Ballycumber, Clara, Co. Offaly

Kearney Auctioneers are excited to present to the market this lovely four-bedroom residence on a large private landscaped site extending to circa 0.8 acres. This substantial country home boasts generously proportioned and free-flowing accommodation over two floors that extends to c. 225 sq m (2420 sq ft). Less than a 2-minute stroll from Ballycumber Village the house is afforded considerable privacy by the mature trees and hedgerow framing the property. The house is approached via a private entrance and gravel driveway. Entering the home one is immediately struck by a warm entrance hall and its eclectic ambiance. A well-proportioned main reception room, kitchen, and living room lead from the hall. The sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, borrowing light from the adjoining conservatory that overlooks the rear garden. Double doors lead to a large open-plan kitchen. The utility room with pedestrian access to the rear garden and guest w.c. are both located next to the kitchen. Upstairs a central landing provides access to 4 generous-sized bedrooms (Main ensuite) and a family bathroom. The property is further enhanced with a side annex, former home to the Post Office in Ballycumber and while presently not in use, it could easily be converted to a large 1 bedroom apartment to produce an element of income if required. Outside the grounds are landscaped, a beautifully formed arch belies the secret garden beyond, offering pure escapism and complete privacy. Constructed in the mid-1980s, the house is heated by way of a solid fuel cooker, a solid fuel boiler, and an open fireplace in the sitting room.
