Description

It is difficult to accurately describe in words the beauty of Roylynn at Douglas Lawn. The old adage of a picture paints a thousand words could not be truer. This is a splendid four bedroomed detached bungalow which has been recently upgraded and brought to today?s modern standards with a twist. It occupies a private corner site in a mature setting with every possible convenience you could think of within a stroll of its front door. It has a charm and character that is obvious the minute you arrive outside, from its choice of deep green external paint colour to the impactful black used in the windows, front door, facia and soffits. This home is ready to walk into for the right purchaser. Upgraded in recent years the property boasts approx. 1890 sq. ft. of accommodation and has no less than an impressive B2 energy rating ensuring any would be buyer can avail of the favourable green mortgages in the marketplace. The sensation of space is immediate as you step inside the double front door to a charming entrance hall which leads through into a beautiful open plan space where all living functions blend together, but could, with ease be separated into four distinct rooms. The current owners have left down these dividing walls and as a result the space is breathtaking. The attention to detail, the level of finish, the quality of fittings abounds throughout this home which needs to be seen to truly appreciate it. There is character in every twist and turn of this home. Built originally in 1960 and turned on its head in recent years the elements of charm of the 1960?s build makes sure to keep the spaces interesting. The property is fitted with underfloor heating in the main living rooms via a heat pump located in the rear garden. The interior design within this home keeps things simple to give maximum impact. There are plantation shutters to allow the natural light in at all times while keeping the privacy in all of the rooms. The use of the same walnut wood floor running throughout the living spaces combine with the continuation of the same neutral paint scheme further accentuating the area of this home. Windows are black and sit well in their individual spots with a range of opening traditional sash to fixed picture panes. Doors to the rear are custom designed again in black with bars set within the glazing. The accommodation gives an entrance hall with its own fireplace, a living room again with its own fireplace, family room (with fireplace), dining room looking out onto the rear enclosed private garden, kitchen arranged in a U shape, a pantry and utility room complete the function rooms of this home. Additional to this are two en-suite double bedrooms, a third double bedroom and a fourth bedroom currently taking up the use as a home office. A family bathroom completes the internal accommodation. Set on a private corner site the outside of this home is as appealing in equal measure to that inside. The owners have created nooks tracking all day sunshine and have landscaped these spaces according to their use. The front is private, accessed via piers (fitted with electricity to take privacy gates) and gives plenty of parking for two cars. There is a lawned garden to the front with mature planting creating a privacy to the front and side gardens. There is a path around the property with privacy gate fitted leading to the rear gardens. The rear gardens wrap the property and are lawned and enclosed. A limestone laid patio sits in a central position for outdoor eating and relaxing. A second cosy patio is set off the dining room and is more of a breakfast or early morning coffee spot. Mature hedging encloses this rear garden and combine with a host of mature plants giving a permanent colour of green to be looked out on at all times of the year. The inclusion of a garden shed takes care of all storage and gardening needs. The location of this home in the heart of Douglas Village is sure to be sought after. Originally a separate village, the growth of both the village and the city has meant Douglas has become incorporated into the city over time. Douglas now offers a host of recreational facilities and sports clubs. The village itself enjoys a selection of restaurant and night life venues. Schools at both primary and second level are well catered for and can all be reached by strolling from this home. There are regular bus services to the city centre and with two independent shopping centres at Douglas Court and Douglas Village there is very little need to leave this beautiful residential suburb. Cork Airport is a short 10 minute drive from this home. Viewing is highly recommended and strictly by appointment.
