PICTURES: Unique 5 bed detached home on the market in Carlow for under €500k

A large five bedroom detached home has come to the market at The Glade on Oak Park Road, Carlow, offering accommodation in an established setting close to the town centre.

Priced at €489,000, No. 6 The Glade extends to 207 sq m and is one of just 11 detached homes in the estate, which dates back to 1990. The property sits on a large, fully walled site with mature lawns and planting, while its Tudor style exterior gives the home plenty of character.

The property offers a flexible five bedroom, four bathroom layout spread across two floors, with four reception rooms providing plenty of space for family living.

The entrance leads into a sitting room featuring a solid fuel fireplace with marble, while the larger living room has a Stanley stove and opens through to a bright conservatory overlooking the rear garden.

The kitchen and dining area is fitted with floor and wall units, an electric oven and gas hob, with a separate utility room providing additional storage.

One of the property's useful features is the ground floor accommodation, which includes a fifth bedroom with built in wardrobes, a hobby room and a second bathroom. This could offer flexibility for guests, older family members or those working from home.

Upstairs, the master bedroom has built in wardrobes and its own ensuite, while three further double bedrooms are also provided, several with dormer windows and built in storage. A family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation.

Outside, the gated property has a large tarmac apron providing extensive off street parking, while a secure side entrance leads to the private rear garden. A detached 15 sq m storage shed is also included.

The home retains many of its original fixtures and fittings and would benefit from some modernisation and decorative upgrading, offering an opportunity for a new owner to put their own stamp on the property.

The location is a major attraction, with Carlow Lawn Tennis Club directly opposite and the town centre, schools, sporting facilities and recreational amenities all within easy reach. The property also provides convenient access to the main road network.

With its substantial floor area, five bedrooms and adaptable layout, No. 6 The Glade offers plenty of potential for buyers looking for a sizeable family home in a well established Carlow location.
