Island Burnfort

Built c2004/2005, it stretches to an impressive 5,000 sq ft with oodles of rooms to choose from, right up to the converted attic space.

Selling agent Séamus O’Keeffe of Séamus O’Keeffe and Associates, says the property, located in Island, is blessed with an abundance of windows “making it very bright and inviting”.

There’s even a sunroom off the main open plan kitchen/living area “a definite suntrap for relaxing and enjoying your favourite book,” he said.

Alternatively, there’s smashing outdoor decking right off that sunroom, for when the weather is kind enough for outdoor dining, as well as another little paved suntrap to the front of this south facing house, with terrific views of the countryside.

Accommodation includes an open plan kitchen/dining/living area with a wood burning stove dividing the rooms, a panelled piano room, a sitting room with feature fireplace, a family bathroom with elevated corner bath, a striking staircase and elegant landing flooded with natural light and five bedrooms, all ensuite.

Added bonuses include underfloor heating and a detached garage.

Mr O’Keeffe is expecting interest from families looking to trade up.
