Description

Gracefully set on an elevated site overlooking the vibrant town centre, Abbey View is one of Thomastown's earliest houses enjoying a remarkably central location given the air of tranquillity and seclusion which abounds in the property.

Abbey View is an intriguing house incorporating many fascinating features within its extensive accommodation. The original house has been reinvented over the centuries. Throughout are many significant features of early Georgian Architecture, culminating in a wonderful blend of periods, styles and room sizes.

The main entrance hall and reception rooms at hall floor level are handsomely proportioned, and given their southerly aspect are drenched in sunlight for much of the day. Bedroom space is extensive and offers balance to the accommodation.

A kitchen on the garden level return replaces the original at basement level. The extensive basement is currently unused but offers enormous potential in terms of enhancing the more formal accommodation in the house.

A circular lawn area to the front is and elegant prelude to the property. Side access leads to a wide range of variously sized outhouses and stables to the rear of the house which offer an entire extra dimension to the property. Arranged in an attractive courtyard setting the possibilities here are boundless.

A large paddock area is accessed through the courtyard and is bounded by stone walls and mature hedgerow.

An integral part of the property's appeal is its wonderfully unique setting. In all, a truly rare opportunity to create an elegant residence of ambience and substance.
