A DETACHED RED SANDSTONE FORMER FARMHOUSE OCCUPYING A RURAL SETTING ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF KILLEARN, DRUMTIAN COMBINES THE TRADITIONAL QUALITIES OF A 100-YEAR-OLD BUILDING WITH A FRESH, CONTEMPORARY INTERIOR THAT TRANSCENDS EXPECTATIONS.
Extensively upgraded and modernised, the character and charm of this traditional one-and-a-half storey house has been considerably enhanced by hardwood doors and finishes and double glazed timber windows while new additions such as a slate-tiled floor in the modern kitchen accentuate the country feel and use of natural materials.
This style of low-roof house design often looks smaller from the outside than it is inside, and this one is no exception. Behind the neat, south-facing exterior is a surprisingly spacious home containing a large L-shaped reception hall, lounge, dining room/bedroom four, dining kitchen, utility room, bathroom, three double bedrooms and en-suite bathroom the latter, along with two of the bedrooms, on the upper floor.
But what really makes an impact is the standard of the design and finish. The lounge, for example, has a sandstone fireplace and solid fuel cast iron stove, with hardwood finishes. A light and airy room with windows to the front and side, other features include contemporary downlights and wall lights with dimmer control.
While the dining room echoes these features in understated style, Drumtian's piece de resistance is the kitchen, a magnificent setting in pine and granite. Fitted with base and wall units incorporating a range of integrated appliances oven, gas hob and overhead extractor, dishwasher and fridge freezer the surroundings forms a stark but aesthetically pleasing contrast to the natural colour and texture of the slate tiled floor.
Matching units and a slate floor continue into the adjacent utility room which is tiled to dado height and houses laundry appliances. Also on the ground floor is a fully tiled bathroom with a white suite
