Description
It is with great pleasure that we introduce 'Kings River House' to the market, a unique modern 5 bedroom residence located in the esteemed townland of Ennisnag, Stoneyford, known for its prestigious residences, lush countryside and stunning vistas.
Situated within the Kings River valley, this most impressive residence enjoys a commanding elevated position with breathtaking views over the Kings River as it slowly meanders the local countryside below.
Architect designed by renowned architect Nicky Fewer and built in 2007, this most spacious of homes extends circa. 403 sq.m (circa. 4,337 sq.ft) and has been strategically placed on its circa.1 acre plot to make the most of its sunny disposition and commanding scenic views.
Situated in Ennisnag, a splayed stone entrance with electronic entrance gates and tarmac driveway leads gently down to the main residence. One could be forgiven for mistaking it for a more modest residence such is its discreet & clever design fitting seamlessly in to its manicured and landscaped surroundings. However, it is to the rear of the property that reveals the true extent of what really is on offer.
Purpose built for the current owners, this spacious and luxurious home has been future proofed with numerous improvements and additions over the years resulting in a comfortable and ecologically efficient home boasting an enviable A2 energy rating.
Entering the property, double doors lead to a spacious and welcoming entrance foyer with extra high floor to ceiling heights including decorative moulding and recessed downlighting while a feature stone fireplace with inset solid fuel stove provides the main focal point. Beyond, double doors lead to the main reception room which will most certainly leave one amazed, such are the magnificent views. Extra high ceilings coupled with several large bay windows frame the truly beautiful vista beyond making this room a real haven of serenity. Immediately adjacent, a bright and spacious dining room interconnects with both the main living room and the open plan kitchen area, ideal for entertaining or family gatherings. Perfect for alfresco dining, an outside sun terrace is also accessible from all of the main reception rooms underlining the foresight and consideration for the functionality of this home at the design stage.
Definitely a cook's kitchen, the attractive bespoke wall and floor cabinetry are finished in a high quality Ivory gloss, while the work surfaces are of select timber and Ivory granite. A highly functional kitchen island with an impressive array of clever storage facilities is fitted with various high-grade appliances. The main kitchen area has a bright and spacious open plan arrangement with vaulted ceilings and bay window overlooking both the Kings River and landscaped gardens beyond.
Directly off the kitchen, a back porch / hallway leads to a generous plumbed utility room with ample wall and floor presses including worktop and single drainer sink. Next door, an adjoining garage has ample space for up to two vehicles and is fitted with an electronic retractable door.
Two double bedrooms, a tastefully appointed shower room and a separate guest WC complete the ground floor accommodation.
Below ground, there is a wine cellar and a large room with pedestrian access to the outside gardens. This room is currently in use for storage but could accommodate many other uses.
Up on top, a bespoke solid timber staircase leads to the first floor landing. Bright and spacious with luxury cream carpets, the owners have cleverly used part of this space for use as a home office. A series of doors leads to three large double bedrooms, all of which enjoy ensuite bathroom facilities.
The master bedroom is very generous in size and is most impressive with double glass doors opening on to an outside decked sun terrace. Adjacent, a large walk-in wardrobe is fitted with ample shelving and rails. Next door, a master ensuite bathroom is tastefully appointed with marble wall and floor tiles including a bath and separate shower cubicle.
