Smith Harrington, one of Ireland's longest established estate agents are delighted to present “Balsaw”, a spacious and beautifully maintained extended three-bedroom detached bungalow with a partial attic conversion, conservatory and detached double garage, set on approximately 0.32 acres of mature, private gardens with a sunny south-west facing rear aspect.
Occupying an elevated position, this impressive family home enjoys stunning panoramic countryside views and, on a clear day, views as far as the iconic Spire of Lloyd in Kells. Ideally located within walking distance of Wilkinstown Community Centre, Scoil Naomh Barra National School and the Boyne Valley Greenway, the property offers the perfect balance of peaceful rural living with excellent access to Navan, Slane, Kells and beyond.
Extending to approximately 121.5 sq.m. (1,308 sq.ft.), excluding the attic conversion and detached garage, the bright and spacious accommodation has been lovingly maintained by its current owners. The welcoming entrance porch leads to a generous hallway with built-in storage. A superb dual-aspect sitting room spans the full depth of the house and features a marble fireplace with granite hearth, solid fuel stove and sliding patio doors opening into the conservatory.
The kitchen connects through glazed double doors to a large open-plan dining and family room overlooking the rear garden. This inviting living space features a striking cast iron fireplace and semi-solid maple flooring, making it ideal for modern family living and entertaining.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms on the ground floor. The master bedroom and second bedroom overlook the front garden, while the third bedroom enjoys a side aspect and includes a Stira staircase providing access to the partially converted attic. The attic is divided into two carpeted and painted sections with Velux roof windows, lighting and power, offering excellent additional space suitable for a variety of uses (subject to requirements). A fully tiled wet room completes the accommodation and includes a Triton Safeguard Pump electric shower, WC, WHB and extractor fan.
The property is approached through an attractive gated bell mouth entrance with capped entrance piers leading to a sweeping tarmac driveway offering extensive off-street parking. A second gated entrance provides convenient vehicular access to the rear, where a large tarmac area offers ample space for parking, outdoor entertaining or recreational use while also serving the detached double garage.
The mature gardens are a particular feature of this property, with beautifully maintained lawns, established boundaries and a degree of privacy. The front garden includes a feature fountain, while the enclosed rear garden enjoys two patio areas—one gravelled and one elevated, paved and finished with decorative balustrading—perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the breathtaking countryside views and spectacular sunsets.
The detached double garage (8.17m x 7.04m) is complemented by a generous adjoining boiler room (7.92m x 2.11m), which is plumbed for a WC. Together they offer outstanding potential for a workshop, home office, gym or future conversion, subject to the necessary planning permission
