Description
Knocknagow is a truly exceptional detached dormer-style residence of immense style and character, superbly positioned in a mature and highly sought-after location on Yellow Walls Road, just a stone's throw from the pedestrian gates of Malahide Castle and its magnificent grounds. The property also enjoys the convenience of being within a short stroll of Malahide Village, with its excellent range of restaurants, boutiques, renowned pubs, schools, churches, and DART station. Scenic walks along the estuary and coastline are all close by, offering an enviable lifestyle.
Constructed in 2011 to an exceptional standard, Knocknagow was expertly designed by Tyler Owens Architects. Behind its elegant façade lies a beautifully appointed interior, offering gracious formal and family accommodation with light-filled rooms and a host of unique architectural features. The property has been meticulously maintained and presented with impeccable taste, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.
Among the many outstanding features are a natural Spanish slate roof, a bespoke country-style kitchen by Alan Brown, tumbled marble honed flooring in the reception hall, kitchen, guest WC and utility room, high-quality Carlson windows, and gas-fired central heating with a recently upgraded boiler, complemented by underfloor heating in the kitchen and utility. The gardens were professionally redesigned in 2019, and the property is further enhanced by electronic security gates.
An impressive reception hall makes a striking first impression, featuring a tumbled marble floor, decorative wall panelling, and an overhead gallery-style landing. A bespoke winding staircase leads to the upper floor, while a guest cloakroom and WC are conveniently located off the hall. Steps lead down to the expansive family living area to the rear.
The elegant drawing room is positioned to the front and benefits from dual-aspect windows, including a feature bay window, ensuring an abundance of natural light. A refined fireplace and wide plank mahogany flooring complete this sophisticated space.
To the rear, a magnificent open-plan family room, dining area, and kitchen span the full width of the property, forming the heart of the home. Tumbled marble flooring with underfloor heating, mood lighting, and large roof lights create a bright and inviting environment. The kitchen, designed by Alan Brown in a classic country style, features an excellent range of fitted units, marble worktops, a central island, a Rangemaster cooker, and premium appliances including a Fisher & Paykel American fridge. A separate utility room provides additional storage and access to the side entrance.
The family area is enhanced by attractive wall panelling and a dedicated TV space, while two sets of double doors open onto the beautifully landscaped rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. At ground floor level, there are two generously sized ensuite bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family living or guests.
Upstairs, the striking winding staircase leads to a spacious gallery landing. The principal bedroom suite is located to the rear and features a large picture window overlooking the garden, a private dressing area, and a luxurious ensuite. There are two further bedrooms on this level both with attractive ceiling detail and complemented by a superb family bathroom.
Outside, the gardens are a standout feature, having been professionally redesigned in 2019. The front garden is accessed via electronic security gates and is laid out in a gravel courtyard style, providing secure off-street parking. A side entrance leads to the magnificent rear garden, which has been expertly landscaped with extensive patio and terrace areas, colourful flower beds, and a low-maintenance artificial lawn.
Combining architectural excellence, luxurious finishes, and a prime location close to Malahide Village, Knocknagow represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of true distinction. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that it has to offer. Accommodation
