St. Michael's, Cootehall Road, Knockadaff, Co. Roscommon, F52YA97

DNG McGill brings to the market St. Michaels, Knockvicar, ideally situated midway between Carrick-on-Shannon and Boyle, offering convenient access to a range of amenities. This architecturally designed home is positioned on an elevated one-acre site in the scenic Roscommon Lakelands, providing sweeping views over the river Boyle, which continues its course into the River Shannon. The split-level layout of the residence creates an eclectic and light-filled living environment, perfect for both winter and summer living. All front-facing rooms overlook a picturesque bend in the river, while the rear of the house enjoys views of the Sliabh an Iarainn mountains, known as Iron Mountain. The front of the property is defined by a double-faced dry wall, naturally constructed from Roscommon limestone and granite by a skilled local stonemason. The wall’s thoughtful design allows for the embedding of flowers and plants, adding to its charm and character. Over the past few years extensive renovations were carried out on both the ground and first floor of the house but has not been completed giving the new purchasers an option to put their own design on the internal layout. The ground floor features a double-height entrance hall, a spacious fully fitted kitchen and breakfast room with a functional cast iron Victorian fireplace, a separate dining room or study, and a comfortable sitting room/lounge equipped with a newly installed Stovax wood burner and a marble fireplace. This bright lounge opens through UPVC double glazed French doors to a conservatory. Also on this level are a double bedroom and a family bathroom with bath. The downstairs flooring is solid oak, with the kitchen, bathroom, and hallway finished in tile. Upstairs, there are three additional bedrooms and a shower room fitted with an electric shower. The master bedroom spans the width of the house at the front, featuring its own en-suite bathroom with a heated towel rail and satellite TV points. The property is fully equipped with Air Fibre Extreme 1000Mb broadband with unlimited download capacity. Cabling is installed underground from the house to both the external studio and the log cabin, ensuring seamless connectivity. The external studio and log cabin have separate alarm and heating systems, allowing them to function independently. The garden is beautifully landscaped with mature trees, including Scotts Pine and Forest Pine. A Hawthorn Tree hedge, planted over the past two years, runs the full length of the garden and borders the neighbouring property. Eight young broad-leaved trees, a rose garden, and lavender beds have been added in recent years. Many of the garden statues and ornaments are included in the sale. The rear features a new block wall and courtyard with brick paving, providing drive-in access for vehicles. The purpose-built external Studio/Office includes conference facilities, a meeting room, and an office area. It is fitted with an integrated motorised screen in the meeting area, with wiring for a data projector, computer, and satellite. The studio is also connected to broadband through underground cabling and features a solid oak floor and timber ceiling panelling with spotlights. Amenities include a fully tiled wet room with a high-pressure shower, toilet, washbasin, and radiator, as well as a kitchenette with a separate water tank and immersion heater. The heating system is independent from the main house, with its own oil (kerosene) tank, burner, and full circuit fuse board. The studio also has a separate alarm system, external sensor, and PIR lighting. Facing the river, this versatile space can be used as an income-generating apartment, guest facility, home office, business centre, or creative studio for writers and artists. Situated to the east of the house and facing south, the triple-insulated timber log cabin is suitable for a variety of uses. It features its own heating system with a night-rate storage heater and the option to connect an additional radiator to the house system. The cabin is fitted with three double-glazed, double-opening tilt-and-turn windows and external shutters. It is ideal as a work-from-home office, photographic or sound studio, therapy or healing space, or leisure area. The cabin has external sensor lights and can be accessed separately from the house via a side gate.
