We built our house in 2009/2010 and modeled it on the traditional Irish farmhouse shape, but with a modern architectural finish. It is directly south facing and large windows on the south side allow for wide views of the countryside. Two sets of French doors open onto a large patio for outdoor eating and play! Inside there is a handcrafted finish with lots of oak, ash and beech timber work.
There are four bedrooms upstairs, one double (ensuite), one twin and two singles. Downstairs there is an extra double bedroom (which is where we keep the piano!). There are two living rooms, one tailored for children with toys, play area and TV and the other for rest, reading and relaxation. The kitchen/dining room with a limestone floor and handmade units is the heart of the house.
Our house is situated up a quiet tree-lined cul-de-sac on 4 hectares with many large old trees (one of which supports our treehouse). We enjoy hobby farming and keep hens, pigs, a dog and a pony, as well as growing vegetables in the garden and in a polytunnel (all of which can be looked after by a neighbour during your stay). There is a (homemade!) wood-fired hot tub, a 30 metre pond and an outdoor kitchen/barbeque for those long Summer days. An old church and graveyard are hidden under the trees a small stroll through our orchard. Two kayaks are available for exploring the local rivers and a surf board for trips to the sea.

Please note that these wintery pictures, taken in January, don't do any justice to the beautiful colours of Summer that will await you on your arrival!
