Description
Burnham is a truly distinguished mid-19th century Victorian residence, set behind mature gardens on one of Monkstown's most desirable roads. Combining period elegance with modern comfort, this exceptional home has been meticulously maintained and sympathetically refurbished, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey property of remarkable quality.
Originally built circa 1850, the house has been carefully upgraded in recent years to provide every contemporary convenience while preserving the grandeur and craftsmanship of its era. Approached through electronic gates and sheltered by high boundary walls, the property enjoys complete privacy just moments from the heart of Monkstown village.
A gravelled driveway, framed by granite setts, box hedging and landscaped planting, leads to a flight of granite steps with ornate iron railings and the impressive Victorian entrance, complete with fanlight and decorative tiling.
The reception hall immediately conveys a sense of scale, with soaring ceilings, intricate cornicing and a fine decorative arch. The interconnecting drawing and dining rooms provide superb entertaining space, enhanced by feature bay windows, ornate fireplaces and folding doors allowing the rooms to be opened or separated as required. A further reception room, currently in use as a study, features a large sash window and custom cabinetry. Oak chevron parquet flooring enhances the period character throughout this level, while a guest cloakroom and bathroom complete the accommodation at hall level.
At first floor, a sweeping staircase leads to four generously proportioned double bedrooms, including the main bedroom with en suite, and a well-appointed family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms enjoy wonderful views across to the Dublin Mountains.
At garden level, a striking open-plan kitchen, dining and family space forms the true heart of the home. Designed by Bulthaup, the kitchen is finished with tiled flooring and underfloor heating, while full-height sliding glass doors open onto a secluded south-facing deck, ideal for al fresco dining. The family area features a raised fireplace, creating a warm focal point for winter evenings. This level also includes a large utility, guest w.c., comms/plant room, and a versatile additional room, perfect as a fifth bedroom or home gym.
Positioned in an unrivalled location, Burnham offers seclusion and convenience in equal measure. Monkstown village, with its boutique shops, cafes and restaurants, is just a short stroll away, while the seafront, coastal walks, Seapoint and Monkstown DART stations are all within easy reach. Renowned schools, world-class sailing clubs, tennis clubs and scenic coastal cycle routes are also on the doorstep, making Burnham one of Monkstown's finest family homes. Accommodation
