Woodfield House, Broadford, Co Clare, stands in a parkland setting on the shores of Doon Lake with 34.5 acres of woodland, parkland and gardens to play with; all within 20 minutes of Limerick.

With six bedrooms, 464sqm of living space and a fine cut stone courtyard, this property is a classical country house of palatial scale, which has been restored very elegantly by the current owners, who have poured energy, enthusiasm - and not a little money - into the work over a 10 year period.

It now benefits from the addition of all contemporary comforts and amenities, such as pressurised water systems, underfloor heating, integrated sound systems, new bathrooms and kitchen - all carried out to the very highest of standards.

New wiring has been installed, together with gas-fired central heating, a new roof and an impressive security system. Long sash windows in well-proportioned reception rooms with decorative panelling allow fine views over the gardens and paddocks to Doon Lake -- famous for its coarse fishing and teeming with bird and wildlife.

The bright, well-lit interior is laid out with porch, reception hall, drawing room and dining room.

A cloakroom and kitchen, on the ground floor, together with a lovely sitting room, supremely styled with panelling and wainscoting also feature.

On the first floor is the main bedroom, with walk-in wardrobes and en suite, two more bedrooms and a bathroom.

On the second floor, there are three bedrooms, an en suite and a bathroom. At garden level, the basement is tiled throughout, wired for an integrated sound system and equipped with underfloor heating. It is laid out with a kitchen and a laundry room, cloakroom, study, games room, shower and sauna.

In the courtyard, the magnificent stableblock, with four stables either side of an arched entry double coach house and rooms above, would be very suitable for conversion.

Woodfield is on the market for €2,65m. For more information contact agents to Colliers Jackson Stops 01 6333700.
