Property Description:
Leix Manor presents a unique opportunity for discerningpurchasers to acquire an extraordinary property with
outstanding attributes. This magnificent home combines
the solid construction and classical architecture of a bygone
era with all the comfort and convenience of 21st century
living. The breathtaking architecture, period ceiling heights,
quality fittings and finishes, as well as state-of-the-art
lighting, heating, entertainment and security
technologies, all combine to place this home in a class of
it's own.
Add to this level of build quality and design the fact that it
overlooks a Championship Golf Course, within the gates of
one of Ireland's premier five-star resorts, and you know we
are talking about something very special.
On-course living at the Heritage means the benefit of an
immensely attractive, private and secure environment.
Stunning views stretch from the picturesque second
fairway, with its lake and meandering stream, right across
the entire golf course, with the backdrop provided by the
Slieve Bloom mountains. Extraordinary privacy and
security is assured by manned security at the resort gates
and access to Leix Manor is via a further set of automated gates.
This is privacy and security without isolation, as the resort
is set in the charming village of Killenard, with its
convenience store, Irish pub, community centre, crèche,
school and churches, giving the Heritage a warmth and a
sense of community which many resorts do not have.
In addition to all a five-star facility has to offer there is also
a world of activity to enjoy in the locality, with
picturesque towns and historical sites, the aforementioned
Slieve Blooms, and all they have to offer, as well as fishing,
horseracing, excellent shopping, antiques galleries to
browse, and the wonderful amenity of the nearby country
estate at Emo, with it's house, lake and parklands.
It is at this country estate that we discover the inspiration
behind Leix Manor, Emo Court, which is one of Ireland's
finest and most important houses.
Leix Manor echoes Emo Court's formal classical symmetry
evoking a similar sense of grandeur by drawing on the
same elements of Greek and Roman classical architecture.
This stunning neoclassicism continues through to the
interior, which delivers in some style on the sense of
anticipation created by Leix Manor's magnificent imposing
façade.
The neoclassical theme continues
through the interior at Leix Manor in
breathtaking style, borne out by the
interior architecture and materials used
and typified by the classical attributes of
elegance, harmony, symmetry, space and
light.
At 7,000 square feet, this home is
extremely spacious. The large grand
entrance hall, with its Italian stone floor
with black tozzetos, period-style door
pediments and fine marble chimneypiece,
is flooded with light by the glass
atrium above.
Two beautifully proportioned reception
rooms, again with fine marble chimneypieces
in both, are symmetrically placed
left and right of this hall. A double height,
state-of-the-art, hand-crafted and handpainted
kitchen, creates a practical but
very stylish family kitchen, which
seamlessly flows through to the dining
and breakfast rooms.
One of the five bedrooms forms an
ensuite guestroom on this level also,
complete with a walk-in closet and
powder room.
Back in the grand hall, the majestic
central staircase rises to the galleried
landing, off which are the three remaining
double bedrooms, and the master suite,
with its walk-in closet, powder room,
master bath and steam room. The
master bedroom suite is further enhanced
by a beautiful private balcony. The firstfloor
study, complete with fine marble
chimneypiece, also has access to a
separate private balcony, to the front of
the house. Back on the landing, access
to the roof-top terrace is by the
exceptional feature of an elevator, which
runs right up through the house from
ground floor level.
At this level of design, the devil is in the
details and attention to detail is an
understatement at The Heritage. In Leix
Manor, every facet has been carefully
considered, from the period stucco work
in the reception rooms and entrance hall,
to the high skirting boards, moulded
architraves and coved ceilings.
In short, this remarkable
neoclassical-style property, truly
offers a rare opportunity to own an
exceptional home.
