Description
An opportunity presents itself to acquire a fine country home in rural county Dublin, Clonswords, a fine period house on c.2 5 acres that has benefitted from significant upgrading & modernising works in recent years. Only minutes’ drive to Dublin airport & the M50 and an easy commute to the City. Clonswords is tucked away on the outskirts of popular Ballyboughal village, accessed via a private driveway sheltered by a canopy of trees that also shield, protect and maintain the privacy of the property. Bespoke iron gates, electrically operated, compliment the entrance. There are mature, well planted gardens with a vast array of trees & shrubs, a tennis court, mature stands of timber around the main house and a stone pond with water feature.
From the gardens a granite portico accesses the impressive and welcoming hallway. There are dual aspect and spacious drawing and sitting rooms, the latter with French doors to a large, bright west facing conservatory which invites the countryside into the house. The ground floor accommodation is completed to the rear of the house with a large Kitchen / Dining room with stairway to the “Mezz. Den” above! This is a true country kitchen in the finest tradition where the family gather, decisions are made, the day’s victories & losses are analysed - you won’t be disappointed!
The first floor is comprised of a light filled landing area with views over the front garden, Master Suite with private shower room and four more large bedrooms. The family bathroom is accessed from the main landing and has a four-piece suite including a free-standing, roll top, bath.
Outside, there are four garages / outbuildings and a hay barn in the small rear yard which you pass through to access the rear paddock. The rear paddock is suitable for horses or any number of alternate farming / horticultural uses and the outbuildings could easily convert to stables or other uses.
