Description

Clement Herron Real Estate is proud to bring to market ‘Upper Rossmore’ a truly exceptional detached residence nestled on c.10 acres of enchanting private woodland, complete with a tranquil meandering stream. This unique property is located in the peaceful and elevated hills of Killeshin, offering an idyllic countryside setting with breath taking, uninterrupted views over Carlow town and beyond. Despite its serene and secluded position, the home enjoys convenient access to nearby towns. It is just a 20-minute drive from the vibrant centre of Carlow town, providing all necessary amenities including schools, supermarkets, restaurants, shopping centres, and excellent public transport links. Portlaoise is within easy reach at just thirty minutes away, offering further retail, educational and commuter services, while Kilkenny City can be reached also in thirty minutes, perfect for those who enjoy a day trip or need to commute regularly. This property strikes the ideal balance between countryside tranquillity and modern convenience, making it a dream location for families, remote workers, nature lovers, or anyone seeking a peaceful escape with accessibility. The residence is approached via a long, sweeping private driveway flanked by beautifully matured and landscaped gardens. The approach sets a grand and welcoming tone, while the generous tarmacadam parking ensures space for multiple vehicles, making it both practical and impressive from the outset. Stepping inside, you are greeted by a spacious and light-filled entrance hall that immediately showcases the sense of space and warmth throughout the home. The heart of the house is a bright open-plan kitchen and dining room which offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. This area is flooded with natural light and has been designed with both everyday family life and entertaining in mind. The property also features a cosy and inviting reception room, perfect for relaxing with guests or enjoying quiet evenings by the fire. A large home office with a solid fuel stove provides a warm and productive workspace, ideal for remote workers or those needing a dedicated creative or study area. Accommodation includes five generously proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from en-suite bathrooms, offering both comfort and privacy for family members and guests. A spacious utility room adds to the practicality of the home, alongside a family bathroom and a secondary sitting room or snug that creates a peaceful retreat within the home. This snug is perfect for reading, listening to music, or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee while taking in the spectacular scenery. The property has undergone two significant extensions, the first in 2002 and the second in 2009, both carried out to an exceptional standard. The more recent extension brings a modern architectural flair to the home, with a striking glass-panelled façade that allows natural light to pour in while framing panoramic views across the rolling countryside and Carlow town. This space is currently used as a snug, offering a tranquil area for relaxation where future owners can truly unwind and connect with the surrounding nature throughout every season of the year. Externally, the property continues to impress with a range of functional outbuildings. There is a garage with a loft that is conveniently accessible from within the main house, providing excellent storage or potential for conversion to a studio or additional living space. A garage and carport offer covered parking options, and a separate barn adds further flexibility for storage, hobbies, or agricultural use. The property is meticulously presented throughout and retains a timeless character. It perfectly captures the charm of a traditional farmhouse, with warm, homely finishes, while also incorporating sleek modern upgrades that create a harmonious blend of old and new. From the quality of the fittings to the thoughtful layout and spectacular views, every detail has been considered. The surrounding land is truly special. The 10 acres of private, tree-lined grounds include native woodland, peaceful walking trails, and open lawns, offering limitless opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploration. The meandering stream that runs through the property enhances the natural beauty of the setting and creates a calming, retreat-like atmosphere. It is an ideal environment for families with children, pet owners, or anyone who values privacy and a connection to nature. This is more than just a home—it’s a sanctuary. A rare opportunity to acquire a unique and captivating residence in one of the most scenic locations in the region. This remarkable property must be viewed to be truly appreciated.
