A fantastic, detached family home extending to approximately 188sq. m., ideally located in Ballinahinch and within walking distance of the picturesque village of Ashford. This impressive property offers a rare and versatile layout, further enhanced by the inclusion of a fully self-contained apartment complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, and living space ideal for extended family, guests, or potential rental income.
The main residence has been thoughtfully upgraded in recent years, including a full overhaul of the heating system with the installation of a new condenser boiler, new radiators throughout, and a newly remodelled bathroom suite. Additional improvements include a modern insulated hot water cylinder with temperature controls for enhanced efficiency, as well as a complete replumbing and replacement of the attic cold-water storage tank.
Internally, the property offers bright and spacious accommodation throughout. A welcoming entrance hallway leads to a beautifully decorated living room, featuring a newly fitted stone fireplace with wood-burning stove, timber flooring, and an attractive bay window that fills the room with natural light. An inner hallway connects to the bedroom accommodation and the stylish family bathroom.
The kitchen and dining area is both charming and functional, featuring high ceilings, tiled flooring in the kitchen area, butcher block worktops, and integrated appliances. The dining area benefits from attractive timber flooring, creating a warm and inviting space. Sliding doors from the dining area open onto the sunny rear garden, while an additional door leads to a bright sunroom. This space doubles as a utility area and provides direct access to the patio.
The rear garden is fully lawned and beautifully enhanced with mature trees and established planting, offering a private and tranquil outdoor setting. To the front, the property benefits from a fully walled and gated entrance with a generous driveway providing ample off-street parking.
Beyond the sunroom, a corridor leads to a highly versatile room currently in use as a studio and home office, but equally suited as a cinema room, gym, or additional living space. From here, a door provides access to the self-contained apartment, seamlessly integrating flexibility into the overall design of the home.
Externally, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with a strong sense of privacy, making it an ideal family home in a sought-after and convenient location.
Ashford itself is a highly desirable and well-serviced village, offering a welcoming selection of bars, coffee shops, and everyday amenities. Nearby attractions include the renowned Mount Usher Gardens and Avoca Handweavers, both just a short drive away. The area also benefits from excellent transport links, with easy access to the N11 motorway, and is well served by a choice of local primary schools, making it an ideal location for families.
