Description
A striking 5 bedroom energy efficient detached dormer on c.0.6 acres along Fortbarrington Road, Athy, this home blends space, privacy and family focused design. The long, gated, tree lined driveway sets the tone immediately, opening to expansive gardens on all sides and a residence with exceptional potential to extend (subject to planning). The house layout, generous room sizes and multiple living spaces make it ideal for a growing family seeking countryside tranquillity with town convenience.
Set behind mature trees and gated entrance, the property is approached via a long, mature, tree lined driveway that continues to the rear, offering excellent access and privacy. The site extends to approximately 0.6 acres, with substantial gardens to the front, side and rear. A large block built boundary wall to the side ensures complete seclusion, while a block built domestic garage to the rear provides superb storage or workshop potential.
Inside, the home opens into a bright entrance hall with a vaulted timber ceiling and a feature staircase an impressive first impression. Double doors lead to a spacious lounge with an open feature fireplace, ideal for family gatherings. A second living room, also with an open fireplace, sits just behind, offering flexible use as a playroom, snug or dining room.
The fully fitted kitchen/dining room provides generous space for everyday living, while the adjoining utility room includes plumbing for a washing machine, a water softener, and houses the oil burner. A rear door leads directly to the garden.
Two double bedrooms are located on the ground floor, including one En-Suite, along with a guest W.C. Upstairs are three further large bedrooms and the main family bathroom.

mains water, and mains sewerage.

efficiency and lower running costs. The property benefits from triple glazed energy efficient windows, a modern oil boiler and
solar panels on the roof. This ensures warmth throughout the year while reducing energy consumption. With
