The kitchen has been fully fitted with an integrated oven and hob. Tiles line the floor with statement wooden ceiling beams drawing the eye upward. Carpeted stairs join this room with the first-floor landing. 

Both bedrooms are located upstairs – each with gorgeous country views – along with the family bathroom which has been beautifully decorated and features a wash hand basin, shower, and WC as well as attractive panelling and a fitted storage space.

Set on a one-acre plot of land in an idyllic countryside setting, the surrounding vistas of rolling hills and valleys are an undeniable highlight. Bordered by lush mature trees, the property enjoys great privacy year-round. In the summertime, the sheltered southwest-facing patio area is perfect for al fresco dining. There is also substantial off-road parking on site. To the front, you’ll find a shed with a door – currently used for fuel storage – with another small storage shed can to the side. 

Nestled in a tranquil countryside location, the property is removed from the hustle and bustle of city life yet is still within easy access of all necessary amenities. Leap Village is just 3km away and is situated at the north end of the stunning Glandore Harbour where you’ll find an array of beaches and a fabulous park overlooking the bay. 

Other services include a private well and septic tank. Heating is by means of oil-fired central heating and there are two solid fuel stoves –  one in the living/dining room and another in the sitting room. All windows are uPVC double-glazed throughout with a solid wood front door. Strong Wi-Fi speeds are also available. The property currently has an E1 BER rating, so will need extra work by future owners to ensure it is as energy efficient as possible.
