ORIGINALLY DATING TO the 1920s, Charnwood has been well maintained over the years resulting in a beautiful home that feels timeless yet modern. Extending to about 372 m, Charnwood has an impressive amount of space and a great sense of light, without being overwhelming.
The entrance hall sets the tone from the moment you step inside. A dramatic double-height space, complete with handcrafted staircase, Canadian oak flooring and bespoke stained-glass detailing, creates a striking first impression while hinting at the craftsmanship found throughout the home. Elegant coving and carefully chosen finishes add even more refinement.
Designed for both entertaining and everyday family life, the ground floor unfolds into a series of well proportioned reception rooms. The formal front drawing room is filled with natural light from an impressive bay window and centres around a feature fireplace, while adjoining reception spaces provide a more relaxed atmosphere with wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves adding warmth and character.
French doors connect seamlessly to the garden, allowing indoor and outdoor living to merge during the spring and summer months.
At the heart of the home lives the kitchen and dining space. Handmade timber cabinetry, granite worktops and a big island combine practicality and luxury, while natural limestone flooring and feature lighting elevate the room’s contemporary feel. Large glazed doors open directly onto the south-facing deck, creating an ideal setting for summer dining and entertaining.
A bespoke walk-in pantry and fully fitted utility room add to the functionality of the space, while adjoining reception areas and the sunroom ensures great flow and a sociable layout throughout.
The sunroom itself provides a peaceful retreat overlooking the landscaped back garden, flooded with natural light and perfectly positioned to enjoy the home’s prized south-facing orientation.
The rooms on the first floor are equally impressive. Five generously sized bedrooms provide flexibility for growing families, guests or working from home. The main suite is a luxurious space, complete with a fully fitted dressing room and an elegant en suite bathroom featuring dual marble sinks and a spacious walk-in shower.
Several of the bedrooms incorporate mezzanine levels, introducing versatile extra space ideal for study areas, creative spaces or extra places for beds. Bay windows, Velux rooflights and a mix of timber and carpeted flooring add personality and warmth throughout the upper floor.
Beyond the main spaces, Charnwood has a few surprises. A charming basement wine cellar introduces an unexpected touch of character, while a detached building offers further flexibility as a gym, home office, studio or extra storage.
Outside, the property enjoys its privacy behind gated access and a generous cobblelock driveway with lots of parking. To the back, the landscaped garden has been designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with an elevated American oak deck leading down to patio and lawn areas that make the most of the sunny aspect.
While rich in heritage and architectural character, the home is also exceptionally practical for modern living, featuring zoned gas heating, a floored attic and a range of quality inclusions that allow new owners to move in with ease.
Charnwood is a home that balances period elegance with the ease and comfort of contemporary family living. Positioned on the North Circular Road, it offers a blend of privacy, character and considered interiors, all within minutes of Limerick city centre.
Charnwood, North Circular Road, North Circular Road, Co Limerick is on the market for €1,175,000.
