Glasswork and chandeliers abound in Kilmeaden bungalow

With what seems like as many seats within and without as a newly reconfigured Dáil might have, this four-bed bungalow with views over Waterford’s Knockaderry Lake and the countryside around Kilmeaden is described as well laid out, with “accommodation of the highest standard and the decor tasteful and cheerful.”

And, apart from sitting pretty, the words ‘mirrored’, ‘chandleliered’ and ‘eclectic’ may also come to mind.

Inisfree is a bit of a trove for furnishings, framed mirrors, glasswork and chandeliers (it is Waterford, after all,) as well as being extensively glazed in its own right.

Newly listed with estate agents REA O’Shea O’Toole is this elevated, extended, and upgraded 2,200 sq ft bungalow on a 1.3 acre site with views and lovely gardens, with summer-time snaps from the owners showing what glories await come sunnier months.

There’s even a seating bower gazebo amid the outside options.

Inside, there’s no shortage of spots to sit or loll around at either: the gable end sun room, a relatively recent addition, is a whopping 26’ by 20’ or so space, with high vaulted ceiling with Veluxes, and it has a solid fuel stove in a chimney breast.

The room easily fits two large sofas, it has a third large L-shaped sofa, a couple of armchairs, and some occasional chairs, while there are more sofas in a family room, at the end of a long run of space including kitchen, dining area (seating eight), with breakfast bar seating, and then family space.

There’s a separate formal dining room, seating six but capable of hosting more, and there are more seats (and lots and lots of mirrors) scattered about the hall/circulation space, and there’s even a spare chair in the bathroom.

The house has one of it four hardwood-floored bedrooms en suite, and overall condition is excellent, say O’Shea O’Toole, who guide the C3 BER-rated bungalow at Carrickphillip at €350,000.

Location is within a walk of Knockaderry Lake, 5km from Kilmeaden, 12km from Waterford city, and a 10-minute spin from the ring road and M9 to Dublin.
