This property has loads of potential for a variety of different types of home owner due to its offering of 2 dwellings and the further potential of developing a business for a variety of purposes. The different properties at Castlekeeran are spacious in layout offering beauty. The old stone cottage at the front was fully restored in beautiful and thoughtful detail to include a thatched roof, so along with the adjacent stone outbuildings this in turn provides for a stunning courtyard setting. Castlekeeran is home to the well regarded artist Betty Newman-Maguire who has put her stamp on every aspect of the properties design whilst maintaining a strong regard for its history. In designing the different buildings, the owner has provided numerous additional bedrooms which have been used whilst students worked at the studios. The separate acting studio is actually designed and laid out as residential accommodation therefore offering a variety of uses for all incoming potential buyers. The different properties at Castlekeeran need to be viewed so as to be appreciated and to understand its diverse range of potential usages.

Adjoining the thatch cottage is a separate double height studio with a beautiful stone arch doorways, with a large bedroom and WC over head and this space can be immediately incorporated into the thatch house if required by an incoming home owner. The studio building to the side of the courtyard provides a fully fitted kitchen, dining and sitting area with a two storey high feature fireplace and upstairs includes loft bedroom. There is an additional separate bathroom with a further room which is laid out as a double bedroom. The studio is finished to a very high standard with double glazing, timber floors and it is beautifully decorated throughout. The double doors open onto a raised paved patio, a rockery and a large landscaped lawn. This then leads to a further raised garden to the back of the studio with feature trees and a hazelwood land. To the rear of the cottage is an old raised orchard with herb garden and an array of cottage garden plants that stimulates the senses and is home to the many birds throughout the year and there are a number of secret spaces in which to sit and contemplate. There is wheelchair access to both properties and a wet room in one. The current owner also designed and built a work shop which is used for all plaster work, clay modelling, wax moulding and finishing of metal work for all sculpting purposes. This building has an outside yard space for stonework so this overall offering provides a variety of uses for an incoming purchaser.
