Description

The Howth Peninsula is home to an outstanding natural landscape and an exceptional architectural heritage that boasts Ireland's oldest occupied building at Howth Castle. Howth has long been a sought after address and offers exceptional local amenities in a stunning maritime setting with the added strategic benefit of easy access to Dublin City Centre and International Airport. Here at the summit of the hill, Turley Property Advisors are delighted to offer Hilltop for sale in three lotts. The highest residential property, we believe, on Howth hill, is an exceptional extra-large detached property spanning over 500sqm, this Palladian style residence offers a timeless ambience in this peaceful oasis, secluded by mature trees, on approximately three acres of gardens. Panoramic sea views and outstanding natural light are the defining features of the two spacious reception rooms of the main house. High ceilings, ornate period fireplaces and floor to ceiling French doors blend beautifully to make these rooms comfortable for formal and informal gatherings with family and friends alike. It is often said that the kitchen is the heart of the house and in Hilltop, this is certainly the case. This house has redefined the kitchen and at over 90sqm alone, has an expansive living, dining and kitchen space, which flow easily into one another and casually opens to embrace the paved patio, ideal for alfresco dining. Three acres of elegant gardens lie beyond the wrap around patio. Upstairs in the main house is the master bedroom which has a feature port-hole window with sea views. There is a home office / walk in wardrobe next to this bedroom, where one can access a flat roof, which has magnificent uninterrupted views of Dublin Bay, and uninterrupted views of the Mourne Mountains to the North stretching down to The Sugar Loaf south. There is a second hallway to the main house next to the kitchen, where one can access the second bedroom which is also dual aspect. This room has an en-suite and storage room/walk-in wardrobe. There is a two bedroom self-contained dormer bungalow annex to the left of the property which could, with the help of a good architect, be incorporated into the main property. The annex comprises a spacious living room leading to a south facing sun room. There is a fully fitted kitchen and a bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both of which are en-suite and a hotpress. Hilltop is approached via two electric gates and a tarmacadam driveway providing secure parking for several cars. There is also a single car garage, which has spacious accommodation directly overhead which is accessed through a separate entrance. The vast gardens offer keen horticulturalists an opportunity to enjoy a tranquil paradise with complete privacy from the road and neighbouring properties without disturbing the incredible views. Of particular note is the stunning eucalyptus tree in the front garden and the array of other imported plants from around the world. To the rear of the house lies a further four acres of land, which is currently zoned High Amenity. This can be sold with the main house or separately. While in need of some modernising, Hilltop is a wonderful family home in in one of Dublin’s most sought after locations. Location Howth is one of Dublin's finest addresses and Hilltop occupies an elevated sloping site directly on Windgate Road, close to Coastal Walks and the Summit Inn with easy access to all the great amenities of Howth. This fine residence is a short walk to the local shop and pub at the Summit, and is only a few minutes' drive to all the amenities Howth has to offer, including shops, restaurants and fresh seafood from the Pier. There is a frequent bus service (31) at the summit and the DART in Howth will offer ease of access to all parts of the capital. There are excellent girls and boy's schools in the Howth / Sutton peninsula, and one is spoilt for choice for sporting and recreational clubs, breath taking hill & coastal walks. The property is also close Dublin Airport and the Motorway network are nearby.
