Knockbawn
Portland Road
The Burnaby
Greystones
Co. Wicklow
A63 TK74
Description
Knockbawn occupies a pivotal setting at the corner of Portland Road and Somerby Road in the heart of the leafy Burnaby Estate, one of the finest and most sought-after residential locations in the greater Dublin area. The delightful gardens which envelop the home on all side’s provide an oasis of seclusion and serenity. Yet standing here it is hard to believe Burnaby Park, South Beach, the DART and all the amenities of Greystones Town Centre are just a stroll away. The Burnaby needs little introduction being the first planned housing estate in Ireland, established by Elizabeth Hawkins Whitshed who named it after her late husband Colonel Frederick Burnaby who was killed in action at the Battle of Abu Klea in 1885.
Internally this home is flooded with natural light and there is a perfect balance between the formal reception and everyday family rooms most of which enjoy dual aspect views over the gardens. The enclosed courtyard just off the dining room provides many possibilities. The spacious dual level landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms, the principal bedroom having its own dressing room (formerly Bedroom 5) and en suite. The family bathroom completes the upstairs accommodation.
Designers of larger homes built in the Edwardian era somehow got it perfectly right in terms of proportion, lighting and craftmanship – something the English style garden movement homes are renowned for and Knockbawn is no exception.
A special feature of this lovely home is its expansive gardens extending to about half an acre / 0.2Ha, which are so private, enclosed by mature hedging and trees. The property is approached by a gravel driveway providing parking for several cars and also has the added benefit of separate vehicular and pedestrian gates leading to the back garden and guest apartment from Somerby Road. The gardens surround the house on all sides. Mainly in lawn they incorporate mature boundary hedges, trees, shrubbery, flowering beds and granite rockeries. The east side lawn was formerly a grass tennis court.
Greystones town has thrived in recent years and really is the perfect place to live, in fact having won the accolade of ‘Global Most Liveable Community Award’ in 2008 and again in 2021! It is a special place for families with its unrivalled local amenities which include beaches, harbour / marina, and such local sports clubs as the rugby, tennis, GAA, soccer, golf, hockey and bowling clubs. There is an enviable array of eateries, boutique shops, supermarkets, cafes, cosy pubs, library, two golf courses and much more. The local primary and secondary schools are highly regarded. For those who must travel the N11/M11/M50 corridor, DART, TFI bus routes and Aircoach bring the country, capital, airport, centres of business and education within easy reach.
