Standing back from the road, and accessed by a broad curving driveway, a new listing on Property Partners Maxwell and Heaslip books is well worth consideration by prospective buyers looking for a substantial family home in a great location.
For generations Menlo has been a closely guarded secret. It is an eagerly sought address for those wishing to combine all the delights of rural living with proximity to the city centre.
Within two miles of Eyre Square, Menlo is a truly idyllic setting. Hugging the shores of Lough Corrib, the area has myriad small boreens and meandering byroads. The village of Menlo is a loosely arranged cluster of old world cottages, and the local primary school.
This property just off Monument Road is an imposing two storey residence on a large site of more than half an acre, and surrounded by a fine array of oak, ash, and beech trees.
The house itself is well laid out and designed for comfortable family living. A large bright tiled hall opens on either side to two reception rooms both fitted with solid pine floors. The living/dining room has an attractive open fire with polished timber mantel and surround, and decorative Victorian tiled inserts. A large sunroom with solid vaulted roof opens off the living room and has access on both sides to a decked area facing east and west. The sunroom is tiled in a matching pattern to the hallway.
A large family kitchen/informal dining room has a full range of oak units with sliding patio doors to the rear garden. The utility is also fully fitted with storage units and plumbed for white goods. A guest wc off the utility is also tiled, and is adjacent to a room with solid timber floors, perfect for a playroom or home office.
At first floor level are four generous double bedrooms ( master bedroom with ensuite shower room ) and a large family bathroom, fully tiled with a free standing glass fronted shower unit and a large luxurious bath. All the bedrooms and the landing have solid pine floors.
Added to the fine living space on the ground and first floor are two further timber clad rooms on the second floor, one being an extra large bedroom and the second fitted as a home sauna or storage room.
Space abounds both inside and out, added to which is a large detached double garage with a pitched roof.
A reserve of €460,000 has been placed on the property. For more information contact Alan Maxwell at Property Partners Maxwell and Heaslip at (091 ) 565261
