Description
Set amidst the rolling Kilkenny countryside and equidistant from the picturesque village of Inistioge and bustling town of Thomastown, Maple Lodge is a light-filled and impeccably presented five-bedroom detached family home, full of character and boasting excellent facilities for equine enthusiasts.
Approaching Maple Lodge along a tree-lined avenue, one is immediately struck by the privacy and diversity of the surroundings. There is the miniature lake located at the entrance, alongside an area of woodland which has been planted with native Irish trees. This stunning property is set amidst c. 5.66 acres with two stud railed paddocks at either side of the avenue and the larger paddock wraps around the side and rear of the residence. To the rear, there is also a stable building, with three generous stables and a garage building with an additional storage room, ideal for a secure tack room. There is ample parking to the front and rear of the property and in addition, there is a separate gated access for yard traffic. For the avid horticulturalists, the property also boasts a kitchen garden, complete with poly tunnel and raised beds.
The house itself is laid out on one level and it is designed with the modern family in mind. There is an impressive entrance lobby, off which there are three access doors to the spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, which extends along the southern elevation of the house. There is also a beautiful sunroom on this side of the house facing due south, finished with a distinctive colonial style painted vaulted ceiling and complete with double doors onto a sandstone patio/ outdoor dining space overlooking the impressive, landscaped gardens and beyond to the paddocks and stunning countryside which includes the Nore Valley.
The open plan kitchen and dining area is separated from the living area by a double-sided stove and three steps down to the distinctive living area which also includes a painted vaulted ceiling and a feature window facing due west to capture the evening light. This comfortable space has been tastefully decorated using a palette of neutral colours, thus creating a calm and serene space. The high specification of this home continues with a bespoke, in-frame, painted wood kitchen, complete with granite countertops and walk-in pantry.
There are five spacious bedrooms at Maple Lodge and the master bedroom is complete with beautifully finished ensuite and ample storage. The accommodation is flexible, with one of the four double bedrooms currently in use as a studio with double doors onto the patio area. The main bathroom oozes luxury and is finished with a separate shower and bath. No country residence is complete without a boot room and utility /laundry room, and Maple Lodge does not disappoint with both rooms offering residents ample storage for modern family life.
This home has been thoughtfully extended to balance family living and entertaining, seamlessly blending warmth, style and practicality.
