a soul, Kiki is embracing the challenge full-heartedly, throwing herself into renovations. Advertisement Kiki, originally from Canada, who had been living in LA, shared how she had been fed up with how expensive life was, and then stumbled upon the tiny Italian town that was selling homes for bargain prices. Kiki says: 'I'd been living in LA for over a decade and the real estate market there is laughable. 'Even in Canada, prices have skyrocketed. You do not need citizenship. Almost anyone can purchase property in Italy, you don't need to be Italian or even a citizen of the EU Kiki Leigh 'I was working hard, doing well, but owning a home, let alone a dream home, always felt just out of reach. Advertisement 'I couldn't justify spending half a million dollars on something that didn't feel special. 'Then I realised that for a fraction of that I could own a literal piece of history. 'The math just started to make sense in a way that North America never did.' 7 The house will need a lot of work but it will still cost her far less than buying in the US Credit: Jam Press/@ Advertisement At some points she was paying £1,830, ($2,500), a month for a one-bedroom apartment. She explains: 'That didn't include parking or peace of mind. 'Nor with castle views and cobblestone charm. 'Rent felt like a monthly punishment for staying somewhere I wasn't thriving. Advertisement 'It wasn't sustainable long-term, financially or emotionally.' The people I've met are friends for life, the food I eat is healthier, the lifestyle is more relaxed and peaceful, the weather is amazing Kiki Leigh So far she has spent £42,185 (€50,000) on renovations to the 600-year-old pad. She says: 'This is a historic home, the kind of place that reveals new surprises behind every wall. 'To me, this isn't just a house, it's an experience, an art project, a home base for my future, and a way to live life a little differently. Advertisement 'So I'm more than happy with the investment. 'I'm building a spa with a jacuzzi and sauna, and full bar, because if you're going to bring a home back to life, why not make it a little magical?' 7 Her property boasts incredible views over the town Credit: Jam Press/@ Kiki estimates that the total will land somewhere around £101,250 – £118,140, (€120,000 – €140,000). Advertisement She adds: 'I want it to feel like the ultimate home for peace and tranquillity. 'A place where I can bring all my loved ones together and experience something special and rare. 'It is the kind of place that feeds your soul and makes you feel at home the second you walk inside. 'I'm also building a library as an homage to the home's previous owner, a Sicilian scholar and professor. Advertisement 'It felt only right to preserve that legacy and create a space where books, ideas, and conversation are front and centre.' Kiki now splits her time between Sicily, LA and Canada while renovations continue, but she is almost ready to move in full-time. She estimates it'll save her around £2,200, ($3,000 a month) once renovations are finished. She says: 'Rent alone is already eliminated. Advertisement 'Groceries, utilities, dining out, everything is more affordable here.' 7 She has never felt more happy and healthy since making the big move Credit: Jam Press/@ And she's not wrong, according to local prices you can expect to pay around £3.40 for a pint, less than most supermarket sandwiches. She got the keys to her new home in January, started renovating in March and is moving in next month to do the finishing touches. Advertisement Kiki, originally from Winnipeg, Canada, says: 'You don't need a five-year plan, a perfect timeline, or anyone's permission to build a life that feels good. 'I bought an old, crumbling house in a tiny Sicilian town with no real plan beyond: this feels right. 'And it's led to more freedom, joy, and community than I could have imagined. 'The life I've built here feels amazing.' Advertisement

‘Unlimited stay' cruise that people can retire on for £260k launches – with unlimited food, drink & travel all included

