Set in immense countryside, yet close to all amenities, this picture-postcard 5 bedroom residence is amongst the very finest properties to come to the market in recent years.

Sitting on a magnificently elevated site of over one acre, the property enjoys ravishingly beautiful views that stretch for miles across extraordinarily pretty countryside.

Designed to nestle into the revered surroundings, the perfect faé§ade includes a feature stone centrepiece, and is further complemented by attractive lawns and a crunch gravel driveway.

Oozing immense kerb appeal, the property teasingly invites you in, and when you enter, even your wildest dreams will be surpassed. A jaw-droppingly beautiful entrance hall, with stunning central staircase, and feature gallery with mezzanine proportions awaits and confirms a home of prestigious qualities.

Off the entrance way is the heart of the home, a splendid L shaped kitchen/ living/ dining room which truly celebrates the home€TM setting. With a wraparound layout this room enjoys a triple aspect with picture windows to the front enjoying the panorama stretching for counties beyond. To the rear the view is of the beautiful garden, rolling fields, distant hills and the wonderful mature 1-acre site the property sits on.

The kitchen is delightfully hand made from Solid Oak, and with oodles of cabinet space, a feature island/dining bar and a striking granite worktop, this is a cook's haven. The quality fitted appliances, picture-window and recessed lighting all add to the experience.

Double doors lead to the main sitting room. This room enjoys an impressive carved fireplace, picture window and solid wood floors, making it ideal for family living or grand scale entertaining.

Also off the entrance hall is a large formal reception room. This room is a twin of the sitting room also enjoys those magnificent views and another feature fireplace.

To the rear of the ground floor is a massive 5th bedroom. Currently enjoyed as a hybrid formal office/ bedroom, this space can be used as a playroom, gym, home cinema or indeed a mixture of all.

A large utility room and separate guest WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

Tread the impressive staircase and arrive on the feature galleried balcony. The reassuring feel of concrete floors underfoot is further complemented by the notable underfloor heating. From here the views are immense and almost flow into the home, creating not just a living space but also a palpable countryside vibe.

The four bedrooms on this floor are just huge, each one a double and set in its own private corner of the landing. The master bedroom has a massive walk-in wardrobe and a fully fitted ensuite.

The second bedroom also enjoys a feature ensuite bathroom.

All four rooms enjoy built in wardrobes and dreamy picture windows.

A large family bathroom with bath, separate shower, w.c. and w.h.b. completes the first-floor accommodation.

This charming residence enjoys exceptional space and extends to over 2,500 square feet of luxurious accommodation over two floors. There is a further almost 600 sq. ft outside in the purpose built garage.

Built to an exceptional standard by the current owners in 2006, this prestigious family home was completed with a host of exceptional features and a strong emphasis on sustainability. Such attentional to this detail has resulted in the property being awarded an energy saving B3 BER Rating. This is not surprising giving the level of insulation, the superior windows and doors and the magnificent ground to water central heating system with a seldom seen underfloor heating system on both ground and first floor. The property is truly toasty. The state-of-the-art Geothermal Ground to Water system, was installed by an industry leader and ensures the home is super cosy at all times, for a fraction of conventional fossil fuel heating. Other environment friendly features include an underground rainwater storage tank and extra insulation throughout the built structure.

Outside the grounds have been beautifully maintained. With a selection of tarmacadam, crunch gravel and cobblelock surfaces, the low maintenance driveways are hugely impressive. A large paddock stetches for the skies to the rear and everything all boundaries are safe and well defined. The ideal setting for a growing family.

The large garage is built to the same high standards of the main residence and stretches to almost 600 Sq. Ft. This space could easily convert to an extra office, gym or a multitude of uses.

Timogue celebrates a central location. Just a few minutes from Stradbally and all its amenities, less than 10 minutes from a choice of prestigious primary schools and on the Bus route to a selection of highly respected secondary schools, the choice is immense.

Portlaoise is a little over 10 minutes away whilst Carlow, Kilkenny and Dublin are easily commutable.

The National Fibre 1GB rollout plan is currently en route and projected to be installed to this home in the coming weeks.

Viewing of this remarkable home is highly recommended and strictly by appointment.
