Robins Rest is a large bungalow set on just over an acre of land within easy and safe walking distance of the pretty village of Avoca. It is a sun lovers paradise with a large south facing sun patio, an adjacent sun deck, a semi-circular sunroom and a dramatic south facing apex window to the main living area. It is ideal for entertaining with four sets of French doors leading from all the main living areas to the patio, creating a natural connectivity for lots of circulating guests. There is abundant parking for 20 cars.To ensure proper spacing of viewings, Casey-Kennedy Estate Agents request that viewers register in advance by email. We will contact you to schedule an exact viewing time within the advertised time range.As you enter through the electric gates off a private road you are met by a covered portico leading to an impressive entrance hall soaring to a double height vaulted ceiling over 6m high.Through oak double doors is the main living room with the stunning apex window straight in front of you opening to expansive countryside views, a lofted ceiling with exposed beams overhead, solid oak flooring with underfloor heating underfoot, and a feature custom built sandstone hearth with solid fuel stove on your right,To the right of the hearth a doorway opens to the large kitchen / dining room which is almost 12m long. This has a matching hearth, Italian travertine floor tiles (with underfloor heating) and triple aspect windows which include three kitchen windows and French doors opening from the dining area to the sun patio. The oak fitted kitchen – handmade by local craftsmen – has granite counter-tops, a 6 ring gas range, American style fridge-freezer and lots of storage space. The kitchen sink is located on a central island / breakfast bar making it a much more sociable space. Off the kitchen is the hot press with controls for both types of solar panels (PV & hot water).Through an arch to the left of the kitchen is a small boot lobby leading to an impressive semi-circular sunroom with a lofted ceiling, exposed beams, and windows on all sides (including more French doors to the sun patio). To the right of the kitchen is a good sized utility room with the central vacuuming system, laundry area with counter top and sink, and an outside door.A corridor runs 11m down the centre of the house forming a T with the entrance hall – on one end of which is a guest WC. Beside the entrance hall is another reception room accessed through double oak doors which was designed as a games room / playroom or formal dining room – but which is currently furnished as a 6th bedroom. A comms press contains controls for the sound system, high speed fibre broadband, internal cabling and the CCTV security system.Leading off the corridor on the opposite side of the hall are the bedroom and bathroom spaces. First up is bedroom 5 – a double bedroom with a window to the front. Next is the family bathroom which is exquisitely fitted with Italian fixtures and fittings including dark marble floor and wall tiling, fitted with a floating WC with hidden cistern, a floating WHB with vanity mirror, a free-standing floating bathtub with teak surround, and a corner shower. At the end of the corridor is an impressive and spacious master bedroom with oak flooring, a fully fitted oak walk-in-wardrobe, an ensuite with textured grey tiling, and French doors opening to a sun deck. Three more double bedrooms, including a second bedroom with ensuite, complete the internal accommodation.There are plans for converting the upstairs to more living space, but this has never been done as the current owners dont need that much extra space.Outside there is a detached garage which is currently in use as a private gym, home office and shower room. There is also a wooden chalet which is used as a pilates studio.To the west of the property through a pedestrian gate is a large walled and paved yard with wide double gates to the road, extending to 0.2 acres (140ft x 50ft) which currently is in use for guest parking – but could provide space for a work base or a separate granny flat subject to planning.Robins Rest was very well built in 2006 to an exceptionally high standard with a top specification finish by a highly respected local builder. It is in excellent structural condition, and is beautifully presented.Specifications include:Extensive double-glazing flooding this property with abundant natural light4 x French doors to sun patioUninterrupted all-day sunshine on the back of the houseExpansive countryside viewsHigh lofted ceilings with exposed beams in main reception roomsCustom built sandstone hearths in living room and dining areaSolid fuel stoves in both hearthsUnderfloor heating throughoutSolar hot water panelsSolid oak internal doors and architravesSolid oak flooringSolid oak fitted kitchenGranite counter tops6 ring gas rangeAmerican style fridge-freezerKitchen island with breakfast barItalian Travertine kitchen floor tilingItalian marble tiling in main bathroomHigh quality white bathroom fixturesCentral vacuuming systemCentral sound system with Bose speakers in all main roomsHigh speed fibre broadbandCCTV security systemPotential for attic conversion to additional living space (SPP)Detached garage containing home gym, home office and shower roomWood chalet in use as a pilates studioMains water and electricityReverse osmosis water filterSeptic tankBottled gasLarge walled yard with independent accessLandscaped gardensSmall paddockDog pen4 x outside tapsSchool buses stop outside the gateOn a private road serving approximately 20 propertiesDrive-through coffee shop at the turn off from the R752Footpath along the R752 to Avoca village (15 minutes walk)Served by bus route 183 (5 buses daily)4 minute drive to Avoca National School10 minutes drive to the train station in Rathdrum15 minutes drive to the supermarkets and Bridgewater Shopping Centre in Arklow15 minutes drive to the nearest beach40 minutes drive from the M50 Dublin ring road1 hour drive from Dublin Airport and Dublin CityNearby attractions include Avoca Handweavers, The Meeting of The Waters (a famous beauty spot made famous by the song by Thomas Moore), Woodenbridge Golf Club, Avondale House, Botanic gardens in Kilmacurragh, Ennereilly Beach and Brittas BayLocal activities include walking, cycling, horse riding, golfing, sea swimming, fishing.Freehold property with registered title which has been fully checked and signed off – greatly simplifying the conveyancing processThis is a high specification bungalow built to exacting standards.
