Description
If ever a property had to be seen to be appreciated, then this is it. This traditional stone cottage, which was renovated to a high standard 20 years ago is accompanied by the most wonderfully ornate gardens that need to be seen to be believed. The property comes to the market in excellent condition both internally and externally. The house, originally a traditional stone cottage, has been carefully renovated to preserve as much character as possible, while also making it a comfortable, modern home. It has also been extended in recent years and has been finished to an excellent standard.The stunning 3 acre site combines lawns, wooded areas and flower gardens. The gardens have been likened to Monty Dons "Longmeadow", with a "rooms" layout, with each "room" having its own style, ranging from the jungle to an English cottage garden. There is an abundance of different plants, flowers and shrubs, as well as designated space for wild flowers to flourish. This is complimented by an orchard with eating and cooking apples and a small forest area to the rear. The gardens were featured as part of the "Clew Bay Garden Trail" last year. and are truly a gardener's (and pollinator's!) paradise. The area is dense with wildlife, and it is very common to see deer and pine martens to mention but a few animals strolling through the wooded areas! To the side of the property, there is a large shed and large glasshouse. There is also a beautiful stone granary close to the cottage which offers the potential for renovation and additional accommodation.The cherry on top of this property is the peace and tranquillity that is on offer. While it is still only 9km from Swinford and 11km from Foxford, the quiet country lane that the house sits off has very little passing traffic, and the surrounding thick forest offers privacy and shelter from the elements. Located in the foothills of the Ox mountains and close to the river Moy and Callow lakes there is an abundance of country walks in the area.There are turbary rights attached to the folio giving you the right to cut turf for your winter fuel.To see current offers or place your own offer on this property, please visit SherryFitz.ie and register for your mySherryFitz account.
