Elegant townhouse steps from historic Birr Castle Demense
This cosy, characterful and professionally interior designed house is perfectly set in the heart of the beautiful heritage town of Birr. It is a perfect little hideaway tucked away in a quiet owners only access lane.. Accomodation includes two generously sized bedrooms, one on-suite, and 2 other bathrooms, an open plan living dining amd kitchen and a seperate laundry room. Furninshings include both antique and contemporary furniture. A sweet little terrace in the front courtyard with a bistro set completes the picture.
Stroll around this haven of elegant Georgian architecture and explore the splendour of Birr castle demesne and science center seconds from your door. The massive telescope built by the 3rd Earl of Rosse can be seen in the grounds, while the colorful restaurants and pubs of the town, along with the quaint local theatre are minutes away.
The area is the perfect location to explore the splendour of the Slieve Bloom mountains on foot or bicycle, the ancient site of Clonmacnoise founded in 544, the beauty of the river shannon with its suberb opportunities for angling and boating, and marvel at the extraordinary nature of the sculptures in Lough Boora parklands. Golf, horse back riding and tennis are available locally.
Birr towns central location makes it the ideal base to explore Ireland, being just 90 minutes away from both Dublin and Galway, 60 minutes from Kilkenny and the Rock of Cashel. Experience the outstanding scenery along the Wild Atlantic Way, the majesty of the Cliffs of Moher, and Connemaras kaleidoscope of rusty bogs, shimmering black lakes and ancient castles before returning home to your cosy home from home.
