The cosy sitting room enjoys a charming bay window overlooking the gardens and is centred around a beautiful marble fireplace complete with a Stanley stove insert, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Completing the living accommodation is a stunning sun lounge with a vaulted ceiling and French doors opening onto the patio and beautifully landscaped rear gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
There are four well proportioned bedrooms, all finished with attractive wood-effect floor tiling. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and pocket-door access to a beautifully appointed wet room ensuite. The luxurious family bathroom is fully tiled and incorporates both a relaxing bath and a contemporary walk-in wet-room style shower.
Outside, the mature grounds are a true highlight. Established trees, shrubs and flowering plants create a private oasis, complemented by fruit trees, a productive vegetable garden, a polytunnel and a spacious patio ideal for outdoor entertaining. A detached garage, plumbed for laundry appliances, together with a separate workshop/storage shed complete with lighting and power, provides exceptional versatility for hobbies, storage or home projects.
The property enjoys a highly desirable location on the outskirts of Carlow Town, offering the tranquillity of country living without compromising on convenience.
