detail Breath-taking sea and coastal views abound from this beautiful 2 bedroom detached bungalow originally built in 1856 as a chapel and now providing fantastic residential accommodation with possibilities for further extension into the roof space or holiday letting potential.
The property is entered via a recently added sun room, glazed to 3 sides with a fibregalss roof and roof light window maximising the intake of natural light and the views to the Cumbrian Hills. A stable-type door leads into the main lounge, dining and kitchen area. Twin double glazed uPVC doors face east across the Irish Sea to the Cumbrian Hills whilst a large box bay window takes advantage of the vista to the south across Clay Head and Douglas Head beyond. Clever joinery has utilised the bay window area as additional seating with the option to fold down into a bed to accommodate visiting guests. The area has recently laid wood pattern laminate flooring throughout and is heated by wall mounted radiators or by the traditional wood burning stove. The dining area has pew style corner seating, keeping in character with the original purpose of the building. The kitchen is open to the dining area with laminate tile flooring, upper and lower storage units, free-standing oven/grill/hob, extractor hood and free-standing fridge/freezer.
The hallway provides access to both bedrooms and the shower room.
The main bedroom is carpeted and accommodates a double bed, has built in storage and has two large windows facing south providing wonderful views to wake up to.
Bedroom two has wood pattern laminate flooring and room for a double bed with a shower cubicle to the side and a door giving access to the gable end of the building which houses a workshop/storage area with light, power and shelving and is plumbed for a washing machine/dryer. A door provides access from here out to the rear garden.
The shower room has a white suite comprising WC and wash hand basin, a corner positioned walk-in shower cubicle and has attractive tiling to full ceiling height, ceiling mounted downlighters and ladder-type heated towel rail.
Above the visible ceiling is the original roof vault and timer rafters. This provides the opportunity to explore extending into this space and creating an upper or mezzanine level, subject to planning consent. Planning permission for extension works was granted in 1987, however, this has now expired.
Opposite the main property is a stone storage shed, similar in size to a single garage, with an adjacent driveway with ample space to accommodate 2 small cars or a larger commercial vehicle or motorhome. A second single vehicle driveway is at the property entrance.
The gardens provide an excellent and well maintained space to enjoy the views. There is a lawned area with picnic table and bird feeders. A separate patio area is laid to gravel and has a fish pond irrigated from rain water re-directed from the property roof.
Electricity is via the mains supply, the central heating boiler is oil-fired and sewerage is via a septic tank.
Directions From central Laxey travel north on the A2 past Ard Reayrt to Minorca Crossroads. Turn left into Ballaragh Road (signposted for King Orry's grave) and continue for approx. 1km. Aavioghey is on the left side at the sign for Ballaragh Village.
