Well-set back from prestigious Kings Road and enjoying a generous site of circa three quarters of an acre, Benburb House is a handsome detached villa with private, walled gardens to both the front and the rear.

As soon as you enter the gracious reception hall with its beautiful, high corniced ceilings you get a feeling for the warmth and character which is evident throughout. Sympathetically modernised, there is an appealing blend of period charm and modern conveniences.

The luxury kitchen with Aga and central island is large enough to incorporate both living and dining areas making it an ideal focal point for modern living.

With the option of five or six double bedrooms, three feature en suite facilities. The principal bedroom leads to a delightful bathroom with bespoke closets and storage. There is then a wet-room style shower room off it.

The rear annex/coach house could be put to a variety of uses with just some finishing off required. Laid out over two floors with its own access, it would be ideal for those now working from home or looking for semi-independent space for a dependent relative, au pair etc.

A short stroll to Ballyhackamore village with its superb range of shops, amenities, eateries and Glider connections, some of the province’s leading schools for all ages are also in the vicinity.

It is only upon personal internal inspection that one can appreciate all this magnificent home has to offer.
