An unusually tall pieris is a striking feature on the lawn directly in front of the residence while a pillar like variegated pittisporum catches the eye. The gravelled driveway is flanked either side by lots of colour. On the right are colourful shrubs while on the left are beds aglow with wonderful colours – daffodils galore, snakes head fritillarias and varieties of hebibores backed by good screening. The side has “rooms outside” enclosed by tall beech hedging – ideal for quiet contemplation. A maturing myrtle is a charmer in this location. There is a split level patio in random sandstone to the front. To the rear another slightly more formal, the circle here is composed of wedge shaped sandstone sections. Here again there are numerous daffs while a now flowering clematis is supported by a timber pergola creating a covered link to the front. The north west corner here is home to a marvellous Monterey pine with its great network of branches carrying an endless crop of great cones. Useful store/workshop with ceiling and double glazing measures circa 4.6 x 2.4m. All in all the foregoing is just an introduction to the magic of the outdoor elements of Foothills. Price: €795,000
