Sherry FitzGerald McMahon is delighted to present this picture postcard countryside retreat set in the rolling hills of northeast Clare. This home is a seamless blend of the old-world country charm of a cosy traditional cottage and a stunning vaulted ceiling open plan contemporary rear extension. The space is ideal for family and friends to gather. The home has been tastefully modernised and extended to include excellent energy efficiency with underfloor heating and an air to water heat pump. The property sits discretely on its hillside perch with fabulous views of the valley below and the distant hills. Glendree is set between busy Tulla and the village of Feakle. The area has a rich history and connection with traditional music in County Clare, itself being a heartland for traditional music in Ireland. It has a proud traditional heritage and a strong welcoming community.
The relatively modest entrance disguises the space that is hidden to the rear in the form of a light filled open plan living area with skylight windows and multiple French doors opening onto the south facing terrace. The terrace is also accessed from the generous conservatory which is connected through the kitchen. The terrace is ideal for summer barbeques, dining and entertaining. The country style kitchen, with its solid fuel range, has generous space and excellent modern finishes. The kitchen looks out onto the open plan area which is flanked by stunning ceiling height bookshelves. At the far side of the bookshelves there is a large utility room which provides excellent additional storage shelving and access to a WC.
The property has four double bedrooms. This includes an attached guestroom with a separate external entrance and its own living space. There is a generous master suite with ensuite bathroom and a separate storage room/walk in wardrobe. There is a beautifully finished main bathroom that services the other three bedrooms. On the transition to the guest bedroom there is a study / storage room with views of the back garden.
The site extends to 0.28 hectares or (0.69 acres). It is bounded to the side by a local road which gives side gated access to the back yard and rear sheds. On the corner of the site sits a traditional centuries old traditional cottage. The cottage is currently used as a pottery and has the potential to be restored into additional accommodation for guests or rental.
This special property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
