WITH THE IRISH countryside as its backdrop, yet just a 50-minute drive from Dublin, Esker View offers your chance to buy a spacious, well-connected five-bed. Finished to a high standard, this special home offers 280 m² of floor space that’s thoughtfully laid and standing on a sprawling, beautifully landscaped 1.33 acre site in County Westmeath.
What’s more is that it has an impressive B2 energy rating, so cosiness will be high and bills will be low – no mean feat for a house of this size.
Built in 2005, Esker View blends classical elegance with contemporary design and functionality. From the moment you go through the electric wrought iron gates, the home impresses with its sweeping pebbled driveway, manicured lawns and countryside setting. Every inch of the property, both inside and out, has been well looked after.
Step inside and you’re welcomed into a grand marble-floored entrance hall, immediately setting the tone for the elegance that’s to come. Large bay windows flood the interiors with natural light, a feature repeated throughout the home’s main rooms. High ceilings and a calm, neutral palette give a sense of lightness and tranquillity, while recessed lighting, solid Beech internal doors and premium fixtures provide a subtle sense of refinement.
Three versatile reception rooms offer flexibility for growing families or those who love to entertain. Whether you’re hosting friends in the formal sitting room, enjoying a quiet evening by the log-effect fire in the media room, or basking in the evening glow in the sunroom, the home’s layout lends itself perfectly to both relaxation and celebration.
The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is a real showstopper. Hand-painted in-frame cabinetry, quartz countertops and top-of-the-range integrated appliances make it a space as functional as it is beautiful. A breakfast bay with panoramic garden views, a dual-aspect log-burning stove and access to a back patio complete this warm and inviting space, perfect for year-round indoor-outdoor living.
On the ground floor, you’ll also find a generously sized double bedroom, luxurious wet room, utility room and ample storage throughout. Upstairs, four further double bedrooms await, including a main suite with super countryside views, a walk-in wardrobe and a hotel-style en suite bathroom complete with both bath and separate shower.
Esker View’s gardens aren’t an afterthought – they’re a defining feature of this home. Enclosed by mature trees, fencing and neatly clipped Whitethorn hedging, the grounds provide privacy, colour and peace. The natural stone patio enjoys a prime south-westerly aspect – the perfect setting for barbecues, evening drinks or lazy afternoons.
A separate domestic garage, workshop and even an outdoor toilet facility provide further versatility.
While the property itself offers peace and luxury, the surrounding area opens the door to plenty of activities. Enjoy water activities at nearby Lough Lene or Lough Derravaragh, hike the scenic Loughcrew Hills or explore the mystical Fore Abbey. Golfers are spoilt for choice, while walkers and cyclists will love the nearby Royal Canal Greenway.
The property is well placed for commuters, located just outside the village of Delvin and easily accessible to major national routes including the N52, N51, M3, M4 and M6. For those seeking countryside serenity without sacrificing convenience, Esker View offers the best of both worlds.
Esker View, Ballinvalley is on the market for €675,000 through Quillsen.
