Glenshamrock Farm is a most attractive and substantial farmhouse constructed in the nineteenth century of stone on two storeys under a pitched slate roof. It is approached from the minor public road via its own private drive to a u-shaped gravelled courtyard enclosed by the house and its two wings which has an extensive parking area. The house has been extended into one wing with the recent addition of a superb one bedroom annex with living room and beautiful full height windows overlooking the extensive patio and lawns.

The other wing of the house contains a workshop and garages with an electric door in the gable end. To the rear of the courtyard are 3 substantial former farm buildings with excellent stables and storage. The land extends to approximately 25.25 acres including newly created turnout paddocks enclosed by post and rail fencing. As a result Glenshamrock is well suited for equestrian use. The property is surrounded by mature coniferous woodland (in other ownership) affording Glenshamrock complete privacy.

With spacious and versatile accommodation, the house has a large entrance hall/utility room with fitted units and sink, with access to the annex and the impressive kitchen/living/dining room with gas stove and feature stone wall. This has an oil fired Aga fitted farmhouse style cream units with terracotta tiled floor, vaulted beamed ceiling and velux skylights, and superb full height windows opening directly onto the terrace to two elevations. A passageway leads to the main part of the house with a study (with extensive fitted shelving), a shower room with large walk-in shower, cosy sitting room with wood burning stove and French windows leading to the garden, drawing room and laundry room (with fitted units and sink).

On the first floor the landing with built in wardrobe provides access to 5 bedrooms and a bathroom, which also leads to the principal bedroom.

There is access from the drawing room into the workshop, and log store, which is open to the garaging (with electric roller door) in the remaining section of the wing.

The annex, reached from the entrance hall is a beautifully converted section of the house with a living room overlooking the patio through full height windows. It has bespoke built-in book shelving and a spiral staircase with frameless glass balustrade to a gallery which could be used as an office/reading area or sleeping platform.
