BUILT ALONG THE BANKS of the Avonmore River and right in the heart of the Vale of Clara, this wonderfully spacious family home began as a workman’s cottage created using the same Wicklow granite found in the area.
Now comprising 320 square metres of living space and one acre of woodland to wander through, the four-bedroom home is minutes’ drive from Laragh, Glendalough and Rathdrum and only an hour from Dublin.
Granite Lodge is on sale for €995,000.
The house opens to an eye-catching central hallway that features flagstone flooring, a double-height ceiling, a cantilevered maple wood staircase and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with light.
The sitting room is designed to feel like a grand tree house, perched on the upper level of this fine home, with direct access to the wrap-around veranda overlooking the valley, solid timber flooring, a double height ceiling and a raised fireplace for winter nights.
Elsewhere, the house has another cosy sitting room that formed part of the original cottage and includes a solid fuel cast-iron stove and garden views from the windows.
The spacious master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, with French doors that lead to the veranda overlooking the gardens.
The striking granite home also includes a games room, sun room, office and kitchen with granite worktops.
