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.
