Extended cottage with extensive lake frontage on about 11.5 acres
Lough Talt occupies a prime position offering wonderful views across the lake. The original cottage was built in c. 1900 and was extended and extensively refurbished in 2002 by the current owners. The house now provides comfortable accommodation laid out over two levels and enjoys an elevated south facing position overlooking the water.
The attractive stone wall entrance gently leads to a parking area at the side of the house. A welcoming half door opens into a bright open-plan kitchen / dining / sitting room which has a rustic yet contemporary feel, sympathetically blending the traditional Irish country cottage with modern living standards. Continuing through to the left is a most impressive sitting room which features exposed oak wooden beams, multi fuel stove and French doors which open out to a decked terrace area, ideal for al-fresco dining and enjoying the peaceful waterside surroundings.
An inner hallway gives access off the dining room and leads past the utility room to the bedroom corridor which consists of a master bedroom suite and a second double bedroom. There is also a third ground floor bedroom and a toilet which is accessed off the living room.
Steps lead up to the first floor which comprises of a mezzanine level which doubles as a library with feature fitted bookshelves. There is a tv room / office, toilet and a child's play / sleeping area also upstairs.
