Description

This is one of those rare occasions when a truly unique property comes on the market in the Ashford area. The Owl Barn is a superb barn conversion that has been recently extended and renovated to the highest standards. This wonderful home is nestled into the wooded hillside, overlooking the beautiful village of Ashford and has sensational views over the Mount Usher gardens and down to the Irish Sea. Built in 1860, the original barn was occupied by a farm helper in the 1950s and then renovated in the 1990s by the current owners into a 2 bed home. The barn was further refurbished by the same owners in 2016 along, with the addition of a stunning 46 sq meter architectural extension turning the Owl Barn into a contemporary 3 bed home in this highly sought after residential area in Ashford The Owl Barn comprises of a beautiful open plan kitchen/living/dining room, three bedrooms with two ensuite, a family bathroom. There is the added benefit of a basement room which has been converted into a utility room and a spacious detached garage/shed. The ground floor consists of the wonderful split level extension. The sleek and elegant kitchen is on the upper level and has ample wall and floor units, tiled floors and a breakfast bar. The living/dining room has a vaulted ceiling with recessed lighting. There is high quality laminate flooring and the room is flooded with natural light. There are french doors that open to the front of the property where there are stunning views over the village of Ashford towards the Wicklow coast. The master bedroom is situated towards the front of the property and has high quality built in wardrobes, fitted carpets, curtains and blinds. An elegant ensuite adjoins the master bedroom which also features the original window through which the resident barn owl flew to give the building its name. A second bedroom and stylish family bathroom make up the rest of the ground floor. Downstairs in the basement is another large double bedroom with double doors to the rear and an ensuite bathroom. As the property is set into the hillside, the garden has a number of levels with delightful suntraps, nooks and crannies everywhere. A recent addition is the beautiful terraced area with the most incredible view, accessible via a flight of steps from the kitchen. The property adjoins and has access to 50 acres of beautiful Coillte woodland and pathways to the rear of the house. A tree lined path leads to the adjoining wood and the owners of the Owl Barn walk there daily. The house is fully alarmed with new, high quality, double glazed windows throughout. Heating is OFCH and there is a new Grant condensing boiler. Sewerage and water are from the mains. Ashford is a rapidly expanding and thriving town located approximately 40 km south of Dublin and 7 km north of Wicklow town. The area is famous for the surrounding countryside with award winning beaches & forest walks just a stones throw away. There are excellent schools, shops, pubs and restaurants all in the immediate vicinity. Ashford has become a haven for the commuter and one of the most sought after areas of Co Wicklow. Dart services are available from Greystones and the M11 roadway has brought Dublin even closer with the M50 and Dundrum shopping centre less than 25 minutes away.
