Denise Radley Auctioneers are delighted to bring this charming, elegant and stylish family home to the market place. This is a five-bedroom home with immense character, presented in an attractive blend of old world and modern interior finishes. The location of the property is excellent as it is a less than 1km from Fourmilewater Church and medical centre, 3km from Ballymacarbry and Newcastle villages, 15km from Clonmel and 27km from Dungarvan. Set on an 0.9 acre plot in an idyllic area with stunning views of the Comeragh and Knockmealdown Mountains, its position on the border between North Waterford and South Tipperary makes it an ideal base for one to commute to work and enjoy the benefits of country living….
Dating from the late 19th century, the original farmhouse was completely renovated and extended in 2002. It now stands as a 2300 sq ft eye-catching home, which combines modern style and comfort with timeless character. The traditional wrought iron gates at the entrance immediately introduce the old-world charm and elegance that this home presents. A large stone ruin of nearly 600 sq ft helps form a beautiful front courtyard and has massive potential to be developed for a myriad of uses. It would make a wonderful apartment, home office or guest accommodation. A further stone outbuilding sits at the entrance. This was completely re-roofed in the last two years and has electrical cables running to it in preparation for completion for a use of your choosing: It would make an ideal gym, garden room or games room for the older children.
Once through the front door, there is a wide entrance hall. There is a formal living room with a Stanley stove, solid oak flooring, marble fireplace and a kitchen with beautiful white high gloss units and LED floor lighting. This leads into a 540 sq ft Dining/Lounge. This room is wonderfully presented, with double height ceiling and an abundance of natural light flowing into this living space. This is certainly the “Red Spot” of the house or the WOW factor…..
The accommodation on this level is completed by a guest bedroom and bathroom which is fully tiled in travertine and includes a walk-in waterfall shower.
The original adjoining barn has been converted to create a luxurious and private master suite. Elegant black and white checkerboard tiles and classic wall panelling in the accommodation hall lead to a master bedroom with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The suite is completed with a generous ensuite that is fitted with a high spec jacuzzi/hydrotherapy bath and a large walk in wardrobe that is shelved and railed throughout. The accommodation in this area is completed by a voluminous home office which is fully fitted with floor to ceiling shelves and a utility room.
The first floor has three further bedrooms and a bathroom, along with a large storage press. This home is certainly well laid out and suits all ages.
The outside space is equally impressive. To the rear, a raised lawn complete with children’s tree house and swings is enclosed by mature trees and attractive stone walls, while the large patio area is perfect for BBQs. The front stone courtyard has a gravel drive and a raised lawn complete with three large raised planting beds. The areas are divided by innovative gabion boxes; these are engineered mesh boxes containing the crushed original stone from the cottage and come replete with integrated led lighting that stunningly lights up the front at night-time, stylishly marrying the modern to the traditional which is the hallmark of this property.
There is no shortage of amenities in the area. Four-mile-water church and medical centre are a kilometre away, the local primary school is two kilometres away, while Ballymacarbry Village itself with its state of the art community centre and gym, local pubs, shop and post office is only 3 kilometres away. One can enjoy a myriad of beautiful scenic walks, including the circular road walk, called the Deerpark Loop, while The East Munster Way literally passes your doorstep. Of course if one is feeling even more energetic, one can climb the Comeragh and Knockmealdown mountains or participate in The Nire Valley Drop Mountain Biking Event or The Knock- Me- Down Adventure Challenge. For the more relaxed there is excellent fishing in the area, as well as expert tuition at the local Fly-fishing School.
This is a wonderful place to live as there is a very strong community spirit present in the area. It is served by excellent school transport links to both the local primary school and secondary schools in both Clonmel and Dungarvan.
This home certainly will not be on the market for long as it’s rare that a house of this calibre and presentation becomes available. It has so much to offer and is located in an idyllic location.
