Description

Tradewinds is undoubtedly one of the nicest coastal residences to come on the market this year. Situated about 150 metres from Bullock Harbour and just off Harbour Road the property occupies a wonderfully private and secure south facing site. The property was substantially redesigned and rebuilt by the present owners in 2006, who have been meticulous in upgrading and maintaining the house since. The interior of the house is beautifully presented to make the most of its setting. The colour palette used throughout the house is one of neutral tones of greys and off-whites. Hardwood timber floors are used throughout the property. The accommodation extends to 266 sq. m. over two levels and there is a third attic level. The ground floor, with its dramatic treble height entrance hall and floor to ceiling stained glass window, set the tone for the rest of the house. The use of wide plank brushed oak timber floors throughout the ground floor adds to it's appeal. Down stairs rooms ceiling heights at 2.7 m are higher than normal which gives an airy feel. There is a tastefully appointed formal living room with a Jotul stove and bow window with French doors which open out to the south facing patio area and garden. The family kitchen and den area are the centre and heart of this home. The kitchen includes a beautifully handcrafted bespoke kitchen by cabinet maker Frank Hendy of Skibbereen. The kitchen units provide plenty of storage and surround the classic red four-oven Aga. The kitchen interconnects with the sunroom dining area with its lantern ceiling. One step down takes you to the den area which includes TV and storage units also by Frank Hendy. The kitchen, den and sunroom all open through three sets of French doors to the patio and garden. There is additional storage in the utility room adjacent to the kitchen. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms all of which are ensuite. The principal bedroom comes complete with walk in wardrobe and full bathroom suite. A spacious walk-in linen cupboard completes the accommodation on first floor. A second smaller spiral staircase leads to a gallery and two overhead attic rooms extremely practical for storage and exceptionally easy to access. Tradewinds is extremely energy efficient and enjoys a BER B2 energy rating. There is a Geothermal underfloor heating downstairs with gas heating upstairs, solar panels for hot water production and a pressurised water system throughout. Externally the grounds are as exceptional as the house itself designed by award winning designer Robert Moore they are truly delightful with an enviable south facing orientation. The gardens were designed around the slope of the site with a series of tiered levels, with extensive use of local granite stone and brick to create shape, texture and interest to this lovely garden. The garden was designed to be low maintenance. A beautiful lead roofed Lavenham summer house, designed to catch the evening sun, completes the garden. High hedges and granite walls screen the garden and car parking area and ensure privacy. Secure electric gates enclose an area for parking for up to four cars and a large boathouse/workshed. Automatic outside lights ensure convenience and security. This parking /work area is separate from the garden and the house, wonderfully screened and accessed by an attractive brick-arched door from the garden. The property is ready for immediate occupation and will appeal to both empty nesters and the family market alike due to its secure and private location within walking distance of Dalkey village, Sandycove and Glasthule and the DART is a 12 minute walk away. The location needs little introduction, situated in the heart of Dalkey Heritage Village and just a stroll from Bulloch Harbour, the renowned Forty Foot bathing area, Dalkey village, Sandycove and Glasthule. Dalkey offers a host of excellent amenities with Dublin Bay on its doorstep as well as speciality shops, a host of restaurants, public transport links, churches and enjoyable scenic walks. There is also a selection of excellent schools including Loreto Abbey, St. Patrick's National School, Castlepark School, Rathdown and St. Joseph of Cluny.
