Set within expansive grounds in the peaceful village of Kilbarron, this roomy detached house is an excellent base for families, couples, or small groups of friends who want to bring along their faithful hounds. With plenty of countryside walks right on the doorstep and an enclosed garden where your pup can run and play safely, it's an idyllic spot to unwind and explore.
Arrive through the gates and up the drive, where there’s space for several cars, before stepping into a light-filled open-plan living area. The lounge, with its comfortable sofas and glowing wood burner, is just the place to curl up with a book or a box set while your loyal companion dozes at your feet. Patio doors open directly to the garden, making it easy for your pup to come and go. The kitchen/diner is generously sized, with everything you need to cook up hearty meals after countryside adventures, plus a table for six that overlooks the garden for family feasts. A handy utility room provides laundry facilities and a freezer, perfect for muddy boots, damp towels, and leads. The house has three bedrooms: a ground-floor double with an en-suite shower room, plus an upstairs double with an en-suite WC, and a twin bedroom. A gleaming white family bathroom completes the setup. The fully enclosed, private garden is a real highlight, creating a safe haven for children to play and dogs to dash about while adults enjoy some al fresco dining.
Stroll down to the local bar for a relaxed evening or head to Borrisokane (4.5 miles) for shops and a dog-friendly pub/restaurant that often hosts live music. Within 6 miles, Terryglass offers charm and waterside views, while Portumna (12.5 miles) is a day out in itself, with forest trails for scenic strolls with your tail-wagger, wild swimming, golf, and even a castle with beautiful gardens. For history hounds, Birr Castle (18 miles) welcomes dogs on the lead, while water-loving canines will love pottering by Lough Derg (4 miles). For those who need a proper stretch of the legs, the Lough Derg Way winds through riversides, forests and old roadways – a treat for walkers and their four-pawed pals.
