Description

Welcome to Aileach, a magnificent four/five bedroom detached residence on glorious, private gardens with the perfect south westerly aspect, extending to 0.3 acres approximately. Aileach is located on the highly desirable and sought after Kilgobbin Road within a 30 second walk to Stepaside village. The property boasts the most amazing backdrop of the Dublin mountains which is an ever-changing vista throughout the seasons, a view one could never get tired of. Set behind private electric gates and tall hedging, Aileach is afforded considerable privacy and seclusion, a rare combination considering the proximity to the village. This wonderfully appointed family home has been refurbished and upgraded many times by the current owners and extends to an expansive 220 sq.m (2368 sq.ft). Upon entering the spacious hallway gives way to all rooms within this home. To the right of the hallway and entered by double doors with a glass inset reflecting light back into the hallway lies the well appointed drawing room. This room is impressive in size running the depth of the house with dual aspect, an impressive marble fireplace taking centre stage and a picture window overlooking the front framing the mature silver birch in the front garden. To the left of the hallway lies the cosy family room with a warm solid oak wooden flooring, another bright and airy room with access to the sunroom with two velux windows and windows on all sides allowing one to enjoy the outlook over the beautiful gardens that surround this home. The kitchen/dining room is to the back of the property, a bright and homely kitchen very much the heart of the home with a large utility room off the kitchen area and French doors to give access to the patio to the rear. Over the years upgrades to note include triple glazed windows, updated bathrooms and ensuite, new flooring, a new kitchen and utility coupled with insulation to the attic area. The sunroom was also added to extend the family room with windows overlooking the gardens. Extensive work has been carried out to the meticulously maintained garden to include an abundance of planting, the addition of many patio areas to enjoy the sunshine, a cobble lock driveway and electric gates. Rising to first floor is a spacious landing. Of particular note to the discerning purchaser is the room that this home has to offer in the attic area. Many similar homes on this road have converted this space quite creatively. The space in the attic holds enormous potential to further expand Aileach for additional accommodation within the home, should one desire. There are four double bedrooms, all with built in wardrobes and two exceptionally large bedrooms with the principal being particularly large and boasting an ensuite. The ensuite has a second door which can also be accessed off the second double bedroom to the front which would be an ideal study/nursery or walk in wardrobe. A family bathroom completes the accommodation on this level. This property not only is the perfect family home but has the most pristine and beautifully manicured gardens with so many mature plants, colourful flower beds and tall hedging of Leylandii to the side and rear, Grisilinea and Portuguese laurel hedging to the front providing excellent privacy and screening. The rear garden is made up of various patios and lawn areas. Accessed from the kitchen lies a large Indian sandstone patio with a Japanese maple tree planted to one side with smart box hedging below. Two pretty apple trees flank steps which lead to the walkway to the second patio area on another side of the garden. The gardens are made up of a large lawned area to the rear coupled with a considerable side garden which also offers potential for further extend or develop subject to the necessary planning permission. The gardens boast many specimen trees with the most beautiful Japanese red acer to the left of the front door and many colourful flowerbeds. The gardens have the perfect south westerly aspect for sunshine every moment of the day until late evening. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate what Aileach has to offer. The property is ideally located, within moments' walk to Stepaside Village with many shopping and leisure facilities, including Supermarket, Beauty Salon, Hairdresser, Butchers and Fish Shop.
