Woodlands, Mill Road, Corbally, Co. Limerick, V94XK7K

An elegant period residence set on private gardens and grounds of approx. 4 acres on Mill Road. Woodlands is a fine, detached red brick, Edwardian family home built c.1902. It is one of the few original period homes on the Mill Road, one of the oldest and most sought after roads in Limerick. It has been well maintained over the years and maintains many of its original period features. A modern extension has been added which perfectly compliments the original formal part of the house. The porch, with original Edwardian mosaic tiles, leads to an imposing front door which opens up to the entrance hallway. Entering the spacious entrance hall, the fine period features are instantly apparent with its original parquet floors, open fireplace, high ceilings and ornate plasterwork. To the left of the hall is the drawing room and, to the right, the dining room. Interconnecting doors lead from the dining room to the more modern kitchen/family room. Both the drawing room and dining room retain many period features including decorative cornicing, large pane sash windows and each feature a large bay window, high ceilings and custom-built bookcases. Each reception room also overlooks the front garden, ensuring both are bright, airy spaces with views of the mature garden and trees. The dining room has French doors that lead to the modern, spacious kitchen/family room. When opened, this is an expansive space ideal for entertaining and where the current owners enjoyed hosting many parties over the years. To the back of the house, the open-plan modern kitchen and family room is part of a well thought out extension to the house by the current owners and has many features of that of a country kitchen, including a charming hand-painted kitchen, cream Aga cooker with tasteful back splash tiling. This room also has direct access to the garden and features a living/family area with fireplace with a gas fire and has great views of the garden. The kitchen/family room leads to a spacious back hall which would make an ideal study or home office. Off this hall is a sizeable utility room with built-in storage and a walk-in hot press/linen room. There is also a guest WC and access to an enclosed yard with three stables which could be adapted for a variety of uses (S.P.P). Also on the ground floor is the fifth bedroom and ensuite bathroom, ideal for guests. On the first floor, there is a bright and spacious landing which leads to four bedrooms and a recently renovated family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms mirror the main reception rooms in proportion and each feature a bay window with views of the garden and trees. All are double bedrooms. The master is equipped with a modern en suite, complete with a ceramic tiled walk-in shower. Gardens & Grounds Woodlands is a unique property, standing on 1.6 Hectares (3.954 Acres) and enjoys complete privacy. The house stands on circa 1 acre of private, secluded gardens. It is surrounded on two sides by the original stone wall (2.8m high) and on all sides by mature trees, including beach, lime, pine, hornbeam and horse chestnut trees, many planted 100 years ago. The present owners planted additional beach trees 35 years ago which are now fully grown and add additional privacy. The property sits on circa 4 acres of mature, well maintained gardens and grounds. The approach is via red brick pillars and up a gravel avenue canopied by a mix of mature trees and hedges. To the front of the property there is a spacious area with ample parking for a number of cars. These gardens would make a perfect spot for summer Barbeques and parties. Passing though the tree line, which forms a natural curtilage, there is a meadow with mature trees which the current owners planted some 35 years ago to ensure the next generation of greenery comes through. The orientation of the lawns is southeast to the side and southwest to the front. There is an enclosed yard to the rear with three original stables which have been converted to use as storage sheds, one of which is insulated with electric lighting and sockets. There is an additional concrete shed and an old boathouse on the grounds.
