4 Beechwood Grove Kenmare - Kenmare Co. Kerry

Number 4 Beechwood Grove is set in a very quiet and private horseshoe of large luxury homes. Electric gates give you access to these homes. This is a warm and welcoming house with lots of homely touches to ensure that you really do feel you are staying in a home away from home just a 5 minute drive from Kenmare (less than €10 euro in a taxi).

This is a kitchen that was designed to be used during your stay. There is a large island unit with some seating. The main dining table stretches the whole length of the room and can easily seat 10 people. There is a stove at the far end which means it is an inviting space to stay and chat long after the meal has been cleared away.

The utility room is home to the washing machine and tumble dryer and there is a door out to the back garden. Double patio doors also lead from the dining area outside to the paved patio area – a really lovely space to enjoy the peace and setting of this wonderful home.  There is a large back garden area, but parents of young children please beware of the small brook that runs on the perimeter of the property as it is not fenced off.

All four bedrooms are upstairs. The master double bedroom is ensuite with shower. There is another double bedroom with ensuite as well as a twin bedroom and a third double room. In all, this house can very comfortably sleep 6-8 people. The main family bathroom with bath and separate shower is upstairs and there is a guest toilet downstairs.