Find out which other yachts are making a splash this year SET SAIL 'Unlimited stay' cruise that people can retire on for £260k launches – with unlimited food, drink & travel all included THE 'unlimited stay' cruise that people can retire on for £260,000 has launched, offering unlimited food, drink and travel all included in the price tag. The VanDutch 75 is being dubbed one of the sleekest vessels on the water and it's not hard to see why. Advertisement 6 The VanDutch 75 has officially launched Credit: JamPress 6 The luxury cruise offers unlimited food, drinks and travel Credit: JamPress With razor-sharp lines, minimalist interiors and a silhouette that wouldn't look out of place in a sci-fi film, the brand-new luxury yacht is officially turning heads. Made for high-speed cruising, the 75-foot beast is powered by twin 1,800hp engines that help it glide through the sea at a rapid 40 knots, which is over 45mph, in case you're wondering. But it's not just what's under the hood that's getting people talking, the interior is just as impressive. We're talking penthouse-on-water vibes, with open-plan living space, Italian-inspired interiors and designer fittings from bow to stern. Advertisement Inside, there's a full-beam master suite, two additional guest cabins, and separate crew quarters that sleep two. The below-deck setup includes ambient lighting, custom cabinetry and a fully kitted-out kitchen, or "galley", if you're feeling nautical. Inside Brooklyn Beckham's 'financial flex' in feud with dad David as his £85m superyacht dwarfs family's £16m vessel And this isn't just for sunbathing and sipping rosé. There's a navigation station, a pop-up TV, and a high-end sound system, so you can cruise in full-blown party mode or total peace and quiet. The brand calls it 'a natural evolution of the VanDutch DNA', but we'd call it a floating bachelor pad with Bond-level energy. Advertisement Prices for the VanDutch 75 are firmly in seven-figure territory, depending on your chosen setup, but if you've got the cash, it's one hell of a way to sail into retirement. When can I retire? IF you're wondering when you can retire, it's best to speak to your pension providers. Firstly, use the government's tool to check your state pension age. Next check retirement ages on workplace pension schemes - this can massively impact your windfall once you enter your golden years. For advice, you can contact The Pensions Advisory Service for free online or on 0800 011 3797. Luxury yachts And it's not the only mega-yacht making headlines this season. The 390ft superyacht Breakthrough, rumoured to belong to billionaire Bill Gates, is also set to make its grand debut at the Monaco Yacht Show this September. The £476million ship has been billed as the first-ever hydrogen-powered yacht, and comes with jaw-dropping features including a cinema, basketball court, hospital, two offices, and enough staterooms to house an entire football team. Advertisement If Gates really is behind it, he's got competition from Brooklyn Beckham, who was recently spotted sailing into Saint-Tropez aboard his billionaire in-laws' 80-metre yacht, Project X, worth a cool £85million. Meanwhile, his dad David Beckham was moored nearby on his own £16million vessel Seven, which looks like a dinghy by comparison. From sci-fi style yachts to floating mansions with four-storey townhouses tucked inside, it's clear 2025 is the year of the mega boat flex. And with VanDutch leading the charge in design, tech and speed, it might just be time to trade your retirement home for a vessel spot.

I'm a single mum-of-7 to kids aged 1 to 16 – my ‘no spend' summer holiday days are made so much easier with a £5 B&M buy

Scroll down for the full list of places where kids can eat free this summer NO KIDDING I'm a single mum-of-7 to kids aged 1 to 16 – my 'no spend' summer holiday days are made so much easier with a £5 B&M buy A SINGLE mum-of-seven who is aiming to spend no money on some days during the school summer holidays, has revealed the £5 B&M buy that keeps her kids entertained for hours. Amy, who has children aged between one and 16, took to TikTok to share how she is able to keep her kids busy for a whole day without spending any money. Advertisement 2 Amy is a single mum of seven Credit: TikTok/@singlewithseven 2 Her kids love playing with water blaster backpacks from B&M Credit: TikTok/@singlewithseven The single mum revealed that her bumper brood were "fighting like mad" during the morning of her no-spend day, so she got the little ones up and out of the house by half past 8. "We went for a walk for about an hour and a half and left the teenagers in bed", she said. After returning home, the younger kids played with kinetic sand for half an hour, before the family had lunch. After lunch, Amy took her younger ones out for another walk and her daughters decided to take their B&M Water Blaster backpacks with them. Advertisement The nifty backpacks have water guns attached to them, so kids can have water fights whilst out and about. Amy said she got her kids' pink mermaid backpacks for £5 from the budget store, but online it currently looks like they are only selling Marvel water backpacks, priced at £8.99. Unfortunately, one of Amy's younger daughters was too small for the backpack, but she was happy carrying around a little spray bottle. During their walk, the kids also went to the park, and on a hunt for blackberries to pick. Advertisement They managed to find a whole bush full of ripe berries, took them home and then gave them a good wash, before making a fruit crumble. The kids were happy and entertained for the entire day, and Amy didn't have to spend a single penny. I bought two splash pads from Temu and TikTok shop for £9.99 for my kids to compare - one of them is HUGE for the price The video, posted under the username @singlewithseven, has likely left many impressed, as it has racked up over 24,000 views on the video-sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video sharing platform, to share how impressed they were with Amy's no spend day. Advertisement One person said: "Aw I love this!
