Discreetly magnificent is one way of describing this modern-day mansion located just 10 minutes out of Mullingar, which has gone up for sale via Sherry FitzGerald, Davitt and Davitt.

The auctioneers themselves say the 3,000 square foot home, which stands on a site of five acres and which has its own stables, is “truly exceptional”, and they are not exaggerating.

The home benefited from a full renovation in 2020 that transformed it into a more open-plan style, and introduced many extra features.

Among those is an awesome patio/BBQ area with fireplace in the south-facing rear garden.

The decor is stylish and tasteful, right from entry into the large airy hallway with its eyecatching tiled floor, right through to the sage-coloured granite-topped country-style kitchen – a key feature of which is a hidden pantry.

The living room, which boasts an inset solid fuel stove with limestone surround, connects via double doors to the sheltered patio/BBQ area and via feature sliding doors to the kitchen.

An archway leads from the kitchen to the light-filled sun room with flagstone tiled floors and double doors to the patio/BBQ area.

Off the kitchen is a utility room with tiled floor, extra storage, Belfast sink and guest toilet. An office/guest bedroom with semi solid timber floor completes the ground floor.

The first floor comprises a landing with semi-solid timber floor, giving access to the four bedrooms, all with semi solid timber floor, fitted wardrobes, shelving, Velux windows and timber shutters, while the primary comes with an impressive en-suite.

The main family bathroom is a fully tiled three-piece suite with pump shower and rain water head fitted in-bath.

Outside, the property comes with a block-built detached garage with loft, three stables, four paddocks, a featured pond and a polytunnel.

The property is fully alarmed, and has electric security gates; borehole water and its own septic tank.
