Opis:

An Radharc which translates from Gaelic as 'The View` is without a doubt one of Glandore`s finest coastal properties. Standing on elevated terraced gardens extending to circa ¾`s of an acre, it has been designed to take full advantage of its stunning views over Glandore harbour from Adam & Eve Island along the coastline to Union Hall fishing village across the bay.

Constructed on the site of a pre-existing cottage, this impressive residence was built in the mid 2000`s. Extending over three levels, the property measures approximately 5,000 sq. ft. (464 sq. m.) of tastefully appointed versatile accommodation which has been designed to take full advantage of the magnificent maritime views from all the principal rooms.

As you walk through the hall door, you know you are about to experience something truly special. An Radharc comes to the market in turn-key condition. The finish and level of detail is exceptional throughout and there is more than a nod to its maritime position and the current owners sailing enthusiasm in well thought-out design influences.

In brief, the accommodation comprises a kitchen/dining room, living room, drawing room with dual aspect balconies inspired by a trip to Verona & Vicenza, games/recreational room, utility area, guest wc x 2, cloakroom, wet room, boiler/drying room, comms room & workshop. There are four bedrooms, all en-suite. A large south facing terrace, accessed from the main reception rooms, completes the ensemble and almost every room faces south to the harbour and ocean.

The front of the property is approached through a secure automatic gated entrance with generous parking. The delightful private grounds are particularly impressive, designed by Verney Naylor. Her aim is to create a balance between what is practical and possible against what is fitting and beautiful. She likes her gardens to look as if they have evolved naturally from the landscape rather than being imposed upon it, which has been achieved exceptionally well at this property.

A spectacular house enjoying a truly spectacular position with panoramic coastal views, where one can admire the nautical activity to and from Glandore harbour.

The location itself needs little introduction. Glandore is acclaimed as one of the most scenic villages in Ireland. This much sought-after village is set in a superb position at the head of a spectacular natural wooded harbour and enjoys an easy-going cosmopolitan atmosphere, with residents drawn from around the globe. The village has pubs and restaurants whilst the nearby fishing village of Union Hall, reached across the iron harbour bridge provides a shop, post office as well as further restaurants and pubs. Glandore has a delightful sheltered harbour with much year-round activity on the water including sailing school, sea angling, whale watching, rowing championships and regattas.
