Unique house for those seeking a real alternative. This timber framed, ferro cement rendered house consists of two joined octagons, raised above the ground on a timber framework. Cedar shakes cover the roof, which are cleaved rather than sawn, meaning they last for years. Built circa 2000, the house was featured on Duncan Stewart’s T.V programme ‘Our house’ where the construction was filmed. The total floor area of circa 180 sq. m. made up of some seven rooms, all with curves and shapes. There is a hand crafted kitchen with elm worktops. Two or three bedrooms. The sale also includes a detached building, converted to two studios which might be used for living accommodation. Outside a profusion of shrubs, flowers and plants. There are approx 1200 deciduous trees (50% oak) forming 1.5 acres of woodland, and a beautiful pond, Situated in a secluded, private location, at end of private tarmac road. Neighbours about 150 yards away. A very special property. Beautiful Lough Graney is just a mile and a half away, Feakle, famed for its traditional music is close by.
