WHOEVER BUYS CLARIN House had better be the active type. Set on 7.65 acres in Clarinbridge, Co Galway, this large five-bed home leaves little time for boredom seeing as a tennis court, football pitch and even a paddock and stable yard are just some of the properties luxury features.
And, no doubt they’ll have guests queuing up, too, seeing as a stay at this huge home is bound to be akin to a swanky break in a stately home. The main difference however is that it was built in 2005.
With a floor area of 801 m², which includes a spacious one-bedroom cottage, there’s plenty to do on rainy days too – whether it involves relaxation or recreation.
Set over three floors, the main house has three sitting rooms that all embrace differing styles but have one thing in common – space. Every room in this house does.
The large kitchen is complete with top of the range appliances by Gaggenau and one of the aforementioned lounges has a bar area. These rooms prove that this is a house made for entertaining in. For added character, the kitchen also has a cast iron Aga.
One of the two offices in this house, lives on the ground floor. A bright space with lots of storage, no doubt it will promote productivity.
And if three lounges weren’t enough, there is also a games room ideal for watching movies on the projector or big screen that’s bound to be taken over by the younger members of the family.
The ground floor is also home to a gym that has French doors to the pretty patio area. A bathroom completes this level.
Four of the five bedrooms in the main house have have their own shower rooms. But, the guest bedroom does have the family bathroom beside it. The largest bedroom is wonderfully private and even has two walk-in-wardrobes, along with a bathroom with jacuzzi tub and a balcony that looks out to the gardens.
The top floor is home to a striking billiards room. Its striped ceiling, built-in seating and drinks bar provides yet another spot to entertain in.
The space shares the floor with another large room, that could make for another, quieter home office that sits away from everything.
The house itself already makes use of the land with four stables, a paddock, and a treehouse along with the previously mentioned tennis and football set-ups.
The modern estate has Kilcornan Woods and parkland as its backdrop, so runners have full access to the loop. For chill out time, an outdoor area has an outdoor hot tub with television screen so you can bask in nature alongside Netflix.
Guests, elderly relatives, or young adults are sure to hint at a stay in the separate guest house that comprises a large living area, kitchenette, bedroom and a bathroom.
Although it might feel like Clarin House is deep in the countryside, Clarinbridge village is just minutes drive away as is Oranmore with its choice of schools, plenty of shops and handy train station.
