About this property

  • Cappagh Stone House is a beautiful modern property set on an elevated position with spectacular views overlooking the River Nore and mature countryside. Extending to about 2
    acres in total, the property is situated in a private setting yet is conveniently located just moments away from the picturesque village of Inistioge.

    The house is accessed via an impressive stone-pillard entrance with beautiful wooden electric controlled gates which open to an attractive driveway flanked by flowerbeds and mature hedging that lead to the front of the house. Constructed in 2008, this architecturally designed property has a beautiful stone exterior and large floor-to-ceiling windows which have been cleverly positioned to take advantage of the wonderful country views.

    The light-filled accommodation is of generous and elegant proportions, as shown on the accompanying plans and is well laid out for modern day family living and entertaining in equal measure. The detail and finishes are notable internally with features including beautiful wooden floors, tiled bathrooms and a bespoke kitchen.

    Leading up to the front door is a beautiful flagstone path with a small bespoke fountain. The accommodation is entered through a curved entrance hall with skylight which leads to the main reception rooms. The open plan kitchen/dining room is a focal point of the house with wonderfully crafted and extensive range of floor and wall mounted units as well as an island and Esse cooker. Positioned to the front of the house, the kitchen and living room are interconnecting with a glass wall which allows for maximum natural light and
    panoramic views.

    Cappagh Stone House is well suited for working from home with a well-proportioned office situated to the rear of the property with double doors opening out onto the courtyard. Also on the ground floor is a games room, sitting room, utility, store, bathroom and access to the garage with an up and over rolling door.

    The bedroom accommodation is predominately laid out over the first floor and is accessed via the main staircase which opens onto a spacious landing. The landing leads to two good sized bedrooms and a bathroom. The master bedroom suite is also located on this floor and features a large window capturing the magnificent views. An additional bedroom suite is situated on the ground floor.

    ROOFTOP GARDEN & COURTYARD
    The first floor gives access to the beautiful roof garden which offers a unique and tranquil place to appreciate the stunning scenery.

    To the rear of the property is a walled courtyard which is extremely private and includes a barbeque area to one side. This sun trapped courtyard also offers a number of fruit trees including fig, pear, kiwi and apple trees, along with wonderful wisteria along the walls.

    GARDENS & GROUNDS
    The house sits amidst wonderful mature gardens which are mainly laid to lawn and include magnificent flower beds, fine specimen trees and well-tended hedges. A notable feature is the rock garden with shrubs which surrounds the rear of the house as well as all plants having an automatic watering system connected. A small paddock is situated to the front of the boundary and is a perfect area to turnout a horse or pony.
