Set on glorious and exceptionally private, lawned gardens of approximately a half an acre, Kirkland is an instantly appealing 4 bedroomed detached residence. Situated at the foothills of the Dublin mountains, this unique and special home offers the best of both worlds – an idyllic rural setting, within just a 3 minutes’ drive of Kilternan village and local shopping. Originally a stone mason’s cottage, the property was completely transformed and extended by the current owners in 1990 to the present spacious and inviting home. With an overall footprint amounting to approx. 253.15 sq m / 2,724.88 sq ft, this wonderful property boasts meticulously maintained, light filled interiors. Kirkland offers a superb opportunity for the discerning purchaser to acquire a substantial family home in an enchanting and exclusive setting.

Approached via electric entrance gates, with long paved driveway, there is parking for several cars to the front and side of the property alongside the detached garage. The hall door, featuring beautiful stained glass side panels, opens to an impressive entrance hall with ceramic tiled flooring, with turned staircase leading to the first floor. To the right of the hall is the “long room”, a delightful dual aspect living / dining room, spanning the full depth of the property. This is the first of four spacious reception rooms. Turning left from the entrance hall there are two further beautifully appointed interconnecting reception rooms, both positioned to the front of the property. The first is currently in use as a music room and the second as a home office /study. Offering great versatility, these reception rooms could easily be put to use as either a playroom and a fifth bedroom, if desired. From the music room, a door opens through to a fabulous open plan kitchen / diner to the rear. Bright and spacious, this heart of the home features a central island with chic pendant lighting, walnut kitchen units and integrated appliances. An archway leads through to the breakfast / dining area with pretty bay window and pitched ceiling with Velux windows allowing for an abundance of natural light flow, while taking in delightful garden views. There is also a convenient, separate utility room and guest wc. A door from the kitchen opens to the sitting room / lounge, a less formal reception room, where a marble fireplace with wood burning stove creates an inviting and cozy ambience, which in turn leads back into the “long room”, giving a wonderful circular flow to the accommodation. Returning to the main entrance hallway, the staircase leads to a spacious landing area, with room for a desk and seating, to the right of which is the large, triple aspect principal bedroom, which runs the full length of the property, off which is a walk in shower. From this bedroom are beautiful views over the city, Dublin Bay, Howth and on a clear day views as far as the Mourne mountains. To the left of the staircase, a bedroom corridor leads to three further double bedrooms, two of the bedrooms are positioned to the front and one to the rear. A fully tiled, modern bathroom will walk in-shower completes the layout on this floor. It is also worth noting the ample eaves storage and attic storage at this level.

To the front, electric gates open to a long paved driveway with raised lawn and mature trees to the left hand side. Here are original sheds, dating back to the time of the original cottage, which are no longer in use. A block built detached garage offers plenty of storage space. A wide, gated side entrance leads to the rear patio and garden with gravelled area, interspersed with raised railway sleeper planters with herbs and fruit bushes, and marble seating and dining table. This superb area provides the perfect outdoor space for entertaining, al fresco dining and barbeques in the Summer months. A low granite stone surround separates the patio from the lush lawn, which is surrounded by mature hedging and trees, affording great privacy and seclusion. This garden haven boasts an array of shrubbery include fuschia, elderberry, and aubresia. A block built, 3 door shed provides space for garden tools, wood storage and the boiler house is positioned to one side.
