Description
Hume Auctioneers – We Get The Pick Of The Crop This most attractive four-bedroom bungalow enjoys a superb location close to schools, motorway and train station and is set on a stunning 1/3 Acre site with spectacular views across the surrounding countryside. Recently completely refurbished, the interior of this charming residence is both welcoming and well laid out, offering bright, comfortable living spaces with excellent proportions throughout. On entering, a long central hallway provides access to all accommodation and is finished with attractive timber flooring, which continues seamlessly through much of the home. To the front, the living room is a relaxing and spacious area, featuring a solid fuel stove set within a fireplace surround, creating a warm focal point for everyday living. To the rear of the property lies the standout feature – an exceptionally large open-plan kitchen/dining space. This impressive room is flooded with natural light and fitted with a stunning modern kitchen complete with ample wall and floor units, quality worktops and a central island with breakfast seating. The generous proportions make this an ideal space for family living and entertaining alike, while the integrated appliances and solid fuel stove adds further charm and comfort. The bedroom accommodation is generously proportioned and thoughtfully laid out, offering excellent flexibility for family living. Each of the four bedrooms is bright and comfortable, enjoying good natural light and a pleasant outlook. The rooms are finished in a mix of neutral and contemporary tones, with a combination of carpet and timber-style flooring, making them perfect for family living. The main bathroom has been recently upgraded and is finished to a modern standard, featuring full-height tiling, a walk-in shower enclosure, contemporary sanitary ware and a heated towel rail. In addition, there is a separate WC, adding further convenience for family use and visiting guests. Outside there is a massive garage and a second large shed, both of which could serve a multitude of uses. But perhaps the most alluring feature of this attractive family home are the stunning and uninterrupted views across the vast and beautiful countryside stretching all the way to the Sliabh Bloom Mountains. The sunsets here are truly spectacular and with an attractive pergola area, how better to spend your evenings. Nearby Killadooley and Killasmeestia offer an exceptional community feeling with a highly regarded National School, community centre, church, Creche and sports clubs.
