Anner Park House Clonmel: History, Price and Address (2025 Guide)

If you’ve ever driven the old N24 east out of Clonmel and wondered about the faded Georgian house tucked behind hedgerows near Twomilebridge, you’re not alone. Anner Park House is one of those properties that leaves more questions than answers—a 200-year-old residence with flour-mill origins, a confusing name twin, and a surprising sale in its recent past. Here’s what the records actually tell us about this Tipperary landmark.

Year built: c. 1820 ·
Architectural style: Georgian (three-bay two-storey over basement) ·
Location: Twomilebridge, Co. Tipperary ·
Historical use: Residence and flour mills

Six key details, one pattern: the official record is thinner than you’d expect for a house this old.

What is the history of Anner Park House, Clonmel?

Early construction and design

• The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (Ireland’s official heritage survey) describes Anner Park as a “detached three-bay two-storey over basement house, built c.1820.” The façade is symmetrical, with a central door and evenly spaced windows — a classic rural Georgian form that was popular among the Irish gentry of the period.
• The architect remains unknown, which is common for minor country houses of this era. No family papers or estate records have been digitised, leaving the builder’s identity an open question.

Mill operations on the Anner River

• Long before the house stood, the Anner River powered a cluster of flour mills. Irish Waterways History (a specialist inland-waterways research site) notes that Joseph Grubb built Anner Mill in 1765, and a second mill followed upstream at Redmondstown a decade later. By the 1840s, the mills had been replaced by “Anner House” near the mouth of the river — though that may refer to a different structure on the same estate.
• The same source records that at the peak of Clonmel’s milling industry there were 23 mills in and around the town, sending large quantities of flour down the River Suir to Dublin.

The confusion with Newtown Anner House

• A separate estate, Newtown Anner House, often gets mixed up with Anner Park. Tipperary Libraries (the county’s official cultural heritage service) records that Newtown Anner was built between 1825 and 1830 for the Osborne baronets, a prominent Anglo-Irish family. The house was completed in 1829, according to the same source.
• The Osborne family had previously lived at Tikincor Castle on the other side of the River Suir. In 1774 the corporation of Clonmel made a fee-farm grant of 23 acres at Newtown Anner to Sir William Osborne, the 8th Baronet (Tipperary Libraries).
• Later, Grace Osborne married the 10th Duke of Saint Albans in 1874, tying the estate to the British peerage. The house remained in the Saint Albans line until the mid-20th century, when it was sold. Today it is privately owned by Nigel Cathcart, who is restoring the property (Tipperary Libraries).

What is the price and availability of Anner Park House?

Recent sale records

• The most frequently cited transaction is a 2011 sale recorded on the Ireland Property Price Register at €203,000 — though the property name appears as “Anner House,” not Anner Park. Without a link to a specific Eircode or folio number, it’s difficult to confirm whether the buyer acquired the same building described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage. The research base for this article includes no verifiable URL for that entry, so we treat the figure as reportedly €203,000.
• A separate listing on Daft.ie reportedly showed Anner House, Clonmel, as sold for €541,000 (Daft.ie (Ireland’s largest property platform) — the specific listing page is no longer accessible). That price discrepancy — two different amounts for what may be the same property — suggests that multiple “Anner” properties exist in the area and that buyers and sellers should verify exact addresses before drawing conclusions.

Current market situation

• As of 2025, no active for-sale listing for “Anner Park House” appears on any of Ireland’s three major property portals (Daft.ie, MyHome.ie, Property.ie). If the property changed hands privately, the transaction would not appear on public registers unless a mortgage or deed was filed.
• The local Clonmel property market has risen steadily since 2011, with average house prices in County Tipperary increasing by roughly 70–80% over that period, according to Central Statistics Office data. If Anner Park sold for €203,000 in 2011, a comparable valuation today might fall in the €340,000–€370,000 range — but that is rough estimation, not an appraisal.

Where is Anner Park House located?

Street address and directions

• Buildings of Ireland (the state’s official heritage database) gives the location as Twomilebridge, Tipperary South — a rural area about 3 km east of Clonmel town centre along the old N24 road. The approximate coordinates are 52.3537, -7.6792.
• The house is set back from the road among agricultural fields, with scattered residential properties nearby. There is no public access or signage; it is private property.

Nearby landmarks

• The River Suir runs about 1 km south of the site. The Anner River, which once powered the flour mills, flows into the Suir near the estate. The old N24 — now a regional road — connects Twomilebridge directly to Clonmel’s eastern suburbs.
• Other historic properties within a few kilometres include Newtown Anner House (the Osborne estate), the ruins of Tikincor Castle, and the medieval town walls of Clonmel itself.

What this means for visitors: without public access, the building is best appreciated from the roadside — and from heritage records.

Frequently asked questions

For anyone tracking Ireland’s lesser-known historic houses, Anner Park is a reminder that the online record can be thin — and sometimes contradictory. The best next step? A trip to Tipperary Studies in Clonmel library, where 19th-century estate papers and Ordnance Survey maps might hold the details search engines miss. For prospective buyers, the implication is clear: verify the address with a solicitor before bidding, or risk buying a name that doesn’t match the building.
