The charming Georgian residence, dating from c.1830, is nestled within mature grounds, extending to approximately 7.6 acres.

Approached by a graceful driveway, the house extends to around 4,294 sq. ft. and has been lovingly maintained by its current owners. It retains much of its early architectural character, including timber sliding sash windows- a hallmark of the Georgian style along with several original fireplaces. 

The entrance porch opens into a generous central hallway, leading to a formal sitting room on the left and a living room on the right. The ground floor also includes a family room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory, cloakroom with WC and a laundry room.

Upstairs, there are six well-proportioned bedrooms, with the guest bedroom including an ensuite shower room, and two bathrooms. Many of the rooms enjoy dual aspects that allow for an abundance of natural light throughout the day, creating a sense of comfort and openness. 

To the rear, an enclosed courtyard features original outbuilding, along with the remnants of a former walled garden and stable block, contributing to the property's rich character and sense of place. 

Located along the stunning Wild Atlantic Way, this exceptional property forms an integral part of the built heritage of the area, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a home of both historic significance and enduring charm.

Its asking price is €695,000. For more information, you can go here
