Description
Constructed circa 1988, Dair Ghallda is an elegant detached dormer residence of immense style and character, set amid approximately 1.75 acres (0.70 H/A ) of mature, private gardens in a highly sought-after location on Balcultry Road, Rolestown. Just a short drive from Roganstown Country Club, the property is also within easy reach of Swords Village, Dublin Airport, the M1 and M50 motorways, and an excellent range of amenities.
Approached by a winding gravel driveway, flanked by sweeping lawns and mature hedgerow, the residence makes a striking first impression with its distinguished brick exterior, high-pitched dormer roof, and distinctive triangular windows. Dair Ghallda is a truly unique family home that blends classic country charm with modern comfort and timeless appeal.
On entering, a welcoming reception hall immediately sets the tone with its feature brick wall enclosing a solid-fuel fire, and a double-height ceiling crowned by a gallery-style landing. The living room, positioned to the front of the house, enjoys a dual aspect with a large bay window and a fine hardwood fireplace. From here, double doors open into the dining room, which also benefits from dual aspect windows, including a feature bay window overlooking the colourful side gardens and sun patio. The breakfast area, warmed by a wood-burning stove and finished with tiled flooring, flows seamlessly into the modern fitted kitchen. This superbly designed space offers extensive press units, quality appliances, and a cleverly planned central island, with an adjoining utility room and a separate boot room providing further convenience.
The inner hall leads to the ground floor bedroom accommodation, comprising three generously sized bedrooms, one of which is currently in use as a study. The principal bedroom is a particular highlight, complete with a dressing room and ensuite bathroom, while a large family bathroom completes the downstairs accommodation.
A gracious staircase rises to the upper floor, where the gallery-style landing is enhanced by Velux roof lights, creating a bright and inviting space. Here, three further bedrooms are found, all enjoying views of the surrounding gardens, together with a second family bathroom.
The gardens are a true centrepiece of this property and greatly enhance its character and lifestyle appeal. Expansive lawns sweep around the residence, while paved pathways lead towards the rear garden. A sun-drenched patio, perfectly positioned and bordered by mature shrubbery, offers a delightful setting for outdoor relaxation. The grounds also feature a charming orchard with apple trees, productive vegetable plots, and a large polytunnel, creating an ideal environment for those who enjoy gardening and home-grown produce. To the side of the property lies a detached double garage and a useful tool shed, ensuring excellent storage and versatility.
Dair Ghallda is a home of exceptional presence and charm, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy refined country living within easy reach of the city.
Viewing is essential to fully appreciate all that this remarkable property has to offer.

The survey conducted by Retail Excellence Ireland took into account safety, retail, dining, entertainment, events, car parking and overall attractiveness of the town. Since the mid-1990s Swords has seen improvements in shop fronts, public buildings and footpaths and the restoration of Swords Castle. Following a huge improvement to litter in the town, in the 2011 survey, Swords was declared the second cleanest town in Ireland.
