Description
DNG Rathfarnham are delighted to present Cockadoodledoo, Killakee Road, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16, D16DW22 to the market. This impressive uniquely designed family home offers buyers a rare opportunity to acquire a special property set in a magnificent location with a substantial paddock included.
Positioned on an impressive site of approximately 2.5 hectares/6.2 acres Cockadoodledoo is a Scandinavian designed, Swedish built, energy efficient home boasting impressive accommodation in a quiet and private setting.
Situated just off Killakee Road, a short stroll from Massy's Estate and the Hellfire Club car park Cockadoodledoo is tucked away out of sight and perches above its rolling grazing area and neighbouring fields offering beautiful uninterrupted views of Dublin Bay with Howth visible in the distance on a clear day. At night the view transforms to a wonderful cityscape with twinkling lights including the Poolbeg towers. A truly unique offering, Cockadoodledoo boasts one of the best views of the city and the sea anywhere in the locale.
The fine timber framed and solid wood clad house was built to the highest standards and sits in a lovely position with gravel driveway and spacious parking area to the front and an attractive landscaped garden area to one side with playhouse, climbing wall, swing, slide and gymnastics bar as well as a lovely seating area for al-fresco dining and a cosy covered porch offering an idyllic space to relax with a book even when the weather turns wet. The property also features a generous open space to the other side which provides access to the large field and also houses a convenient storage shed with potential to add further outbuildings such as stables if required. It is very rare for a property with such a large site to come to the market and Cockadoodledoo boasts an approximate 2.5 hectares/6.2 acres most of which forms a very large rolling grazing field fenced on all sides with gated access adjacent to the house. The field would potentially suit any number of needs from grazing lands to horse riding arena, playing field to tennis courts, vegetable or even flower gardens and given its size could accommodate any combination of these or many other uses.
Internally the warm and welcoming home makes extensive use of natural woods, including solid Scandinavian pine floors, to create a pleasant environment benefitting from lots of natural light. Most rooms offer dual aspects with many enjoying the beautiful views over the large paddock and neighbouring farmlands with woodland and Dublin Bay in the distance.
The house has been carefully designed to enjoy a pleasant flow with open-plan living areas blending into each other while still offering separation that prevents the space from feeling cavernous. The generous accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall opening into a large lobby area which in turn leads to a lovely living space with kitchen/diner off. A practical pantry is located off the kitchen space with a separate utility room located just inside the front door off the entrance hall. There are two large double bedrooms downstairs as well as a generous family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower.
Accessed via a beautiful bespoke open-tread wooden staircase the upstairs of the property boasts an expansive landing space with eaves storage, walk-in wardrobe, and bathroom with shower, w.c. and wash basin. On either end of the house are the other two large double bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings, eaves storage and beautiful outlooks over the gardens and paddock respectively.
A beautiful family home, Cockadoodledoo is perfect for those looking for a modern and spacious property set in a peaceful rural location that still benefits from all the amenities essential to modern life only a short drive away. Rathfarnham Village is a mere 10 minutes away by car with the M50 access at Knocklyon only 5 minutes from the house. The area is served by a choice of schools at all levels, an excellent range of sporting clubs, parks and of course beautiful walks and hiking trails. With its impressive paddock Cockadoodledoo would be the ideal property for those with equestrian interests and could potentially produce rental income in whole or part as a grazing space.
A truly special property Cockadoodledoo must be seen to be fully appreciated and viewings can be arranged with selling agent Dan Steen. Accommodation
