Description

A magnificent, detached family home of charm and distinction that was constructed in the late 1990's that comes to the market for the first time in almost 30 years. It occupies arguably one of the finest positions within the Ballybride Manor Development. This is an oasis of peace and tranquillity situated in a rural yet urban setting minutes from a wide selection of highly regarded amenities and facilities, prominent schools, excellent transport via the N11, M50, Luas and DART as well as a myriad of shopping solutions. Argyle, 4 Ballybride Manor is a substantial 5 bedroom family home with beautifully appointed accommodation that is securely positioned behind wrought iron electric gates boasting professionally landscaped gardens and grounds that compliment the property wonderfully extending to just under one acre. This outstanding state of the art trophy home extends to approximately 480 sq.m / 5,167 sq.ft (to include the mews) and underwent a complete refurbishment in 2009. No expense was spared by the current owners and the attention to detail and calibre of finish rarely if ever graces the market. The bright and airy light infused accommodation is entered through double folding solid timber doors. The reception hall complete with bespoke solid walnut doors and architraves, solid antique French oak floors also has a newly commissioned walnut staircase. This accesses a home office with built in storage, a drawing room with dual aspect windows and a beautiful antique marble fireplace. The extremely generous living room at the rear of the property has a wall of glass and double folding French doors opening to the sunny west facing rear garden. Sliding Rimadesio smoked glazed doors open into the bespoke Porter and Jones top of the range kitchen with Timmy Dunleavy inspired natural stone worktops and solid walnut breakfast bar. The appliances are Viking, Miele and Fischer and Paykal enhancing and optimising the cooking experience. Double folding French doors open out to an Indian sandstone patio complete with remote control awning making this a haven for dining al fresco. A well stocked laundry, cloakroom and guest facilities conclude the accommodation at this level. An exquisite, very generous main suite with dual aspect windows, elevated fireplace with gas fire, luxurious en suite bathroom and a fantastic fully fitted walk-in dressing room greets one at the first floor level and two further large double bedrooms one with a separate sitting room that share a Jack and Jill shower room. The entire of the top floor of the property is dedicated to a very large fourth bedroom complete with vaulted ceiling, excellent wardrobe provisions, an ensuite shower room and further designated storage. To the side of the main house is a detached mews residence incorporating a garage and is presented in superb decorative order throughout and is ideal versatile accommodation to house a family member or even as an au pair's quarters. It extends to a comfortable extra 100 sq.m (1,075 qs.ft) and it has its own patio and garden with artificial grass and an electric awning. The property comes to the market in turn-key walk-into condition and allows the new owner to literally move in and hang their coat. Every facet of this stunning property has been completely refurbished to provide a high B3 Energy Rating ensuring that the property is fully futureproofed for years to come. A particular feature of this stunning family home is the impressive professionally designed, landscaped, mature gardens. To the front wrought iron electric gates open into a gravelled roundabout that provides secure parking for many cars. The luminated front offers immense privacy as it is surrounded by trees, a selection of specimen plants, mature planting and herbaceous borders. The rear garden is particularly impressive. Directly to the rear of the house and mews are two patio areas both with remote control awnings. Next is a Japanese Zen garden with water feature rockery, bridge over to a patio area with a varied selection of trees and planting. Garden arches lead onto an extensive lawn which is an extremely safe environment for children to kick balls and play games to their hearts content. To the side a pergola and raised flower beds has a gravelled path that also accesses the large lawn. The garden and grounds extend to just under one acre. This is an ideal location in a rural style setting surrounded by mature trees and hedging and within easy reach of local shopping facilities in Shankill Village, the DART station and library as well as major shopping centres in Bray and Cornelscourt, The Park, Carrickmines and Dundrum Shopping Centre all easily accessible off the M50. The LUAS at Cherrywood allows frequent access to and from the city centre. The M50 makes commuting to the city centre, the airport and nationwide very simple.
