Introducing Sonas, the Irish word for happiness, this lovely family home is certainly aptly named. Set on a most private and meticulously landscaped site of approx. 0.5 acre in Aghabullogue, there is a great sense of peace and tranquillity that one associates with countryside living. The original cottage was built in circa. 1890, has since had two extensions, one which has added an entire house to the original house was built in 2008. The house still maintains the original era features such as sash windows throughout the house. Accommodation extends to over 1,900 sq. ft. and is spread over 2 floors.

Upon entering the driveway, you are immediately swept in by the surrounding biodiverse mixed hedging, a rambling rose arch which gives access to the pedestrian access. An equal level of care and attention has been shown to the garden, which is an oasis in itself. it was designed with an intention to support a more sustainable lifestyle and to provide an abundance of organic fruit and vegetables with a poly tunnel, raised beds made from recycled plastic boards and a rainwater harvesting system plumbed to the poly tunnel. The whole garden was designed using the guiding principles of permaculture to replicate the wisdom of nature in the garden. It starts as soon as you enter with a mature herb spiral surrounded by strawberries. Three patio seating areas are spread throughout for the owner to soak up every bit of sun. The boundary of the property is surrounded by mature hedging and trees such as an Oak tree, Cobhut tree, apple, and pear trees, marilo cherry tree and a white magnolia tree. Within the oasis is a pond which provides a home to some frogs. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate all this wonderful home has to offer.
