Description

HJ Byrne Estate Agents are delighted to present the opportunity to acquire a truly unique home designed with both style and comfort in mind. Ferndale Road is set in an olde worlde location enjoying the best of both worlds, while giving the impression of country living, yet only minutes from all amenities and enjoying one of South County Dublins best address – Rathmichael. This charming cottage is deceptively spacious having been extended and redesigned and offers 156 square metre of cosy accommodation which successfully combines up to the minute, instantly appealing design with a contemporary classic feel. The interior is bright and spacious yet still maintains its original cosy cottage atmosphere. Fernbrook Cottage provides the discerning purchaser with all the charm and character of a period home but with all life’s modern essentials. The cottage is steeped in history, originally built in 1784 and was original part of the Old Connaught Estate owned by Baron William Plunkett, today it’s far from the original footprint having had a deep retro fit and extension completed in 1994. This home boasts truly superb features including a stunning open plan kitchen diner family room with bespoke custom made kitchen and a light filled family room with direct access to the rear garden. A further elegant living room is flooded with natural light. Magnificent bedroom accommodation includes four generous bedrooms, two of which boast views of the golf club. A luxurious family bathroom complete with roll-top bath completes the accommodation. While the interior is sure to impress outside won’t let this wonderful home down – the gardens extend to circa 0.33 acres and have been meticulously landscaped and designed. The rear enjoys a wonderful sunny westerly orientation and really needs to be viewed to truly appreciate it - an outdoor living space with central fireplace creates a breathtaking central point with wide steps leading up to an extensive lawn with wonderful garden room featuring a raised American style veranda providing an ideal space for a home office or guest accommodation. The seaside town of Bray is within a five minute drive and has a host of amenities to appeal to the whole family, from great restaurants and shops to beautiful parks together with wonderful coastal walks. This mature setting is close to excellent public transport links including a range of Dublin Bus services providing regular bus routes to Dublin City Centre, DART service in Bray, LUAS service at the Brides Glen and Aircoach service providing easy access to Dublin Airport. This ideal location gives the occupiers access to an excellent range of schools both primary and secondary.
