About this property
Description
Set amidst approx. 7.87 private acres beside the renowned K Club, Ladycastle House is an exceptional luxury residence that flawlessly combines classic Georgian-inspired elegance with modern sustainability and design. This 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom home boasts a B1 energy rating thanks to cutting-edge features including solar panels, a three-phase wind turbine, and a geothermal heating system. It is the epitome of refined country living, offering privacy, panoramic views over the K Club’s world-famous golf course, and the rolling countryside beyond. Accessed via double gates and approached by a breathtaking tree-lined driveway flanked with mature oak trees, flower beds, and manicured shrubbery, the setting alone signals the uniqueness of this home. Spanning approximately 491 sq mt (5,285 sq ft), the interior layout is as impressive as the exterior, with generous, light-filled spaces and elegant detailing throughout. Upon entry, a striking bifurcated staircase commands attention in the spacious foyer, illuminated by an expansive overhead skylight. It sets the tone for a beautifully designed interior that effortlessly balances grandeur with comfort. The south wing of the house features an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area with direct access to the gardens, ideal for entertaining or unwinding in peaceful surroundings. The kitchen/utility is finished in solid wood and includes a Belfast sink, granite countertops and backsplash, an oil-fired AGA, high-end Miele appliances, and premium ceramic flooring. The opposite wing offers additional reception space, a home office, a guest WC, and a storeroom. Throughout the home, 3 metre high ceilings, elegant coving, double-glazed timber sash windows, and bespoke details such as the handcrafted monkey-tail balustrade contribute to its distinctive character and exceptional quality. Upstairs, there are 4 generously sized bedrooms, 3 with en suite bathrooms and the 4th served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The 2nd floor offers a 5th bedroom, a versatile space complemented by two additional storerooms, ideal for conversion into a studio, gym, or extra living areas. The exterior of the property is equally impressive, featuring limestone patio areas that provide multiple options for outdoor seating and entertaining, all set within fully enclosed grounds and extensive, mature gardens. Additional highlights include a substantial backup generator, a comprehensive security and camera system, a large car garage, and a separate storage shed. Built just 25 years ago, the property remains a lasting testament to the care and vision of its owner over the years.
