Combining contemporary luxury with the relaxation of an authentic rural retreat, Power’s Cottage on the Hill is the ultimate home-away-from-home. Having fallen into disrepair during the late 1970’s, Powers Cottage on the Hill was restored by renowned Irish architect Sean Madigan. Having more recently acquired the property, designer Shaun Clarkson has created within the house, a bridge, both historically and architecturally bringing the original 1920’s working man’s cottage into the 21st Century and enhancing Madigan’s contemporary aspect; a modern extension to the rear of the cottage, providing not only ample space for the luxurious, designer kitchen but also beautiful panoramic views out over acres of Irish countryside.

The cosy, modern shower room, has underfloor heating and is fully tiled. With a curved shower enclosure containing 8 side jets and a rain shower head, toilet and sink, fluffy white towels and dressing gowns, this really is a room to take your time in.

The original part of the cottage, insulated with foot thick walls, houses a double bedroom set off of the main lounge area. The room, complete with double height ceiling right up into the into the eves is furnished with a 6’6” Super King sized bed complete with 400 thread count Egyptian cotton bed linen, a chest of drawers and other choice pieces of 20th Century modern furniture, a beautiful Venetian mirror and a bespoke hand tufted rug.

The Living Room revolves around the traditional log burner and is a beautifully intimate living space with just a touch of modern luxury in the form of flat-screen television, Sky (inc. Netflicks and On Demand) and underfloor heating and a vintage record player complete with a selection of classic vinyl and a 1950’s cocktail cabinet, take you back to earlier times. The room contains a sofa bed allowing for a further two guests to sleep comfortably

The custom built Kitchen is situated at the rear of the house in the more modern part of the cottage and comes fully equipped with double oven, fridge, washing machine and dishwasher. French windows out onto the terrace allow for views over the rolling countryside and an outdoor table and chairs are perfect for a bit of alfresco dining. The Kitchen contains a further sofa bed that sleeps two comfortably and is completed by fully remote control blackout blinds.
