There are houses auctioneers describe as being in walk-in condition. There are houses they describe as having potential. And then there is a very rare category: houses that have the wow factor. This home has that in spades.
Set on approximately 0.8 acres of beautifully mature, south-facing gardens, this impressive six-bedroom detached property offers a blend of generous space and countryside tranquillity, all just ten minutes from Mullingar town and within easy reach of the M4.
The current owners have created a fabulous, welcoming home that is comfortable, stylish and practical. A standout feature is the solid-fuel stove that acts as a dividing point between the living and dining areas in the spacious open-plan living/dining room.
This room, which, like the welcoming entrance hall and the kitchen, has a solid timber floor, also boasts a feature bay window.
The kitchen, which also has a dining area, is fitted with white units and includes a solid-fuel cooker. Off the kitchen is a utility room, which provides access to the rear garden.
Also at ground level are a fully equipped office, a guest/child WC with shower room, and a separate playroom.
Upstairs are six bedrooms. The primary bedroom includes a Velux window, a walk-in wardrobe and an elegant bathroom with tiled floor, bathtub and heated towel rail. The remaining bedrooms feature a mix of built-in wardrobes and either carpet or timber flooring. Also found at that level is the main family bathroom.
Outside, the property boasts mature lawns, a tarmac driveway, a timber cabin, two block-built sheds and PV solar panels. The rooms throughout are stylish and spacious, completing a truly exceptional family home.
