Magazine-quality décor, a lush back garden and a sought-after address make this property at College Hill one that stands out from the average.

Located in the upmarket College Hill estate, a short stroll from the town itself and within easy reach of a host of amenities, this house benefits from having a countryside feel to it.

This home was renovated and extended in the recent past all under the expert eye of an interior designer, and it shows. The minute you step inside the front door, the attention to detail and quality become immediately apparent.

The garden was also expertly designed and benefits from a panoramic aspect. This house boasts many extras: a wonderful bright conservatory with access to the patio area in the garden; a large downstairs bedroom with an en suite (wheelchair accessible) bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. This room lends itself to a multitude of uses from independent living to a convenient work from home office.

The main living room has at its centre a beautiful open fire with marble surround and granite hearth, which brings a lovely cosy feel to this classy and spacious sitting room. The connectivity of the kitchen conservatory and main living room leaves this semi-open-plan area tailor made for large family gatherings.

The kitchen is the heart of every home and this kitchen really is the centrepiece of this house. Designed for functionality and style, the fitted units and granite worktop are in great condition, as are the electrical appliances, which include a Zanussi cooker, hob and fridge.

Also included in the sale are the washing machine and dryer.

On the first floor there are two double rooms, of which one is en suite, a single room and a family bathroom. This property is not overlooked front and rear.

A three-minute walk will get you to the stunning grounds of St Finian’s College and Lough Owel and the nine-hole pitch and putt club adjacent to it are a couple of minutes’ drive away.
