Description

Nestled at the village crossroads - in view of Barna Church - is this lovely traditional Victorian Irish Farmhouse, which was thoughtfully modernised and extended in recent years. Lots of natural light streams through the house interior, as most of the rooms have either a dual aspect or at least two windows. Barna is a special countryside location - it has the benefit of wide landscape views of neighbouring farms and elevated hills. And it is just an 8 minute (8.1km) drive from the Obama Plaza/M7 Motorway Junction (Exit 23), ideal for daily commuters to Dublin and Limerick. Outside, there is a small Paddock, three old stone outbuildings and a fuel store. Farm buildings include a large modern galvenised Haybarn, with adjoining lean-to, ideal for all types of hobbies, vehicle storage etc. This barn can be excluded from the sale if the buyer so wishes, and the sale price will be lowered accordingly (the optional barn and outbuilding are details within the last 6 photos). One of the directly adjoining outbuildings would be particularly suitable for conversion for use as additional accommodation in the future, such as a home office, gym, playroom etc.

Accommodation

GROUND FLOOR: A green PVC doors leads to an entrance lobby (1.1 m x 1m). The floor is tiled and this lobby is an open plan design to the living area. The Living Area measures 4.5m x 4.3m, it is an open plan layout, which is connected to the kitchen/dining area. A large solid fuel stove (fitted with a backboiler) has a tall timber surround, ideal for the placement of ornaments. The Living Area leads seamlessly to the Kitchen/Dining Area (4.3m x 3.8m). This is a dual aspect open-plan area, with two windows (1 to the west, 1 to the south) and a sliding patio door sits to the right, all bringing light to this room almost from sunrise to sunset. The kitchen units have a beech finish. A washing machine is fitted among these units. The nearby Shower Room (2.4m x 2.37m) houses a shower, w.c. and hot press. The hall beside the Shower Room measures 1.3 m x 2.3m. From here, it may be possible to extend the house into the adjoining outbuildings in the future. The Sitting Room (3.8m x 3.4m) is also a dual aspect room. FIRST FLOOR: There are four bedrooms, all of which could accomodate at least double sized beds. Bedroom 1 is 3.5m x 3.9m and has a dual aspect view over the front and rear of the house and also a skylight. Bedroom 2 is 3.9m x 2.9m - it has two similar-sized windows, which overlook the front of the house. Bedroom 3 is 2.95m x 3.65m and it overlooks the back of the property/the yard, while Bedroom 4 is 3.95m x 2.55m and overlooks the front of the house. The Family Bathroom has a tiled floor, bath and a W.C., it is light by a skylight. The corridoor between these rooms measures 5.9m x 1.06m. All of these rooms have either laminate wood floors or cream floor tiles.

Features

* The main body of the house was constructed with stone over 100 years ago. In 2006, a modern kitchen extension was added. At this time, the house interior was insulated with dry-lining to all walls. * The front of the house is almost east facing, so a lovely evening sunlight floods the back of the house in the evenings. * Windows are double glazed, in white frames. All facia and soffits are pvc. * The central heating system is dual fired - via both an oil boiler and a solid fuel burning cast iron stove, which has a back boiler fitted. * Freehold Title: Folio OY1239. Site Area: About 0.5 Acres (not including the Haybarn and it's surrounds). * The Haybarn with its adjoining lean-two has an internal floor area of about 60 feet wide by 45 feet deep. * Waste drainage by a septic tank. Water is supplied from the community mains system.
