Description
Forge Field is an impressive and unique 4-bedroom detached property enjoying an idyllic position tucked away behind private gates. Designed in the style of American mid century modern architecture but recently retrofitted with all today’s conveniences.
Built almost 40 years ago on 1 acres, the site was the original location of the forge belonging to the estate and lands of Woodtown Park, c.1830 the former home of the Kings Printer & then the chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer. The house has now been owned and lived in by the same family since 1939; making for excellent neighbouring residents.
This unique home is set on beautiful grounds, with its split-level design enabling the raised reception room to enjoy panoramic views of the landscaped gardens and Dublin City and surrounding areas.
The current owners have overseen an extensive renovation of the property from the ground up. With a primary focus on thermal retrofitting, pluming and future proofing of the property. It is clear that a lot of care and attention has been taken, and this is evident with the added introduction of new materials throughout. The tasteful re-modeling has been carried out with great flair and imagination to maximise both space and light to create a superb home.
The contemporary design takes you up steps to the wide entrance hall which gives rise to the reception room wing and the bedroom wing which are on opposite ends of the house. Just off the entrance hall is a guest w.c., as is the mezzanine home office / sitting room that leads to the well-appointed utility room. To the right of the of the hall steps lead up to the spacious and bright open-plan kitchen / dining room and lounge, with cleverly positioned glazing taking full advantage of the natural light and beautiful views. At the other end of the house, steps lead down from the hall into the bedroom wing. This part of the house has four generous bedrooms (principal bedroom ensuite), a family bathroom and a hot-press.
Forge Field was not only created as a dream home but also with dream gardens in mind. Laid mainly in lawn and surrounded by mature trees, there are several different zones to the gardens to include: a woodland area, a wonderful hand-built children’s playground and a large patio that is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. The garden is awash with mature shrubbery and hedging designed to give colour all year round and there is a beautiful sylvan setting to the grounds. There is also the provision of a versatile basement room that is accessed externally via double doors (this basement also has potential to be accessed from the house via an internal staircase). This part of the property suits a multitude of uses such as: a home gym, a playroom, home office / studio or a garage area. There is also a handy outside w.c., ideal for garden parties, as well as access to the boiler-room. The provision of two storage units (16ft x 8ft) completes the external accommodation providing even further storage for gardening equipment, ride-on lawnmowers, bikes or workshop etc.
Located on Stocking Lane; a much sought after area in Upper Rathfarnham with many large residences on private secure and beautiful sites and with close proximity to Rathfarnham Golf Club, once you enter through the gates of this wonderful home, you suddenly feel a fantastic sense of country living, of tranquility and of privacy & seclusion, yet only 30 minutes from the city center and Dublin Airport via the M50, this semi-rural property offers convenience to many of Dublin’s best schools and within easy reach of a variety of recreational and retail amenities.
