Description

With stunning views towards the Slieve Bloom Mountains "Carezza" which is Italian for caress (or akin to welcome in Italian), is a truly magnificent family home. Set back from the road behind extensive manicured hedging and mature trees, this property is very private with extensive landscaped gardens and no nearby houses. Built in 1978 with complimentary additions over the years, Carezza has the charm, character and elegance of a much older property. The interiors are extremely tasteful with a "Rhatigan & Hick" solid wood kitchen, ample reception rooms including large dining room and drawing room for entertaining, whilst a less formal TV room and orangery prove to be popular hang-outs for family and friends. The orangery or breakfast room by Hampton Conservatories is a beautiful but practical feature with french doors leading to a wonderfully landscaped and mature gardens of two and a half acres. Inside the layout is perfect, with large rooms of generous proportions. The hall-door porch with double doors lead to an impressive entrance hall with parquet flooring, inviting you into this comfortable family home. The traditional style staircase and solid parquet flooring with cornicing, and ceiling rose set the tone. The formal reception room or drawing room has a double aspect with proportions appropriate to a house of this size. The equally generous dining room is light filled with doors leading to the gardens and beautiful mahogany floors. The kitchen is bespoke by "Rhatigan & Hicks" with an Aga. Truly breathtaking with its breakfast area and calming elegance. There is an island with sink, Miele dishwasher and pull out bin, a large pantry cupboard with spice racks, marble shelf, pull out drawers and a glasses display cabinet, as well as a built-in Miele oven/hob and extractor. There are endless storage and feature options with integrated fridge freezer, larders, extractor fan, stow-away food and bread boards and all the luxuries of this high end luxury kitchen brand. Adjoining the kitchen is a utility room with Rhatigan & Hick tall storage cupboards, a sink and drainer unit and lovely views over the garden. There are double doors from the kitchen leading to a large family room with stove, fitted units by Oakline Furniture of Ranelagh, and feature window overlooking the front garden with large roof light. The boot room or second hall inside the back door is another practical addition with Rhatigan & Hick wine rack, coats and boots storage. Adjacent to this is a guest WC. The study on the ground floor is ideally located, just off the entrance hall and near to the kitchen and living area of the house with fitted mahogany shelving and desk and views over the front garden. A major attraction is a ground floor en-suite extra large double bedroom with large bay-window, walk-in wardrobe and stone finished floor off the drawing room. Ideal for guests with the added privacy away from family amd noise! Upstairs, the en-suite master bedroom has solid oak fitted wardrobes, again by Oakline of Ranelagh. A window to the front affords wonderful views over the Slieve Blooms and french doors lead to a balcony overlooking the paddock and gardens to the north of the property. There are another four bedrooms each with fitted wardrobes. One of the bedrooms has its own further adjoining bedroom meaning there are seven bedrooms in total and a study. There is a large family bathroom with large bath and power shower on the main landing of the house also. Throughout the house, bespoke radiator covers and interlined bespoke curtains echo the quality and style of this stunning house. Outside the grounds are equally impressive with mature landscaping, a pagoda, extensive seating areas, large paved patio area off the kitchen and dining room and extensive cobble lock paving surrounding the house. The field or paddock adjoining the property would present a good option for equine buyers. The beautiful courtyard and parking area to the side of the house is behind large double gates for extra privacy. Off the courtyard is a large gym which could be suitable for a large office area, a fuel shed and a garage. The location is ideal, 15 mins from Tullamore, 15 mins from Portlaoise, 5 mins from Mountmellick, 10 mins from the motorway and an hour from Dublin. The nearby villages of Ballyfin with it's world renowned Country House Hotel, Emo Park and House complete with 600 acres of parkland and Glenbarrow with it's magnificent waterfall and mountain trails make it an extremely attractive location with beautiful walks and amenities in the area. Rarely does a property of this quality come to the market. "Carezza" really has it all, beautifully laid out accommodation, stunning kitchen, landscaped gardens with additional grass areas and paddock. The current owners are downsizing for practical reasons but leave no doubt as to the major benefits this large family home can offer the willing purchaser. Viewing of this dream family home is highly recommended.
