High-tech on the edge of wilderness

Moycullen €695,000The village of Moycullen is fast becoming a popular residential location for many professional Galwegians, with the city just 15 minutes' drive away and the wilderness of Connemara almost on the doorstep.

Kylebroughlan, a large modern build with high-tech interiors, has just arrived on the market. Built in 2011 and designed by a young Galway couple, the house is in a small development with a shared driveway in Moycullen shrouded by mature Rhododendron bushes.

The attention to detail in this property is dazzling. Any budding chef will adore the streamlined kitchen. All appliances are Miele and are integrated, including the bean-to-cup coffee-maker, induction hob and wok station. The extractor hood descends and rises at the push of a button ensuring safety for taller chefs.

A Quooker instant hot tap dispenses with the need for a kettle. Painted in muted colours with warm grey Silestone counters, the kitchen overlooks a large patio accessed by large sliding doors with outdoor speakers integrated into the property’s surround sound music system. Heated by a geothermal water system, the house has a BER of A3, which is surprising considering the amount of full-height glass used throughout. There are many corner windows looking out onto the back garden, which has mature trees.

The house has two living areas, one just off the kitchen/ dining area with a ceiling that soars to 30 feet. The second is a more formal room painted in warm sage with dark oak flooring. The house has four bedrooms and another room, which is used as a playroom. The master bedroom is huge with a walk-in closet complete with a laundry chute to the utility room downstairs.

The bathrooms are all large with ceiling-mounted rain showers and high-end white ware. All are painted in the popular Farrow and Ball grey called Elephant’s Breath, giving a cool modern hue to this swanky residence. Beside the house is another building, which houses a fitted gym and office.

A mechanical air ventilation system has been installed, so cooking smells don’t linger and windows do not need to be opened, which will be a relief to potential buyers with young children.

New owners could develop the front garden, which borders the shared driveway. This high-spec house will appeal to buyers with a penchant for modern design and technology who want the best of both village and city life.
