Carraigaun is an architecturally designed detached house of truly unique design and character. Built in 1977 this house extends to approx. 182 (m2) /1,959 sq. ft., and has some unusual and appealing characteristics.
It stands on approx .32 hectare/.79 of one acre and is located approx. five kms from Roscrea town, and 6 kms from Junction 21 on the M7.
Recent upgrades including a new oil burner, a new Atlantic water cylinder providing endless hot water, and an insert stove have brought the BER rating to a C. There is great scope to increase this with some additional insulation works.
Accommodation is laid out as an entrance hallway, a kitchen cum dining room, a utility room, a sitting room, two ground floor bedrooms, a shower room, and another three bedrooms and a bathroom at first floor level. The rooms are bright, many with two windows, and have beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
A clever car port located just outside the front door of the house could be incorporated into the living accommodation.
Beautifully cared for this house has a warm, friendly and homely feel.
There are stunning gardens all around the house and the front perimeter has a post and rail fence. It is surrounded by mature trees and shrubbery, manicured lawns, and a gritted driveway. There is a garage and three useful sheds to the back of the house. Great attic storage with easy access also.
Upvc double glazed windows have been installed.
