Description
An exceptionally attractive, detached family home sitting on very private southwest facing grounds with trees and hedging of approx. 0.25acre. This secluded property with mature gardens, and three separate patios is situated within a stones' throw of Stillorgan Village offering an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a home in one of South Dublin's most desirable locations. The property was originally part of the Stillorgan Park Golf Club (1908-1917) and there are still signs showing of this with a raised back garden and steps to one of the original tee boxes.
The property is approached by a large, gravelled driveway with the picturesque Glaslower stream bordering the entrance to the property. This old stream runs down from the Dublin Mountains at Sandyford and returns to the sea at Maretimo, Blackrock. The stream used to turn one of the water mills at the brewery on Brewery Road. The stream was incorporated as a water feature of the original Golf Course.
The remainder of the front garden is laid out with lawn and flower beds which contain colourful planting and shrubbery with a beautiful mature Ash tree in the centre. Entrance to the house is through an elegant, ornate wrought iron gates depicting dragon heads.
The original owners of the property were Welsh and had commissioned the wrought Iron Gate to reference their Welsh heritage. This gate opens into an enclosed Spanish style paved courtyard with beautiful white flowered clematis and Boston ivy adorning the walls.
Internally the accommodation retains its original character and an aspect of this unique property is the amount of sunlight that projects throughout the home. This comprises; a porched entrance opening into a double height reception hall with guest wc. The hall faces dual curved doors leading to a very comfortable living room with exposed timber beam ceiling and copper fireplace.
This exceptional room with book shelves along one side opens up to a very pretty south facing patio which is accessible through glazed double doors. This large southwest facing patio area is an ideal spot for entertaining on those long summer evenings.
A kitchen breakfast room is flooded in natural light with a conservatory opening into the rear garden. Another secluded patio provides space for entertaining and BBQ dining. A separate dining room to the front overlooking the gardens completes the accommodation at this level.
At first floor level are four bedrooms, three double and one single bedroom. Three of the bedrooms benefit from dual aspect windows with one of the bedrooms availing of his and her sinks and shower cubicle. A family bathroom completes the internal accommodation.
The stunning garden is a real feature of this home with its enviable sunny south-westerly aspect. It measures approx. 20m (66 ft) in length and is bordered by deep mature high hedging and trees. This immensely private rear garden in a haven for wildlife and an additional side garden offers vast potential for a multiple of uses such as extension of the original property (subject to planning) or space for a garden room.
