Set on an elevated site with one-acre garden and 24 acres of zoned agricultural land, Meegan Farmhouse on Verschoyle Hill in Saggart is a four-bedroom residence which is new on the books of Colliers Jackson-Stops.

The original farmhouse, which dates from the early 1800s, has been extensively refurbished as well as extended to create a twin-gabled, double apex property within 250 square metres of living space over two levels. It has a price tag of €3.8 million.

The property is accessed through electric gates and approached along a driveway with extensive parking. The accommodation is laid out off a porcelain-tiled hallway which runs the full length of the house and is fitted with recessed downlighters and a stained glass window.

A shuttered picture window in the tiled kitchen takes full advantage of spectacular views across the city, while French doors to the side lead out to a paved patio area that spans the length of the property and boasts an attractive outlook over the mountains.

The results of a costly refurbishment are evident in a host of fittings such as granite-topped storage presses, a centre island which doubles as a three seater breakfast bar and a full compliment of integrated appliances.

A dining area to the side of the room has space to seat a crowd of ten and is fitted with a wall-mounted 42-inch plasma TV.

The reception accommodation is completed by an office and a living room, both of which are floored in polished oak, painted in cream and lit by recessed spotlighting.

The living room, which includes a marble fireplace and an identical plasma TV, is a particularly spacious area where extensive glazing provides picturesque views over the surrounding countryside and towards the coast.

A staircase rises from the office to the master suite overhead, a handsomely proportioned space that will impress prospective purchasers.

In addition to a large sleeping area and en suite bathroom, this includes a living area with plasma TV.

A rear corridor with glass brick wall feature and porcelain floor tiling gives access to two further bedrooms, wihch are separated by a utility area and a tiled family bathroom with jacuzzi bath, vanity unit, heated towel rail and plasma screen TV.

The larger of the bedrooms is floored in oak and includes an en suite shower room and wall-mounted plasma TV. Double doors open out from here to a secluded patio terrace at the back of the house.

The fourth bedroom, another double with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathroom, is located overhead. Viewing is by prior appointment with the selling agent on 01-6333700.
