Description
GARDEN
Set on circa 6 acres/2.42 hectares of lush rolling fields. The gated gravel drive to the front of the property allows for generous off-street parking as well as a garage. Accessed from the dining room there is a wonderful south facing cottage garden with gravelled pathways, surrounded by hedging and well stocked with herbaceous borders such as pheasant tail grass and angle fishing rod grass. There are many perfumed blooms such as lilac, lily of the valley, roses, clematis, and a large magnolia tree as well as a wildflower bed. There is a large fig tree that bears lots of fruit as well as rhubarb. All this with wonderful sunshine from early morning to late evening.
Coming through either a vehicular gate at the front of the property or through a small gate from the garden one enters the two large fields to the rear of the house. The first field runs down to the river below the property and has a natural forming pond on the lower end of the field. At the top of the hill is a donkey stable and is surrounded by mixed hedging that mark the boundary. There is a water well located on this part of the land but si not in use. Through the next gate is the top field. This large field allows for 5 stables, a feed room, hen house, tractor shed, hay shed and shaving shed. There is a 16 x 35 foot turning out paddock and lots of grass area – currently occupied by friendly neighbouring cattle!
LOCATION
The property enjoys seclusion whilst still being within convenient access to the M50 at Carrickmines and N.11 for easy commuting with St. Stephens Green only 8 miles away. It is adjacent to all amenities, churches and renowned schools and yet oozes countryside appeal and privacy. This is a wonderful location in which to live and rear a family with local horse riding, stunning walks and only a short distance to pubs, restaurants and shopping in Kilternan, Enniskerry, The Park retail shopping Carrickmines, Stepaside village and Dundrum Town Centre. The Luas in Bridesglen is within easy reach and exceptional schools nearby include St. Anne’s and Rathmichael primary schools, St Gerard's Bray, Loreto Foxrock, and Wesley College Dundrum. Stepaside driving range is close by with renowned courses at Powerscourt & on the Ballyman road Enniskerry within striking distance. Rarely does a house as special as this come to the market. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this outstanding home.
