Nestling on 70 acres in the heart of the midlands, Deerpark has all the attractions of country living and with six national routes nearby and the motorway to Dublin due to open shortly, boasts over half the country within an hour's drive.

Currently run as an equestrian sports yard, this fine residential farm has frontage onto two roads and is approached along a tree-lined avenue which leads to a six-bed wisteria-clad dormer bungalow.

Tastefully decorated throughout, the family home is well laid out and features wooden floors, open fireplaces, bright spacious rooms and modern conveniences.

Outside, the land is topclass limestone ground suitable for agricultural purposes, including horses, and there is further potential for two sites. The stable yard includes an American barn, nine stables, tack room and wash room.

Accommodation consists of a large entrance hall which leads to a livingroom with pine wood floor, corniced ceiling and wood fireplace with marble inset and hearth.

The fully-fitted kitchen to the rear has tiled flooring, bay window with window seat, a solid fuel-burning stove and a good-sized utilityroom. Also downstairs are the family sittingroom, the main bathroom and four spacious bedrooms, two ensuite.

Upstairs accommodation includes a very large master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, showerroom and beautiful views to the rear as well as a good-sized landing with shelving/gallery office and a sixth bedroom also with en-suite.

To the front of the house there is a lawn garden with shrubberies and trees and both the livingroom and the kitchen open on a sun trap patio area which leads onto the back lawn, also with shrubberies and flower beds.
