Proudly standing on a 1.18-acre site approx. enjoying total privacy, peace, and seclusion, Ballycoyle is complemented with an idyllic setting along Glencree River boasting memorable views down the valley towards the Great Sugarloaf.

Formerly a small cottage, dating from circa 1875, this attractive residence has had a series of extensions over the years resulting with an extensive footprint measuring 300sqm/3,229sq ft approx. The interior is exceptionally presented, the attention to detail put into the design by the current owners is particularly impressive and an emphasis has been put into the energy performance of the property with new windows installed along with solar panels. The grand room proportions throughout are unique but also provide a degree of comfort and the split-level accommodation is practical for modern day living.

From here, there is access to four separate wings on each corner of the property. Starting on left is the dual aspect kitchen dining room boasting fabulous views out over the valley and access to a raised deck in the garden. The kitchen area is fitted with a generous range of base and eye level units with granite worktops and appliances, and off this area there is a convenient pantry. Staying to the lefthand side, to the rear is the formal living room overlooking the garden which similarly has access to the raised deck.
