Description

Standing on a pedestal, with a southerly aspect overlooking the Blackwater River valley, Five Acres enjoys extensive, unspoilt views to the East, South and toward the Rathcormack Mountains in the West. Just a two minute stroll from the village, with its new "Storehouse" building incorporating, café, gym, gifts and crafts. There is also a Doctor's surgery, primary school, kindergarten, community hall, Church and two pubs. The property is on a private elevated site with a winding gated driveway that leads to an open gravel parking area beside the house. Over the past few years the house has undergone extensive renovation and modernisation. Presented in turnkey condition and fully furnished, it now benefits from new double glazed windows and doors throughout, new UPVC porch, guttering and fascia, total rewire and replumbing, new boiler, state of the art heating and hot water system, integrated fire detection system, new bathrooms and kitchen, extensive insulation, eco-friendly log burner and total redecoration. Entering the house from the front after passing through the porch, which is a real sun trap, you are greeted by a spacious hallway. To the left is the very generously proportioned lounge, light and airy with high ceiling and an ornate fireplace with log burner. There are also TV/Satellite and high speed internet connections. To the right is the sitting room, again light and airy with similar dimensions to the lounge. There is an ornate fireplace with open fire and TV/Satellite connections. Passing through the hallway the stairs are to the left with a large enclosed storage area beneath. Upon entering the dining room, to the left there is a family size six seater dining table and sideboard, with a large picture window. To the right there is a seating area and coffee table with another large picture window. Upon entering the kitchen there are extensive worktops, over 8 metres, with ample storage cupboards, wall units and tiled splashback. There is a one and a half bowl stainless sink with mixer tap, integrated dishwasher, fridge-freezer and a dual oven cooker with extractor hood. Power points are plentiful and at convenient points around the kitchen. Walking through to the laundry room, there are wall units, worktops and cupboards that match with the theme of the kitchen. A one and a half bowl stainless sink with mixer tap, under counter vented tumble dryer and washing machine. Off the laundry room is the downstairs WC and wet area / shower room with low level WC, hand basin and shower with temperature controlled mixer unit. The other exit from the laundry room leads into the utility room. Once again, the wall units and cupboards follow the theme in the kitchen, with over 5 metres of work surface. There is an under counter freezer, free standing fridge-freezer, shoe and coat racks and the rear entrance that leads into the garage area. In previous years, this area was used as a downstairs bedroom. First Floor As you ascend the stairs, there is a small landing with further stairs to the right and left. Above there is a high ceiling with a skylight that shines through a stained glass styled panel. At the top of the right hand stair there is a further landing with three doors. The door to the left takes you into bedroom one, the kingsize bed, chest of drawers, dressing table and two triple wardrobes all fit comfortably into this large room. There are two large windows with spectacular views, which along with the high ceilings give a light and airy aura. The second door leads into the study, with a large window that also enjoys spectacular views. This room has previously been used as a nursery or bedroom 6. Door three leads into bedroom two which is effectively a mirror of bedroom one, the only real difference is the view that now looks out over the village and cottage area. At the top of the left hand staircase, there is a long corridor. The first door to the left leads into bedroom three; this is a good sized double bedroom, with plenty of room for a wardrobe and chest of drawers. The large window gives views overlooking the cottage, meadow and toward the North gate. The next door on the right takes you into one of the bathrooms. There is a low level WC, hand basin, towel rail, and wall and floor cabinets, along with a bathtub that sits underneath a large window. As the property is not overlooked, the glass is clear and affords views across the meadows towards the woods. Second door on the left is bedroom four, very similar in all respects to bedroom three, a comfortable double bedroom. Second door on the right is another bathroom with a low level WC, hand basin, towel rail, and floor and wall cabinets that incorporate the hot press. The P shape bath has a curved glass shower door and mixer taps with shower. Once again the large window is clear glass. At the end of the corridor is bedroom five, which encompasses the whole width of the house along with a kingsize bed, triple wardrobe, drawers and dressing table. There is an armchair and sitting area, with two large windows that give plenty of light and spectacular views. Be sure to take the virtual tour video, that will bring this narrative to life. Outside There is the garage 24m 2 approx with power, light and an outside tap. To the rear of the property is an enclosed workshop/storage 22m 2 approx with power and lighting. PIR sensor and night lights are arranged around the property and can be set on a timer. Across the large parking/turning area there are a selection of outbuildings with power and water. These buildings are made from stone, the main cottage, believed to be a Crofter's cottage, has had a new roof, skylight and replacement windows fitted. It has two floors, two downstair areas and two fireplaces, which have been temporarily capped. Internally, it is a blank canvas and whilst previously used as stables could be easily reinstated as a dwelling, subject to the appropriate permission, currently used as a second garage and wood store. The second building is single storey and divided into two, again previously used as stables but now one area used for general storage and the other has a log splitter and is used as a log store. The space between the buildings has been covered and is used as garden storage, but was previously used as stables. In total there were five stables; there is also a stone cobbled courtyard and a covered area used to store grounds equipment. In the North West corner of the meadow there is a gate that gives additional access to the barn from the road to the North. The barn has a floor space of 180m 2 approx and is currently used to store some farming machinery. In the North Eastern part of the property, adjacent to the barn, is a 40 x 20 metre small dressage arena. If wanted, the barn could be rented to a local farmer, as indeed could the meadows. The grounds extend to 4:5 acres in total; they are fertile and the soil PH is 5:5. In essence, the potential of this property and outbuildings cannot be understated. Perfectly functional and versatile as they are, or they could be used as stables, equestrian centre, livestock, kennels, storage, a Granny annexe or rented out. The barn has a South facing roof and could be fitted with solar panels and become a micro generator, all subject to the appropriate permission and survey. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a residence with endless potential sited in a wonderfully tranquil and scenic setting; yet the market towns of Lismore, Tallow and Fermoy are 10mins/8:5km 9mins/7km and 20mins/17km away respectively and with easy access to the M8 and N72. Ballyduff Upper is celebrated for its Booley House, with traditional Irish dancing, music, drama and storytelling, and along with the local GAA Club, there is a vibrant village community.
