Description
Glenbourne House is a truly unique residence positioned on just under half an acre/0.5 acre of land. Accessed through electric gates and framed by a castellated granite wall which leads to a spacious gravelled driveway offering generous off-street parking. The gravel drive sweeps around to the side of the property where it provides access to the front of the house. This is a great family home, suitable for entertaining on a grand scale.
The classic granite façade offers a taste of the charm that lies within. Inside, the home boasts grand, high-ceilinged rooms, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall accessed through double doors. The drawing room and formal dining room both feature elegant bay windows, decorative coving, and distinctive fireplaces, while two additional reception rooms offer flexible living space. At the heart of the home is a large, contemporary kitchen with an Aga stove, ample room for a family dining table, and direct access to the garden. A rear hall leads to a guest toilet and a generously sized utility room. Upstairs, there are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite with ensuite, a large family bathroom, and second toilet as well as extensive storage throughout.
A self-contained annex attached to the main house suitable for a granny flat, guest accommodation or home office with direct access to the courtyard garden.
The front of the property features a beautifully maintained lawn with mature hedging with a striking Poplar tree. From here there is direct pedestrian access to The Gallops Luas Station. At the rear, a walled courtyard garden with a manicured lawn and a magnificent Willow tree creates a private, sun-soaked outdoor haven, enjoying a south-westerly orientation ideal for all-day sunlight. The courtyard also provides vehicular access and entry points from both the annex and the main house. A large, granite-built garage / workshop offers invaluable additional storage.
Perfectly located just a short walk from The Gallops Luas Station, Glenbourne House offers convenient access to Dundrum, Sandyford, Leopardstown, and Stepaside. Nearby amenities include Leopardstown Shopping Centre, local golf clubs, Stepaside Village, Westwood Health Club, Dundrum Town Centre, and Beacon Hospital. Families will appreciate the proximity to Holy Trinity National School and a wide range of other excellent primary and secondary schools. Transport links are superb, with multiple bus routes, immediate access to the M50, and the nearby N11. Accommodation
