Description

Delightful restored and extended period house (1890) together with guest cottage, indoor heated swimming pool, 6.5 acres of colourful grounds and lake frontage. Carried out over a 2 year period (1999/2000) the total restoration, with great care taken to preserve the period character, involved stripping the house back to the bare bones and virtually rebuilding, with concrete floors on the ground and first floors, reroofing, wiring, plumbing and the installation of oil fired central heating and double glazing throughout. Not satisfied with just undertaking the enormous restoration of the house the owners added a further sitting room and impressive entertainment room as well as the spacious indoor swimming pool which is currently floored for a family wedding. All outbuildings were also restored including the coach house which is now a 2 bedroom guest cottage/mews and the charming summer house which with its terrace overlooks the grounds. The property is discreetly tucked away off the Dublin/Cavan/Donegal Road between Virginia 6Km, and Cavan 23 Km. A 50-minute drive to J6 M50 and 60 minutes to Dublin Airport.
