Description
This is one of the finest properties of its kind to come on the market in the area in recent years. A stone built house completely renovated in 2004/2005 by a firm of locally renowned craftsmen to a truly excellent finish, combining the old with the new in a remarkably sympathetic fashion.
Formerly the home of a well known local musician the house stands on 3.42 acres of good land and has truly breath-taking views.
As if that were not enough it also comes with a 1/44 share of a C. 1280 acre mountain commonage adjoining the property to the rear, the views from which are also stunning. A well preserved portal tomb is situated not half a mile from the house on the commonage. The property also has turbary rights on a nearby bog.
Approximately 3 miles from the award-winning lakeside village of Mountshannon the property could not be in a more scenic location.
The house itself is South facing and in excellent condition comprising circa 1800 square feet with a large living room with exposed beams that retains the traditional open hearth and crane (the open fire has been replaced by a more efficient wood burning stove), a modern kitchen / dining room and a conservatory all with beautiful views. There is also a large bedroom with ensuite bathroom on the ground floor as well as a rear hallway, utility room and W.C.
There are solid maple floors downstairs except for the rear hallway, utility, W.C. and ensuite which have tiled floors. The house has been completely dry lined and is heavily insulated throughout.
Upstairs are 3 large bedrooms, a bathroom and a spacious mezzanine level with beautiful views. The floors are pitch pine and ceilings are tongue and groove pine.
To the rear of the house is a stone outbuilding which could be adapted for a number of purposes. There are also a number of mature trees on site. The water supply comes from a bored well on site and a modern sewage treatment system and OFCH has been installed. The roof is of slate and windows are teak double glazed.
The property has further development potential and would be ideal for a hostel/ walker's lodge as it is located on a number of walking routes on the "East Clare Way" in the Sliabh Aughty Mountains. It could also be used as an alternative therapy retreat, or of course a family home.
The peace and tranquility of the property cannot be over emphasised, which, combined with the indescribably beautiful views over the ever changing landscape make it a property that must be seen to be believed.
