Description

Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to present Ballinglen to the market. Located in this quiet, exclusive enclave off Stocking Lane, where just 13 unique properties stand. This superb architect designed house, which was built in 1980 as the current owners dream home, is a piece of country heaven close to all the amenities of the city. Set on approx. 1.25 acres of beautiful grounds, this spectacular property is designed over split levels, with raised reception rooms which take full advantage of panoramic views across Dublin, Howth, Lambay Island, and beyond to the Mourne Mountains. The clever design takes you into an impressive entrance hall with high ceilings and a mezzanine level which is an ideal library area. There is a guest wc off the hall. The living room, dining room, study and master bedroom all take in the sweeping views across Dublin Bay. Off the master bedroom there is a large ensuite bathroom and a gorgeous balcony area. From the living room and family room there is access to a spacious, secluded elevated terrace which is just stunning. The large kitchen / breakfast room is surrounded by windows and is flooded with natural light. There is also a large pantry adjacent to the kitchen. Downstairs lies the bedroom wing with four further bedrooms, two bathrooms, laundry room, large walk-in hotpress and a wine cellar. There is access to the carport from here as well as to the structure of another room that was just never finished. This space when complete would make a superb cinema room or games room. The bedroom accommodation on the lower ground level overlooks the magnificent gardens which was the owners labour of love, nurtured with great care and enthusiasm. Not only did the owners have a vision for their dream home, but also being avid gardeners, they also set about designing their dream garden! There garden features a number of different areas including a kitchen garden which has produced a variety of fruit, vegetables and berries and a Victorian herb garden, inspired by Ballymaloe cookery school. There was always immense joy associated with producing family meals homegrown from the garden. In addition, the mature trees give a beautiful sylvan setting to the grounds. This exclusive development has a fantastic sense of country living, of tranquillity and of seclusion, yet only 30 minutes from the city centre and Dublin Airport via the M50, it is superbly convenient to many of Dublin's best schools and within easy reach of a variety of recreational and retail amenities. Located off Stocking Lane, all the conveniences of Rathfarnham and Knocklyon can be accessed in no more than 10 minutes by car including SuperValu Knocklyon, Rathfarnham Shopping centre and shops in Woodstown and Rosemount, Ballyroan; excellent primary and secondary schools are also in abundance. A perfect home for outdoor enthusiasts with St Enda's, Marlay and Bushy Parks nearby, as well as playgrounds, sports and leisure facilities, adjacent golf clubs, stables and exhilarating walking trails and leisure facilities in Dublin and Wicklow Mountains.
