A Spacious Detached Bungalow With Canine & Equestrian Facilities

 

The property is located in the heart of Ireland, in a rural position and situated on a quite country lane on the outskirts of the village. The property is easily commutable to Birr or Roscrea and Shannon airport (Ryanair) is only 40 miles away. Over recent years the property has been tastefully extended and renovated to provide a good sized family home comprising four bedrooms, family bathroom, hallway, lounge with vaulted ceiling and feature fireplace, dining room and a fitted kitchen breakfast room. Outside the property sits back off this quiet country lane which serves a handful of other properties and has two separate gated accesses leading to a private driveway to the house, the other leading past a derelict cottage which has planning permission pending to create a separate dwelling. The drive continues to the stabling and kennelling areas which afford an American barn with 8 stables, 3 further stables, large barn, 50m x 23m manege, horse walker and paddocks. The canine facilities include 11 kennels plus 2 whelping boxes, dog kitchen, office and a treatment room.
