Description

New Quay Real Estate is very excited to bring to the market this gorgeous quintessential country cottage amid breath-taking pristine countryside with spectacular panoramic views in a coveted location where properties rarely come to the market. To say that this is a fantastic location is a serious understatement. From an elevated position the property sits on the edge of a blanket vista of lakes, castles, lush forestry and woodlands stretching all the way to the Burren Mountains on the horizon, yet is just minutes from all amenities. The beautiful residence oozes with charm and is presented in superb condition ready for occupation. There is a genuine sense of serenity and calmness while moving throughout the property which has been described as a ‘very healing place’. A bright and spacious sitting room with an abundance of natural light affords ample space for seating, storage and entertainment. The focal point is an original open fireplace with beautiful arch, hob seat and vintage cast iron pot crane over sandstone brick backing and teal surround. A Jotul F 3 classic design wood burning stove with its large glass door adds to the already wonderful ambiance. A sizeable master bedroom affords plenty of space for the large double bed, storage and vanity and enjoys fantastic views and spectacular sunsets over woodlands to Lough Cutra Castle with the ancient Burren peaks beyond. The second bedroom with its feature intricate cast iron fireplace is tastefully finished in neutral colours and while configured as a single can easily accommodate a double. The property also benefits from an additional sleeping area which could be used as a third bedroom, for over-night guests or as a surplus living space or office. The tasteful country cottage style continues in the kitchen with Belfast sink, butcher block countertops and ceramic tiled floor. Solid wood cabinets provide copious storage options with recessed spot lighting complimenting the space. The family bathroom incorporates mosaic feature tiling and accommodates the usual ceramicware along with a large shower area which would have originally housed a full bath the reinstatement of which would be straightforward should it so be desired. Throughout the property you’ll find sweet little touches that add to the charm of this adorable home. Ranch style entrance gates and front boundary fence in dark oak compliment the tasteful presentation. Beautiful climbing roses adorn the front porch and entrance. A dwarf picket fence retains an array of vibrant flowers with the vintage cast iron feature ‘Wheat Sheaf Cottage’ name plate above. A handmade Swiss style panelled enclosure surrounds the oil boiler to dramatic effect and the sun trap seating area presents with milk churn and vintage wheels finished in bright red. The exterior also enjoys multiple facets that all lend themselves to a higher standard of living and quality of life. Having microbe rich soil due to zero pesticide use and its own private well with brand new filtration system those who want to optimise healthier living will be in their element. A substantial south-facing lawn is primed for organic food production with the boundaries already producing wild berries and edibles. A mix of Spruce, Cedar, Lyme, Twisted Hazel, Lilac along with numerous other varieties line the boundaries. The wastewater treatment tank is a large three chamber system which has far more capacity than the property needs. In fact, given its size and location on the site it should more than allow for any expansion or extension to the property without the need for replacement SPP. External storage comes in the form of a substantial box container, a quartz-built stone shed laden with firewood and an as yet unfinished workshop which presents a handy project for the DIYer in the family. The property when it comes to box checking hits the ‘sweet spot’ on multiple levels. Its location on a quiet country cul-de-sac means increased security, no through traffic or noise pollution and very safe for children and the elderly. The property is surrounded by vast unspoiled landscape yet does not feel isolated. The area is a micro community with decent and caring people of exceptional character who both look out for each other yet value and respect privacy. The layout of the site allows for optimal expansion SPP given the aspect and location of ground services. All amenities and the M18 interchange are available in the town of Gort hosting numerous businesses and services including bus and rail services to Galway and Limerick, Bank of Ireland, AIB, Gort Credit Union, Supervalu, Aldi & Lidl, a cathedral, Gaeltacht, primary and secondary schools, community centres, doctor’s surgeries, dentists, hotels, bars, award winning eateries, leisure clubs along with numerous sporting clubs all just a few minutes’ drive from the property. Natural gems for lovers of the outdoors such as Ballinakill Lake swimming and fishing, Lough Cutra Lake with its beach and picnic area, Lough Graney with its Whitestrand beach, fishing stand and picnic areas and Knocknageeha Forest trail are all just minutes by car, some visible from the property. Whelan’s Bar, Shanaglish, just 5 minutes away on a quiet country road, is a hidden gem with outdoor seating, food options, traditional music, excellent service and the perfect place to call your ‘local’. The area also is a fisherman’s paradise with over fifty lakes and multiple river systems within a 5km radius.
