Description
Standing on a stunning elevated site and commanding superb views over the surrounding countryside, this exceptional family residence enjoys a particularly strong sense of place stemming from its idyllic setting combined with carefully thought out design - from its positioning on the site to the impeccable attention to detail throughout its interior. Despite the property's peaceful surrounds, it enjoys a remarkably convenient location with easy access to the main Waterford-Dublin route and is just minutes from Thomastown which boast every conceivable amenity. Kilkenny lies c.12 miles to the North. The locality is home to the wonderful gardens of Kilfane with their magical woodland walks and cottage orn.5.
Built in c.2000, the property nestles into a gently sloping site extending to c.1.1ha (2.5 acres). Built to a traditional country house style, this substantial 5 bedroom residence strikes the perfect balance between old and new.
On entering the house, the attention to detail and quality of workmanship is immediately evident with many decorative features throughout. A simple, double fronted layout gives the property a timeless quality and allows for both formal and casual reception areas. A stunning kitchen/conservatory area is definitely the heart of this family home and central to its welcoming atmosphere is an oil fired AGA - the quintessential country kitchen feature.
Upstairs no less than five double bedrooms offer exceptional space. Two of the bedrooms incorporate en-suite shower rooms. Generous provision of fitted storage and wardrobe space strikes a practical note while tasteful d.5cor completes the picture.
Outside, the property is approached by a sweeping driveway bounded by manicured lawns and mature hedging. To the front of the property, a large paddock area blends the boundary perfectly into the picturesque landscape in which the property lies. Immediately to the side and rear of the house are hard landscaped areas providing both utility space as well as an outside suntrap-dining area. Raised beds surround this area and steps then lead to a separate level area mainly in gravel, which offers various options in terms of use and includes a base for a large outhouse/shed (formerly the site of a workshop) if required.
