The house itself is a unique property situated in a peaceful, elevated and mature setting, just 5 minutes walk from Roscrea town centre.

Built in 1975 the house floor area extends to approx.. 163 sq. mts/1754 sq. ft. The stone elevations and arched veranda give it a commanding and distinguished look. Surrounded by a half acre of gardens which were carefully and lovingly planned as well as being well cared for over the years. A cobbled driveway flanked by long established Laburnum trees on each side leads to the front stand with lawns, well-established shrubbery & a variety of plants. Other mature trees and a shrubbery line the sides of the property and lead to the back lawn and trees that surround the house. There is so much already in place that would take a lifetime to create. The current accommodation comprises; Ground floor - entrance hallway, a large sitting room & dining room, a living room, a kitchen which includes a comfortable dining area overlooking the back garden, a utility room, and a useful ground floor shower room. There is also an external boiler room and an integrated carport adjoins the house, with covered parking and direct access from the house for two large cars. First floor level - five large bedrooms, a family bathroom with hotpress and a separate WC. Some of the bedrooms could easily be converted to en suite bedrooms, if five bedrooms are not required.
