Description

Summerhill House is a captivating large family country home with breathtaking views and direct private lake access to Lough Ervey, providing an ideal setting for fishing and various water activities. The presence of beautiful swans further enhances the charm of the lake, while the evenings offer a treat with stunning sunsets over the water. Nestled within a picturesque 38-acre (15.4 Hectares) compact estate in well-timbered (14 acres) pastural rolling countryside the house was built to the highest standards in 2008, incorporating modern styling and conveniences throughout but, magnificently, incorporating crisply cut limestone original to the now demolished Summerhill House, a grand Georgian mansion built in 1731. Remarkably, all the stone adorning the new house have been created and repurposed from the original and includes arches, coin stones, columns and a mischievous gargoyle. Upon entering the house, one is immediately captivated by its grandeur. The entrance hall features a remarkable 7.2-meter (23.7 feet) pitched ceiling, adorned with exquisite fossil limestone flooring that extends throughout the main reception areas, including the living room, dining area, kitchen, and sunroom. Each room is equally impressive, with thoughtful positioning to maximize the breathtaking elevated views of Lough Ervey. The living room boasts a soaring 6.2-meter (20.4 feet) pitched ceiling, with double doors that lead to the gardens. The kitchen is equipped with solid oak cabinets, a double AGA cooking stove, and a large central breakfast island, seamlessly connecting to a stone flagged outdoor seating area through glazed double doors. The sunroom, elevated by steps, offers a panoramic view of Lough Ervey with its pitched ceiling and tall windows. Another highlight is the stunning sitting room with a striking domed ceiling, creating a tranquil space perfect for relaxation. Continuing down the hall, curvaceous walls guide you to the main bathroom, a family room, and two ground floor bedroom suites, each with an ensuite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms on the upper floor each with ensuite bathrooms to give a total of 5 bedrooms. The generous master bedroom suite is accessed via a curved main staircase. A second staircase leads to a large landing and the two other bedroom suites. Adjacent to the main house, there is an annex built to the same high specifications. With poured concrete floors, insulation matching the main house, warm roof, and underfloor heating on both the ground and first floors, this annex offers versatility. Its south-facing orientation optimizes the positioning for solar panels. The annex is also pre-plumbed for bathrooms, and a kitchen accommodating future needs. The presence of an old stone two storey farmhouse and several outbuildings on the grounds of the property provides an exciting opportunity for renovation, which can be facilitated through available grants for derelict homes. With a separate entrance and a location conveniently positioned off the main drive, these outbuildings possess tremendous potential. Its primary attraction lies in its awe-inspiring views, which encompass the picturesque Lough Ervey and the majestic rolling mountains. The property's direct access to the lake further enhances its appeal; the breathtaking surroundings create a serene atmosphere, inviting residents and visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature. Nestled in a prime location, offering the perfect blend of convenience, luxury, space, and serenity. Situated a mere 5-minute drive from the town of Kingscourt, it allows residents and visitors quick access to local amenities and services. Additionally, the bustling town of Navan is just a short 30-minute drive away, providing even more options for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The home maintains a peaceful and secluded atmosphere, ensuring a serene retreat for those seeking a harmonious balance between accessibility and tranquillity.
