The home, which is being brought to the market by Clement Herron Real Estate, has multiple living spaces, including a reception room, cosy snug, and a large home office with a solid fuel stove. There is an open-plan kitchen and dining area flooded with natural light. 

The property has undergone two significant extensions, the first in 2002 and the second in 2009. The more recent extension brings a modern architectural flair to the home, with a striking glass-panelled façade framing panoramic views across the rolling countryside and Carlow town. 

Outside there is a range of functional outbuildings. There is a garage with a loft accessible from within the main house, providing excellent storage or potential for conversion to a studio or additional living space. A garage and carport offer covered parking options, and a separate barn adds further flexibility for storage, hobbies, or agricultural use.

The selling agents say: "The surrounding land is truly special. The 10 acres of private, tree-lined grounds include native woodland, peaceful walking trails, and open lawns, offering limitless opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploration. The meandering stream that runs through the property enhances the natural beauty of the setting and creates a calming, retreat-like atmosphere. It is an ideal environment for families with children, pet owners, or anyone who values privacy and a connection to nature."
