Description

DNG Glen Corcoran are delighted to present this truly impressive and deceptively spacious five-bedroom detached residence, extending to approximately 375 sq.m (4,035 sq.ft), set amidst a picturesque and peaceful rural landscape just 6km from Birr Town Centre. Built circa 2012 to a very high standard, this outstanding home combines modern design with energy efficiency, boasting a strong B2 BER rating with further potential for enhancement through the addition of solar PV panels. Comfort is assured throughout the home with a highly efficient geothermal heating system providing underfloor heating across both levels. The first floor also has the benefit of Hollowcore concrete flooring throughout. Set on approximately 2.94 acres, the grounds are a standout feature of this property. The land is thoughtfully divided into a number of well-maintained paddocks, making it ideal for equestrian or hobby farming use, while also offering beautifully secluded garden areas perfect for relaxation and outdoor entertaining. A well-presented four-bay stable block of approximately 52 sq.m, complete with water and electricity supply, further enhances the versatility and appeal of the outdoor space. Internally, the accommodation is both generous and well-designed, laid out over two floors to suit modern family living. The heart of the home is a bright and expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, ideal for both everyday use and entertaining. Additional living space is provided by a first-floor sitting room, offering elevated views of the surrounding countryside. The property comprises five spacious bedrooms, including a master bedroom with en-suite, along with two main bathrooms and a separate shower room. Practical features include a utility room, plant room, and an integral garage/fuel store, ensuring ample storage and functionality throughout. The current owners have shown exceptional attention to detail in both the design and ongoing maintenance of this home, resulting in a property that is presented in turnkey condition. Conveniently located just minutes from Birr Town, the property benefits from easy access to a wide range of amenities including schools, shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. The nearby Slieve Bloom Mountains, visible from the property, offer stunning scenery and excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and outdoor pursuits. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, energy-efficient family home in a tranquil yet accessible setting. Viewing is highly recommended and by appointment only through sole selling agents DNG Glen Corcoran.
