ONLY A SHORT DRIVE from Tullamore town and just over an hour from Dublin lies a thatched Offaly home that is nothing short of a fairytale.
Packed with medieval charm, the three-bedroom home has stone external walls, a thatched roof and a water fountain, all built on 0.9 acres of landscaped, split-level gardens.
Entered via electronic gates, the property also has two large garage/work sheds, one of cut-stone with a slate roof and the other with a steel frame and mixed cladding – all for €395,000.
Inside, the property oozes medieval charm with cut stone walls, decorative feature plasterwork, timber beams and medieval-style doors throughout.
The home includes an entrance hall, reception area, two living rooms, a formal dining room (seen above) with views of the landscaped gardens, kitchen, utility room, main bathroom, conservatory, three first floor bedrooms, of which the master has a walk-in wardrobe in the attic space.
The main hallway features a solid oak floor, vaulted ceiling and an internal fairy waterfall feature, while the castle-themed living room (seen above) has an open feature fireplace with a stone hearth.
There are three bedrooms in the property including a semi-circle shaped master bedroom with pine floors and cut-stone walls with beam features to the ceiling, a spiral staircase to a walk-in wardrobe and views of the garden.
On the landing double doors lead out to a pretty balcony with a seating area overlooking the gardens and the Slieve Bloom Mountains to the rear of the house.
