Stunning six-bed mansion offers style and substance in abundance

Christmas is a time for wishes, and perhaps the big jolly man in the red coat could help you out with this stunning six-bed home in Barna, which is on the market with a €1.85 million price tag!

The design purpose of Number 10 Scath na Mara in Truskey East goes back to cottage style – the centre of the property (dining area) is a one-storey cottage linked internally by an overhead glass walkway to two separate accommodation areas.

The main footprint of this very distinctive home lends itself to right angles, parallel and perpendicular lines, the interior spatial flow is softened with a curved theme throughout the house, taking in floor to ceiling curved glass windows, curved and spiral staircases, curved wall features, bespoke furniture, dining chairs, sofas, ceiling and lead barn-style roof . . . all integrating the curve feature.

A substantial family residence, it is set on a 1.15-acre site of established gardens, built by the current owners over an 18-month period between 2006 and late 2007.

Designed by Roddy Mannion Architects, every detail has been carefully considered, precise planning has much to do with the success of this impressive property.

All rooms are spacious, well-proportioned and many have a dual aspect taking full advantage of light and views over the landscaped lawns and borders in the garden.

This is a property of scale, extending to 560 sq.m, yet has a luxurious charm that makes it feel comfortable and intimate. The owners took great time and care with no expense spared, when building and fitting out the home.

The attention to detail is second to none. Interior designer ‘Architectural Spaces’ was commissioned with exploring and pushing the curve theme throughout the property, sourcing quality fittings and finishes.

On entering the house, the bespoke stairwell is outstanding as the main feature of this exquisite hall. The stairwell was custom built by Lohan’s Joinery who also crafted the skirting and architraves.

Floors are a mix of solid walnut wood and Italian porcelain tile. Cornice ceilings, solid wood architraves and skirting highlight the quality of finishes.
