Description
Very occasionally, a property with a unique charm and special appeal comes to the market. Ink Bottle Cottage possesses such qualities and much, much more.
Built c.1900 as a land commission cottage, its characteristic architectural features were the inspiration for its name. In keeping with its origins, the current owners of the cottage have completed an impressive program of renovation and extension culminating in substantial home which retains its special cottage charm while incorporating many exciting contemporary features. Throughout, the property is presented with exceptional taste and flair and the cottage's many original features are enhanced by extensive use of quality materials hardwood and natural stone.
The house is approached by a sweeping tree lined driveway. A large reception hall with floor to ceiling windows has a natural stone floor and feature wall. This room acts as a link between old and new and is at the heart of the home. A handsomely proportioned living room with open fireplace is accommodated in the original house along with two double bedrooms "" one with shower room en-suite and a walk in wardrobe, and a large bathroom complete with period style fittings.
In the newer part of the house a high spec fitted kitchen with dining area enjoys lovely countryside views, and a home office/reading room offers various options in terms of use. A spiral staircase leads to the master suite a fantastic light filled bedroom with large shower room ensuite and walk in wardrobe "" outstanding!
The house stands on c.1acre of meticulously maintained grounds bounded by native hedgerow and incorporating a fenced paddock area along with generous lawn areas and sun terrace. Extensive planting of native species hedging, broad leaf and fruit trees and ornamental plants further enhance the site.
Located just 4km form the thriving town of Callan, on the road to Mullinahone, Ink Bottle Cottage enjoys a rural setting with wonderful views of Slieve na mBan within easy reach of every conceivable amenity and only a short drive to Kilkenny City.
In recent years, Callan town has been going from strength to strength with much development taking place both residential and commercial. Ink Bottle Cottage is an ideal choice for those looking for a country lifestyle without being remote.
Selling Agent Deirdre O'Carroll of Boyd's in Kilkenny is confident that this property should attract interest from those looking for something a little special which is ready to walk into and who want to be confident that the quality of the restoration work is second to none.
