Description
A stunning lakeside detached residence on the shores of Lough Derg
Approached via electric entrance gates along a quiet country road, Castletown is a substantial detached bungalow extending to approximately 430 sq m (4,628 sq ft). Constructed with a striking stone and rendered exterior, the property combines impressive scale with high-quality finishes throughout.
The accommodation is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall featuring a statement fireplace and an immediate sense of light and space. To one side lies an elegant reception room enjoying distant lake views and excellent natural light through a large bay window with triple-aspect outlooks.
At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, designed to maximise both family living and entertaining. This expansive space features vaulted ceilings, Velux rooflights, a distinctive porthole window, bespoke fitted cabinetry, a substantial central island and a wood-burning stove. French doors open directly onto the rear gardens and terrace, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. A utility room, guest WC and hot press are conveniently positioned off the kitchen. A second reception room, complete with a contemporary LED feature fireplace, further enhances the living accommodation.
The bedroom accommodation comprises six generously proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from en suite facilities, with one currently configured as a home office. The principal suite is particularly impressive, enjoying lake views, a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious en suite bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and separate shower. A further substantial room, presently utilised as a playroom, provides flexibility for use as a seventh bedroom, home gym or additional reception space.
Castletown has been finished to an exceptional specification and achieves an impressive B2 BER rating. Energy-efficient features include 18 high-output solar panels, a 10-kWh battery storage system and zoned underfloor heating with individual room controls. Security and smart-home features include electric gates with intercom access, CCTV cameras, an alarm system and smart smoke detectors. Additional enhancements include fibre broadband, an integrated speaker system, Ethernet wiring throughout, remote-controlled blinds in the principal reception areas and a central vacuum system.
A standout feature of the property is the extensive floored attic area, which has already been wired and plumbed, presenting an outstanding opportunity for future conversion, subject to any necessary consents.
Outbuildings
The property benefits from excellent ancillary accommodation and storage facilities. A large double garage with roller shutter door is complemented by a practical external storeroom. Of particular note is the large steel-framed boatshed, complete with roller door and storage racking, ideally suited to boating enthusiasts or alternatively as a workshop separate from the main residence.
Gardens & Grounds
Castletown is set within beautifully maintained grounds extending to just under 1 acre. The landscaped gardens comprise expansive lawns, mature planting, raised beds and traditional stone boundary walls, creating an attractive and private setting.
The driveway surrounds the house and provides ample parking and circulation space, while a generous patio area and elevated outdoor dining terrace offer excellent spaces for al fresco entertaining. Thoughtfully designed external lighting enhances the grounds and allows for enjoyment of the gardens throughout the evening. Adding further appeal for families, the grounds also feature a long zip line, providing a unique recreational feature within the property.
