Description

Family home on about 2.2 acres of landscaped gardens and paddock Description Grove Lodge was built in 1993 and over its lifetime has been extended and upgraded with great care and attention to detail. The property is ideal for families who are looking for more space both inside and outside while remaining within touching distance of Dublin City and Airport. Off the quiet road and through pillared gates, the gravelled driveway, lined by mature trees and hedgerow, leads to the front of the house with enough parking for up to 5 cars. The house is exceptionally well finished with wide plank oak flooring in the living spaces, high quality tiling in bathrooms, coving throughout the home and Rationel windows and doors. The main living area of the house is a real treat. Connected to the kitchen/dining area, the sunroom/living room is where most of the day-to-day living happens. The wood burning stove, the French doors to the terrace and the view of the paddock, makes this area of the home very special and used year-round. The bedroom accommodation is spacious and comfortable, and each has the advantage of beautiful garden views, oak flooring and tasteful decoration. There is an en suite off the master bedroom and a fitted wardrobe in one of the bedrooms. Upstairs there is a games room, study and a family room, all of which are light filled and airy. The accommodation extends to about 250 sq m / 2,690 sq ft and a full layout of the accommodation is shown on the adjoining floorplans. Garden and Grounds Grove Lodge sits at the centre of 2.2 acres comprising a paddock (1.2 acres), beautifully designed and maintained gardens (.5 acre) and a mature, mixed orchard (.5 acre). The main garden is a private, tranquil oasis on the east and south facing sides of the house. It includes lawns, herbaceous perennials, grasses, shrubs, climbing roses and mature specimen trees (beech, birch and a variety of maples). Also on the south side is a courtyard garden with sandstone paving and planting including old roses and crab apple trees. There is a large vegetable garden on the west side of the house, which is divided into small, easily managed but highly productive no-dig beds. The orchard was planted in 2005 and includes dessert and cooking apples, plums, damsons, cherry, pears, cobnuts and hazels and a fruit garden planted with raspberries, red currants, blackcurrants and gooseberries. For a number of years, the owners have produced cider from the apples grown in the orchard. The gardens have been developed with nature in mind and are a haven for wildlife and rich in biodiversity. There is also a large glass house (8' x 12') and a large polytunnel (10' x 32' ). Paddock The paddock is currently in grass, bounded by mature trees and has a well-defined boundary with separate access to the road. The paddock is multi-functional but would be ideal for someone with an equine interest. It may be possible to construct stabling on site subject to the relevant planning permission.
