Upstairs, there is a bedroom with fitted wardrobes and ensuite shower room and the master bedroom, also with wardrobes and ensuite shower-room, but also opening into a sitting area with feature floor to ceiling glass wall, exposing superb views of the wonderful landscape. The bathroom and ensuites are tiled floor to ceiling and have showers with a 4 jet-massage facility. Floors are finished with either solid larch or floor tiles throughout.

Outside, there is an original stone outbuilding, which has further potential uses (a studio, possibly) and the site is wonderfully landscaped and has a mix of mature apple, sycamore and ash trees. The drive to the front is surfaced with sea pebble, as is the courtyard to the front and there is a ideally positioned patio area are off the sun room, the perfect afternoon/evening suntrap.

Outside
This amazing home is finished with handpicked red and cream sandstone and limestone. The property sits on a stunning ½ acre site which includes an orchard with mature apple, sycamore and ash trees to the side, large south facing courtyard to the rear which enjoys the afternoon sunshine and is very serene and private and neatly manicured lawns to the front and side. The driveway as well as the courtyard, is finished with much sought after Wexford Beach Pebble. Off the sunroom, a patio area looks onto the orchard and catches the evening sunshine, ideal for enjoying a summer barbeque or indeed just winding down after a long day. To the side of the courtyard, an outbuilding is home to the heating system controls as well as the pump system for the showers. The remainder of the building would be ideal as a studio or indeed an additional bedroom.
