Description
Horgan Properties are delighted to present this exceptional 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom detached residence, located in the peaceful countryside setting of Slievawaddra, close to Ballyduff village. Set on a generous c.0.3-acre site, held in Folio KY518F, the property offers an excellent balance of rural tranquility and convenient access to nearby towns and amenities. To the south, Causeway is 8 minutes away, with Tralee a 25-minute drive - while to the east, Ballyduff is only 4 minutes away and Listowel can be reached in just 20 minutes. Situated along the scenic Wild Atlantic Way, the property is just 5 minutes from Kilmore Strand and 15 minutes from the world-renowned golf links and beaches of Ballybunion.
Built in 1920 and since restored and extended, this distinctive and well-proportioned home extends to 258.43 sq. metres. It offers a wonderful blend of space, natural light and character throughout, with a unique layout that creates an easy flow between the principal living areas. A distinctive feature of the property is its three separate accommodation zones, providing excellent flexibility and privacy. One is positioned to the rear at ground floor level, another is accessed via the spiral staircase in the living room, while the primary bedroom accommodation is reached via the main staircase.
On entry, a spacious and welcoming entrance porch with slate-tiled flooring offers a comfortable seating area together with practical space for coats, boots, and umbrellas. An arched opening leads to the main entrance hallway, while to the right, double doors open into a bright and expansive living room, with dual-aspect windows. A solid fuel stove set on a granite hearth creates a warm focal point, while a cast-iron spiral staircase provides access to one wing of the first-floor accommodation. A further set of double doors leads into the light-filled kitchen, designed in a contemporary industrial style with freestanding units, vaulted ceilings, and Velux windows. Double doors also open into the adjoining dining area, where the continuation of the vaulted ceilings and additional Velux windows further amplify the sense of light and space. Slate-tiled flooring also flows seamlessly through the living, kitchen, and dining areas. Full-height glazing and French doors open onto the rear patio and garden, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the coastline. From the dining room, a rear porch with double French doors provides access to the patio area and connects to a rear hallway (which can also be accessed from the main entrance hall) with a WC/shower room and a spacious double bedroom.
Positioned off the entrance hallway, a feature solid timber staircase leads to a gallery-style first floor and the main wing of the upstairs accommodation. From the gallery landing, the layout naturally divides, with the master bedroom suite positioned to the right, while two double bedrooms and the main bathroom lie to the left. The impressive master suite enjoys a private rear-facing aspect and features vaulted ceilings together with an ensuite shower room. Full-height glazing and double doors open onto a recessed balcony with inset lighting and a sheltered seating area, and even more stunning views of the countryside and the Atlantic. To the opposite side of the landing are two generously proportioned double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom complete with a freestanding bath. Another more private upstairs wing, accessed via the cast-iron spiral staircase from the living room, offers ideal guest accommodation and comprises a landing area, a single bedroom to the front, and a generous twin/double bedroom to the rear with ensuite facilities.
This beautifully maintained residence features a wonderful balance of space, natural light and character. The house is well-insulated, with double-glazed golden oak PVC exterior doors and windows, a solid fuel stove in the living area and zoned oil-fired central heating. Externally, the site captures abundant natural light, with paved patios accessible from the rear porch and dining room. This allows seamless indoor-outdoor living, perfect for enjoying the tranquil surroundings. There is plenty of parking to the front, with block-built boundary walls and a storage shed to the rear.
Set within a small and welcoming rural community, this stunning home offers a rare opportunity to to experience countryside tranquillity and excellent convenience. The area is particularly well suited to families, with several primary schools nearby including Sliabh a? Mhadra and Ballyduff, while also falling within the catchment area for Causeway Comprehensive School. The property is also suited to commuters, remote workers, or anyone seeking a more peaceful pace of life while still having access to nearby towns, beaches, and amenities. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, setting, and lifestyle this exceptional home has to offer.
