An exceptional and truly distinctive residence, this former country pub has been creatively transformed into a spacious and character-filled family home, set amidst the tranquil countryside of Tobinstown, Tullow, Co. Carlow. Standing on approximately 1.28 hectares (c. 3.16 ac), this handsome granite-fronted property combines rustic charm, generous accommodation and an appealing range of equestrian and agricultural facilities.

Extending to approximately 2,450 sq. ft., the residence offers versatile accommodation over two floors. The ground floor comprises a covered entrance porch leading to a welcoming hall, an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area featuring two sets of French doors, and a separate sitting room with solid fuel stove. An adjoining room offers excellent flexibility for use as a home office, additional living space or bedroom. A spacious family bathroom, complete with freestanding clawfoot bath, double shower and separate WC, completes the ground-floor accommodation.

At first-floor level, two separate landings provide access to four bedrooms, including an ensuite bedroom, together with a family bathroom.

A particularly notable feature is the property's dual frontage onto two separate roads, providing two independent points of access and adding to the versatility and distinction of the overall holding. The impressive granite boundary walls, traditional stone exterior and separate gated entrances to the residential forecourt, yard and paddock create an attractive and substantial country property with a strong sense of character and presence.

Combining an attractive traditional exterior with adaptable family accommodation and extensive grounds, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive countryside home with exceptional character and outstanding potential in a peaceful rural setting.
