300-year-old farmhouse with an A-rated extension hits the market for €650,000
This charming four-bed home in Clooncaura, Co Limerick has been completely refurbished.
OVERLOOKING DROMORE LAKE, The Cloon is a large farmhouse that’s three centuries old.
Yet walk around the back and you’ll meet the A-rated add-on that completely modernises this four-bed home. Clearly, this house is a clever mix of old and new seeing as this extension is not visible from the front.
The original house benefited from the extension as it has been rewired, plumbed and insulated well with Kingspan in the ceiling, walls and the floors.
This makes this old house warm and comfortable all year around, which is a great bonus to a BER exempt home.
With great flow from each room to the next, the spaces are bright, airy and modern. The kitchen and dining space is filled with great storage and is well kitted out
Once a bedroom, the sitting room provides an extra space to entertain in, too.
Every room has a nice touch or two, whether it’s the largest with its own walk-in wardrobe and bathroom or the bedroom with French doors that open out onto the yard.
The shared family bathroom was formerly an old storage shed but is now finished in striking red tiles.
There is an interesting fourth bedroom which was once spread over two-storeys. It now has really high ceilings and a fitted wardrobe that has been built into the old door way to the dining room.
The house also comes complete with a few modern touches, from already installed CCTV to wiring for high speed fibre optic broadband. This could be the perfect place for anyone who loves the flexibility and privacy that comes with remote working.
Bleach Lough and Dromore Lake flank this picturesque farmhouse and its countryside location definitely informed the modern extension that has a large window to the front of to provides super views.
And with six acres to play with along with an 80 ft x 80 ft stables and shed, no doubt the next owner will have their work cut out for them.
Clooncaura, Kildimo, Co Limerick is on the market for €650,000 through Remax Professional Partners.
