DESCRIPTION The Residence A most attractive 18th century residence originally part of the Mount Congreve Estate occupying an elevated site overlooking the River Suir and with stunning views of Slievenamon. Originally dating from c.1740, it consists of a three-bay two-storey over part-raised basement house which was extended in c.1940 comprising a pair of single-bay infill bays to north-east and to the north-west. The house is light and airy and provides generous accommodation with access outside to the formal gardens and fence-railed paddocks. Another key feature is the direct water access which extends to approximately 860m of river frontage onto the River Suir, with its own highly sought-after fishing rights. The house is approached via a private entrance through electric gates from the local road R680, leading to a tree-lined driveway which passes a stone built stable yard and walled garden on the approach to the residence. Granite steps lead towards the front door which opens into an impressive hallway featuring a turning staircase and timber flooring. From here there is access to an impressive curved sitting room with feature fireplace and stunning views out over the river, the rolling countryside and Sleivenamon. Further accommodation on the ground floor is an office/study, drawing room, bar and storage hall, closets and entertaining utilities as well as a guest toilet. The feature staircase leads down to the lower ground floor and a connecting hallway that features a storage room and hot press. This leads to the access to either the kitchen, with oil fired Aga and hot press and to the adjacent dining room (or living room as it is now used). There is also easy access to the laundry room and additional bathroom. Off the dining room is an access hallway which leads out towards the terrace, a perfect space for entertaining guests. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and two shared bathrooms (Jack & Jill design). The master bedroom suite is spacious and again affords extensive views of Sleivenamon. The total floor area of the residence is c.3,261 sq. ft./c.303 sq. m. A self-contained annex is located to the eastern elevation of the house with a gated courtyard and comprises of an entrance hall/kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom and extends to about c.430 sq. ft./c.40 sq. m. Whilst requiring modernisation, this would be ideal for use as staff accommodation or for family and guests. Gardens A particular feature are the formal gardens, mature parkland and woodland surrounding the house.

In particular, and accessed from the rear garden, is a stepped walk flanked by water fountains down to the riverbank where one can enjoy the tranquility and excellent trout and salmon fishing on offer.
