Description
Barrington is an exceptional A3-rated detached family residence, ideally positioned at the end of a quiet, mature private road just off Saval Park Road—one of Dalkey's most prestigious addresses. Set on approximately 0.38 acres of beautifully landscaped, level grounds, this remarkable home offers a rare blend of privacy, elegance, and generous living space.
Originally extended in 2004 under the guidance of architect Paul Brazil and comprehensively remodelled in 2020, the property now presents as a turnkey, architecturally refined home with a distinctive American-inspired interior. Secure electric gates open to a private driveway with parking for two cars, leading to a detached double garage with an additional 56 sqm (611 sq. ft.) of versatile space overhead. Steps descend to a beautifully landscaped courtyard patio, setting the tone for the quality found throughout.
The light-filled interior extends to approximately 294 sqm (3,165 sq. ft) and is thoughtfully designed for modern family living. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a cosy sitting room with a feature gas fireplace, while the impressive double-height living room showcases an exposed brick wall, Stovax solid fuel stove, bespoke oak shelving, and French doors opening to the front courtyard. Above, a minstrel gallery provides an ideal home office space.
Also at ground level is a fifth bedroom with a luxurious shower room—perfect for guests or multi-generational living. To the rear lies the heart of the home: a superb open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area. This space features engineered oak flooring and a bespoke Noel Dempsey in-frame Shaker-style kitchen with Miller Brothers granite countertops, a dual-fuel AGA, Liebherr fridge/freezer, and Quooker tap. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the dining area includes a gas stove, a cosy reading nook, and French doors opening onto an expansive southwest facing raised deck with hot tub, overlooking a mature, private rear garden.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned front-facing bedrooms (one en suite) and a contemporary family shower room. The principal suite to the rear is a true retreat, featuring a vaulted ceiling, walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious “his and hers” en suite with roll-top bath and separate shower. French doors open to a Juliet balcony, offering delightful sea views.
Barrington represents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey, contemporary home of exceptional quality in one of South County Dublin's most sought-after locations. Combining refined design, generous proportions, and beautifully landscaped gardens, it offers an ideal balance of luxury, comfort, and privacy—within walking distance of Dalkey Village, excellent schools, and the stunning coastline.
