Roughty Bridge View

About this property

Kenmare 1.8 miles. Tucked away in the sleepy settlement of Roughty Bridge, a short drive east of the town of Kenmare, County Kerry, lies this charming, five-bedroom holiday home, Roughty Bridge View. Situated near the banks of the tranquil Roughty River, boasting off-road parking for up to six cars, pristine surrounding gardens, and excellent views of the surrounding countryside, this tasteful property welcomes a large family or a group of sharing friends for relaxing, self-catered escape just south of the Killarney National Park. Park up and step into your new home-from-home, where you will be greeted by a variety of well-presented living spaces, complete with traditional embellishments and décor. A well-equipped kitchen/diner awaits the chosen chef, whilst ample dining seating can be found in both the sitting and dining room, both spaces featuring their own roaring open fireplaces. An exquisitely-handcrafted mahogany staircase leads you to the first-floor, where you will find four of the five bedrooms, each fitted with ample storage and their own wash basins, whilst a sunroom with seating enjoys spectacular views looking out towards the rolling hills that encompass your new lodgings. After you've savoured your morning coffee sitting at the picnic bench in the garden, head out and explore what your local area has in store. A trip into nearby Kenmare will allow you to stock up on essentials at Centra Kenmare of the ALDI supermarket, whilst a plethora of restaurants, including the Lime Tree Restaurant and Lily House Thai & Chinese Restaurant, are waiting to be booked if you fancy a break from cooking one evening. For a relaxing day out, enjoy a round of golf at the Kenmare Golf Club, or embark on a peaceful stroll through the serene setting of Reenagross Woodland Park. Further afield, the Killarney National Park is home to several noteworthy attractions, such as the rushing waters of Owengarriff River and the beautiful Torc Waterfall. Enjoy all of this and more when you book a stay at Roughty Bridge View.
