To preserve privacy, the living accommodation has its own separate access to the two floors. Stepping inside, the hallway leads to the first floor and also provides access to the rear garden, where there’s a courtyard area with stone walls and a sizeable garden. Mature trees and shrubs create a sense of peacefulness, while Lismore Cathedral can be seen in the distance.

On the first floor, there is the open plan living and dining room, and the kitchen. The open plan space is filled with natural light thanks to the two picture windows, with a feature fireplace also in here. The accommodation is well-kept, but could benefit from some modern upgrades to truly make it shine.

The kitchen offers the potential for a great amount of storage and countertop space to be added in, making for a functional and well-adapted cooking area.
