Sherry FitzGerald Fogarty offer Cúl Dara, this wonderful two-storey detached residence for sale. Designed originally with generous rooms and extending to approx. 206 sq. mts (2,217 sq. ft.) this exceptional home surround by extensive gardens offers privacy and seclusion, and yet is so well positioned just to the edge of Birr town.
Built originally in 1950 by the Mitchell family (State Solicitors) at that time, it then passed to a local Doctor, who ran his surgery from the house and then to the current owners in the late 1970’s. The original Mitchell family had roots in Headfort, Co Galway and the creative fountain in the front garden was reputedly built with stones from Castlekirk Castle, Lough Corrib, Co Galway, once home to our legendary Grainne Mhaol, the Pirate Queen. This beautiful work of art is still in working order, all these years later.
As you step into the front hall of Cúl Dara, you immediately see and feel the scale of the house. To the left is a generously proportioned sitting room with an open fireplace complete with a tiled surround. High ceilings and decorative cornices enhance the character of this room. Two large picture windows offer lovely views of the front and rear garden.
Moving back to the main entrance hall, to the right is another reception room which could be ideally used as a home office or indeed a ground floor bedroom. To the rear of the main hall is the family living room, a warm and inviting room which overlooks the south facing rear garden.
The kitchen features fitted units, and a traditional cream oil-fired AGA cooker. The original bell call system is still in place, with connections to all rooms. Off the kitchen is a side hall that leads to a utility room with ample storage, an original Belfast sink, and a guest WC. There is also a boiler room which can be accessed from outside.
Ascending the staircase, the first floor comprises four large bedrooms. Each bedroom offers a captivating view of exceptional gardens and surrounding countryside. There is a large hot press and family bathroom fitted with a bath, shower and separate WC which completes the accommodation on this level.
An unusually large attic has been fully floored, has a stair access and could accommodate additional rooms if needed.
GARDEN
The gardens of Cúl Dara are as special as the house itself. Measuring approx. one acre, they once provided complete self-sufficiency for the household, with home produce grown for many years. Apple trees, fruit bushes, rhubarb, vegetable gardens all thrived in this stunning space.
A practical and useful garage adds utility to the landscaped grounds.
