About this property
Stunning country cottage near Waterville
Fabulous 4 bed 4 bathroom home with stunning views of Lough Currane and the mountains less than a mile outside Waterville ,a small village on the Atlanic Ocean .
The cottage ,which is 2,400 sq ft , was constructed 12 years ago to a traditional style but to best building practices .The cottage was designed by a local architect to be in harmony with the surrounding countryside and its environment .It has a natural slate roof and uses both local stone and rough plaster finish to the external walls .
It has three double bedrooms downstairs ,all en-suite .The master bedroom has an en -suite with a Jacuzzi and a large walk in shower with body jets . The living area is open plan with the kitchen off it and also a sun-room .There is also a utility area and a separate WC .Upstairs there is a further double bedroom and a living room .There is also shower room on this floor . The ground floor is tiled with slate to living areas , ceramic tiles to bedrooms and marble to master en -suite .Upstairs has French Oak Flooring and all the joinery in the cottage is French Oak .The cottage is heated by a Geo Thermal system with under floor heating to ground floor and radiators upstairs . There is a large open turf fire and there is turf in the shed that you are welcome to use .We have three flat screen TV`s ,DVD ,iPod decks , Sound system and Wi-Fi .We have a library of about 200 DVDs for you to watch and a library of approx. 300 books for you to enjoy and games to play just in case you might get a rainy day !!
The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with everything that you could possibly need to make great meals and there is an Australian Gas Barbecue if you fancy having a meal on our patio or the deck area. There is also patio furniture to sit on and enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the views all around you .
All linen is provided including towels and beach towels .There are wetsuits , buckets , spades and bodyboards that you can use and thermos flasks and picnic baskets are also in the cottage . We have bicycles in the shed and also helmets and Hi Vis jackets
This is a home that we build for our own use and we would like to think that our guests will come and stay in our home and enjoy Waterville as much as we have over the years
