Description
Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to present Rose Cottage to the market. This impressive home is a stunning example of modern living with incredible architectural flair and design throughout. The property was completely rebuilt and the labour of love which took many years was fully complete in 2019 with the highest quality of materials and craftmanship both inside and out and from the foundations right the way up to the roof, creating a unique A-rated, passive home with up to the minute specification to include the highest specification of insulation throughout, an air to water heating system which is the most cost efficient, modern and effective way to heat a home with underfloor heating throughout, triple glazed windows, a home ventilation system, LED lighting throughout, a Smart home system which operates the alarm, CCTV and blinds from an app on your phone and there is surround sound throughout. The quality of the build includes hand cut granite surrounding walls running around the perimeter of the property, this hand cut granite also features on the exterior of the property itself, there are granite sills, zinc gutters, facia, soffits and roof capping, the underside of the balconies are cedar wood, each floor of the house is constructed with concrete and extensive ground work was put in place with tonnes of concrete poured on top of the natural granite rock underneath so the foundations are completely solid and the riverside of the house is protected by Gabion baskets. Design and detail also went into the gradient of the front and driveway all of which ensures this property is 100% flood proof.
Running alongside the Owendore River, they have created a haven of tranquility, sympathetic to its sylvan setting with beautiful views over the river which can be admired from inside this home through the large gallery windows and also from the incredible decked area which runs up the side of the house along the edge of the river and captures breath-taking views.
Located behind high granite stone cut walls and electronic gates, there is a gravel sweeping driveway leading down to the large, detached garage of 51sqm, with a remote shutter and power. Following on down this driveway you come to the main house, which is laid out over three floors, with an elevator in the hallway, giving you the option to skip the stairs and take the easy way up to each floor. To the right of the hallway there is another garage which is part of the house but is constructed in such a way that would lend itself to becoming a self-contained unit if the need was there and is fully set up for this. Also on the ground floor of the house is the high-quality utility room. On the first floor lies the main bedroom wing with three double bedrooms (master ensuite and walk in dressing room and also has a balcony off it). There is a family bathroom and walk in hotpress also on this floor. The second floor boasts higher than average ceilings with a height of 2.7m and a spacious landing area with a workspace / study area and a viewing gallery overlooking the picturesque views and allowing an abundance of natural light to flow through. This floor comprises the fourth bedroom and shower room along with the living room and balcony off it. There is also a spacious, high-quality kitchen / dining room.
The grounds surrounding this outstanding home are equally of such high quality! From the granite cut walls, the sweeping gravel driveway bordered by raised flower beds and lighting. There is also the unbelievably stunning riverside garden which is enclosed with stainless steel balustrades and childproof toughened glass overlooking the river. There is a large composite deck area for lounging and relaxing in this haven of absolute tranquility. Steps lead up to the higher-level garden which has a retaining wall and groundworks in place for a swimming pool if desired. As it stands, it is cobbled locked with lawn areas and wide gates accessed from the road.
Private and enclosed, it has two gates to the front which are remote-controlled and are accessed with an intercom system. There is a graveled driveway bordered by raised flower beds with lights on timers. Underground conduits for power from the front to the back of the grounds and also outside water supply.
The riverside of the house has a 12.5m x 3.35m composite decked area which is the perfect lounging spot. There are galvanized steps leading to the raised garden which is paved and has a 14ft slider gate.
Set on the foothills of the Dublin mountains, yet close to the main hub of Rathfarnham and M50 road network, this home has the best of both worlds! It enjoys a stunning peaceful sylvan setting where you feel you can switch off, unwind and get away from it all, with only the calming sound of the river flowing by, the rustling of trees as they move in the wind and birds singing, this is truly a haven of tranquility. It does also benefit from being only moments from local shops on Taylors Lane, bigger shopping facilities in Rathfarnham and Knocklyon with Tesco and SuperValu only a short drive, there are many local bars, coffee shops and restaurants within close proximity and an array of excellent schools and sporting facilities. The airport is a 20-minute drive, and the city centre is only 9km.
This is a unique home of the highest quality, in a rural setting but only moments from every conceivable amenity.
