This spacious, elegant six bedroomed farmhouse enjoys views of the surrounding countryside and has been stylishly improved and presented by the current owners who have created a home full of warmth, peace and the ease of family living. The house nestles beautifully in its plot in this lovely rural idyll and has spacious light-filled accommodation, a wonderful mature garden of 1 acre and plenty of parking.
The property offers versatile accommodation with potential and has the added attraction of a self-contained contemporary 2-bedroom lodge which could generate a constant revenue throughout the year or could provide staff accommodation or a granny flat.
The house was built approximately 90 years ago of cut stone and has been extended twice. The house features double glazing throughout, oil-fired central heating and one of the reception rooms has a wood burning stove and an open fireplace for cozy winter nights.
The entrance hall leads to a warm and welcoming kitchen/dining room which is ideal for the family to enjoy a home cooked meal or to entertain guests. The large kitchen window frames the fabulous grounds and the famous Caha mountain range forms a spectacular backdrop to the gardens. The country chic style kitchen is fully fitted with cream cabinets and a Stanley range cooker beautifully ties this modern kitchen to the rustic setting of the home.
The ground floor has two large reception rooms and a downstairs ensuite double bedroom with a shower. There is also a washroom on the ground floor and a spacious utility room.
The first floor has five spacious double bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The Lodge is self-contained and is presented in a contemporary style with spacious light filled rooms. The main living space is open plan comprising a kitchen/dining/sitting room with two bedrooms and one bathroom off.
A particularly wonderful feature are the gardens which surround the property, which have been designed to embrace the surrounding countryside and wildlife. A large green house is tucked away at the back of the gardens and provides opportunity for self- sufficiency. A hen house and run also feature at the back of the garden. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature planting and well-established trees. Included is a grove of mature native trees, apple and pear trees and flowering plants.
