A riverside retreat in Tipperary with direct access to the water for €595,000
7 Sweet Auburn is one of 10 architect designed detached homes.
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT a home being close to water that instantly makes it a popular choice for house hunters. Add in a build that benefits from real architectural flair and there’s no doubt the property will be on many peoples’ must-view lists.
7 Sweet Auburn is one such house. A four-bed detached family home that stands on .6 of an acre, this home offers not only luxurious living spaces but also direct access to the serene waters of the River Suir.
Situated on a site of .6 acres, 7 Sweet Auburn is part of a prestigious enclave comprising only ten architect-designed detached homes. This exclusive development marries elegance and space with panoramic views that encompass the River Suir, the historic Ormonde Castle, and the Slievenamon mountain.
Number 7 is now on sale for €595,000. In terms of size and location, it may not stay on the market for long.
The house has a generous floor area of 260 m² and the sense of space starts from the entrance hallway that leads to an expansive family sitting room flooded with natural light.
The main social space is open plan and comprises the kitchen, dining space and a living area that has panoramic views of the surrounding Tipperary landscape. The kitchen is made from sturdy solid oak and the open space features a gas fireplace.
On this first floor level, there is also a well-appointed office or playroom along with a convenient utility room. There is also a raised balcony on this level that lets you enjoy barbecues host friends with a difference.
The home’s interesting layout means the bedrooms live on the lower ground floor. Of the four bedrooms, the main is a generously-sized space with a dressing area, its own bathroom and doors to the outdoor patio. The rest of the bedrooms are all doubles, too, and they share the family bathroom.
The exterior of 7 Sweet Auburn features two driveways and a lush front garden that’s filled with mature trees. However, the highlight is undoubtedly the south-facing back garden that’s spread across two levels. The upper level is laid in manicured lawns, a herb garden and fruit trees along with a spacious patio. The lower stretches down to the riverbank.
Number 7′s unique feature lies in this direct access to the river, making it an inviting spot for water enthusiasts and fans of fishing who could do it all in the comfort of their own back garden.
On top of everything, the home enjoys a commendable C3 BER, thanks to gas-fired central heating and PVC double-glazed windows. A few more updates are sure to bring the rating up higher.
And the house’s connection to the town is another major brownie point – Carrick-on-Suir is a mere five minute walk away. For anyone craving space and convenience in a beautiful part of Ireland, 7 Sweet Auburn could be just the spot.
