Imposing period property with spectacular views onto the River Shannon Shannon View is an imposing period property set on stunning mature grounds and extending to about 2 acres in total. Situated on the fringe of the popular village of Castleconnell, the property enjoys all of the amenities that the village has to offer as well as spectacular views onto the River Shannon. The house is approached through stone wall piers and wrought iron gates which open to an attractive sweeping driveway, under mature trees and lined partially by box hedging and a newly constructed fence which leads to the front of the house. Shannon View is a three-bay, two-storey, over basement house, beneath a hipped slated roof. Built in c. 1830, as a residence for the local land manager, the exterior of the house includes prominent features such as roughcast rendered walls, timber sash windows with limestone sills, an arched doorcase with cobweb fanlight and flanking Ionic columns which is approached by stone steps. The property was fully refurbished in c. 1989 and redecorated in 2022. There was a new roof constructed using period slates in c. 1998 . The light-filled accommodation is of generous and elegant proportions, as shown on the accompanying plans.
