HEADVIEW
Headview is a fine Victorian house set in an attractive and private rural setting yet within walking distance of Lismore. Adjoining open countryside, the house has wonderful far -reaching views to the mountains and to Helvick Head on the coast, from whence its name originates. Headview was undoubtedly part of the vast Devonshire Estate at one time with the main part of the house believed to date from 1880 and the earlier part predating this by perhaps a century. The property has been much improved in recent years to blend light and gracious living space with high ceilings and sash windows together with modern convenience. The spacious well- proportioned accommodation extends to some 340 sq m (3600 sq ft) and includes three reception rooms, two kitchens, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. There are c.2 hectares of paddock, gardens and grounds with two renovated cottages, delightful walled garden, hard tennis court and pavilion with sauna and hot tub.
