Description

"Seaward” located at 17 Harbour Road, offers a unique opportunity to acquire a stunning property in Skerries, one of the finest coastal locations in North County Dublin. Dating back to the 1870's this dual aspect property has a rich history. Originally owned by the 1st Baron Holmpatrick, it later belonged to the owners of the adjacent Red Island House until the 1970's when acquired by the existing family. The current family purchased the property in the 1970's originally as a holiday home and substantially remodelled it to suit their needs and, being next door to the sailing club, have enjoyed many years of idyllic sailing, boating, and water activities since. When not actively participating in these activities, what better way to enjoy the goings on but from the comfort of your own living room or balcony at first floor level, both of which offer commanding views of the harbour and slipway. Morning coffee overlooking the harbour, followed by a leisurely stroll through the garden, out the back gate, and onto South Strand beach for a swim, have been cherished routines. And, of course, nothing beats the breathtaking westerly sunsets over the water, best enjoyed from the private balcony overlooking the harbour. This property brings not only significant history, but also majestic uninterrupted coastal views over the harbour to the front and the South Strand to the rear which includes the Skerries Islands and beyond. With vehicular access from the Harbour Road and private pedestrian access to South Strand beach, the property's mature gardens are afforded total privacy and are not directly overlooked. Special Features & Services • Magnificent seaside property with view of both harbour & beach • Private access to South Shore Beach • Mature grounds not overlooked. • Adjacent Skerries harbour and close to town centre. • Sea and sun facing balcony. • Central Vacuum system. • c. 217 sq m of accommodation • c. 20 minutes' drive from Dublin airport. • c. 35 minutes drive or commuter train to City Centre. The ground floor layout has a spacious entrance/reception area with an accessible garage to the front, a boiler room & storage. There are 2 double bedrooms, an office/3rd bedroom, walk in hot-press, bathroom and laundry room. The entrance hallway is flooded with natural light filtering from the garden. The first floor hosts the primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom, offering stunning views of the beach, islands, and sea. There is also a lounge/family room with formal dining area featuring picture windows that provides spectacular views over the slipway/harbour and sea. Additionally, there is a separate kitchen/dining area with balcony. The balcony has been cleverly designed to ensure uninterrupted views of the sea and harbour even when seated. The living area adjacent to the kitchen provides access to an external spiral staircase leading down to the garden. At the rear of the property the beautiful cut stone walled garden provides access via a spiral stairs to the first-floor family room/kitchen area with views to the South Strand Beach. The rear door from the garden leads to the bright and spacious entrance hall, passing the laundry room. For all the history associated with Seward, it holds one last secret that will undoubtedly appeal to purchasers. Seaward has been extensively redeveloped and was effectively rebuilt in the early 1990s as a modern family home. While preserving the external front character & facade the house was substantially rebuilt, extended, and living accommodation inverted to provide stunning views of the Harbour & Slipway and South Strand from the Kitchen, Garden room, Dining room and Master bedroom all at first floor level. The garden room extension to the rear was a more recent addition (early 2000's) built to maximise views across the stunning rear garden to Skerries Islands and beyond. The rear gardens also provide private beach access to South Strand. Connectivity is the byword for the unbeatable location enjoyed by “Seaward”. Situated only c. 35 minutes' drive or commuter train ride from Dublin's City Centre via the M1 motorway and c. 20 minutes' drive from Dublin International Airport, the property also benefits from excellent bus and rail services. The Town The picturesque and historical seaside town of Skerries has numerous shops, boutiques, pubs, coffee shops and restaurants where you can while away a few hours or spend quality time catching up with old friends. The amenities seem endless for this boutique town with ample educational facilities, sports clubs galore including: Sailing, Rugby, GAA, Soccer, Tennis, Hockey and Golf Clubs all walking distance from Seaward. A little further afield and country pursuits can be enjoyed: Equestrian, Hunting, Fishing, Shooting. Hiking or Walking , ..do you prefer coastal or parkland?.. the choice is yours and, seemingly, endless. The agents unreservedly recommend inspection of this remarkable residence to fully appreciate what is on offer. Skerries is Paradise! Philosophers have for ages studied “the good life” with the assumption that it's something we're still striving towards; that for individuals and society it's always just out of reach. But what if we already have as good a life as anyone on Earth? And who could tell us if that was the case? Step forward British anthropologist Daniel Miller. Having spent decades studying exotic or impoverished ethnic groups across the world, he has turned his attention to Ireland, specifically a small east coast town where he passed 16 months observing and engaging with the locals in Cuan. His findings were published last year in a new book, The Good Enough Life, which makes the jaw-dropping discovery that “it is hard to find another currently existing society that is demonstrably better” than this Dublin suburb. (Cuan is reputedly Skerries!) Please Note - Measurement & Areas All stated areas & measurements are provided for guidance purposes only and are not to be relied on.
