Have been out to the woods today?

DESCRIBED as a family residence, this Cratloe Woods house combines grandeur with grace indoors and out. It overlooks the Shannon estuary with a panorama that sweeps three counties, yet its tree-lined gardens afford privacy and are an ideal backdrop to the four bedroom house.

Cream marble tiles, high ceilings, pale carved woods and world-class materials shape the the interior. A country kitchen is inclusive of white goods and has a large bay window, breakfast area and utility. French doors open into a drawing room but there are three other rooms for entertaining and leisure: the dining room opens by double doors into the sun room, which in turn has French doors to the garden. The living room has a library and big bay window. Even the lobby is a gem.

Upstairs, the four double bedrooms are en suite, the master bedroom’s distinguished by a sunken bath. Heated towel rooms, TV and computer points everywhere indicate no shortage of private comfort.
There is storage space in the partly-floored attic which has Velux windows.
