Monastery Lodge is an exceptional, 5 bedroom detached family home enjoying an enviable location by south Dublin's gateway to the scenic "Garden County", just south of the Scalp on the approach to picturesque Enniskerry village whose welcoming community appreciates Powerscourt Estate, world-renowned gardens and waterfall as a treasured local amenity.

Nestled in a delightful setting on a site of c.1 acre of manicured gardens and extending to a most impressive c.361 sq.m. / 3,885 sq.ft., Monastery Lodge is exclusively approached via a private shared avenue. The property's twin entrances reveal the sweeping driveway skirting a landscaped lawn, framing an inviting south-facing veranda beside the hall door. This gracefully opens into a light-filled reception hall whose Junckers maple floor sets the scene for the quality design flair evidenced by a combination of hardwood doors, polished mahogany and tiled floor finishes in the principal rooms, most of which continue the benefit of maximising natural light through their dual-aspect orientation while taking in views of the landscaped gardens laid by award-winning designer Paul Martin. Inside, one is struck by the well-proportioned rooms and versatile layout incorporating ample space for remote working and hobby interests.

Stepping down from the hall into a formal drawing room with picture windows benefitting from a south/south-west aspect, a period style open fireplace lends seasonal warming comfort; while the adjacent dining room with its westerly orientation intercommunicates with a triple-aspect family living room opening directly to a wrap-around paved sun-trap terrace. Also intercommunicating with the living room is the heart of the home—-a contemporary kitchen featuring designer cabinetry by NcNallys, polished granite work surfaces, sink and drainer, ample power points, and integrated Gaggenau appliances.

Further east along the hallway, one finds a comms room, a guest WC and, past the stairwell to a gallery first-floor landing, there is a fine guest bedroom complete with contemporary ensuite wet-room shower bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. A door at the end of the hall leads to a home office/study with library shelving, which in turn opens through into a wellness suite/hobby studio with library shelving and a steam-room.

On the first floor, off a southerly gallery with generous eaves storage cupboards, there is a family bathroom and four bedrooms, two of which are ensuite, the principal suite impressively having its own private balcony and a walk-in wardrobe.

The beautifully landscaped gardens are a glory of colour and protected by mature boundary planting lending shelter and privacy; an integrated double garage is complemented by a detached double carport and a large metal storage shed with power and light. A gardener’s delight, the grounds host a wonderful variety of specimen trees, shrubs and flowering plants along with granite patio areas thoughtfully located to catch sunshine throughout the day.

Enniskerry is a delightful place in which to live; in addition to Powerscourt nearby, nature lovers will appreciate Monastery Lodge's proximity to Knocksink forest walks by Glencullen riverside with hill-walking trails around the Glencree valley, Ballybrew and Glencullen. The village with its historic clock tower offers artisan food and crafts, friendly deli/coffee shops, welcoming Inn, art studios, two primary schools and a regular bus connection to Bray Dart station. In addition to athletic sporting clubs and the Bog Meadow community pitches, golfers are well catered for at championship courses in Powerscourt, Dun Laoghaire club's course on Ballyman Road, Woodbrook, and Druids Glen. There are active sailing and tennis clubs in nearby Bray and Greystones, while retail therapy is always on hand in Dundrum Town Centre.

We thoroughly recommend viewing this family residence of distinction, located in a delightful setting.

Enniskerry is an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding countryside as well as the magnificent Powerscourt grounds.  It features superb cafes and shops as well as a host of picture-postcard cottages and a charming village triangle. The clock tower in the centre of the village is also a very attractive feature. The Catholic Church circa 1843 by Patrick Byrne is one of the first gothic revival churches in Ireland. Lying in a beautiful glen of the Cookstown or Glencullen River, the wooded country around Enniskerry offers fine forest walks.
