PRETTY as a picture and surrounded by gardens, Baunkyle is a detached residence near Lake Inchiquin, Corofin, Co Clare, and sure to capture the imagination of those dreaming of a country idyll. The feelgood factor is evident from the start, with the approach along an impressive, tree-lined avenue before the Regency villa style house comes into view.
At some 237sq m (2,551sq ft), accommodation is generous, as is the natural light flowing through the tall sash windows. The entrance hall offers a charming introduction, with its high ceiling and gently curving white staircase. Opening from here are the living/dining room with river views, an inviting country-style kitchen with cream, hand-painted presses and walk-in larder, the utility, main bathroom, four bedrooms, en-suite, guest cloakroom and study. To the rear there is also a very large family room with exposed timber beams, open fireplace, book shelves and views of lawns and a river through three sash windows.
