Description

Quintessentially Scandinavian in both design and functionality, number 10 Glenrichmond is a truly unique home of approx. 264 sq.m (2,834 sq.ft.) set on a most private and beautifully landscaped site of approx. 0.5 acres in this exclusive development of detached only homes in Glanmire. It is evident from the moment you arrive that this is far from a standard four bedroom detached house. The striking exterior, constructed in northern Swedish timber, immediately piques interest and sets the tone for the rest of the property. The house itself, built just over 20 years ago, was sourced from high quality house manufacturer Sjodalshus / Gotenehus, Sweden and assembled by their Swedish construction team at site in Cork. The foundation with 300mm of insulation and underfloor heating was prepared in advance. Once the external structure of the house was completed with the help of local plumbing and electrical firms, work began on the interior of the house. All internal fittings such as flooring, kitchen and bathroom etc. were supplied from the highest quality Swedish manufacturers. Regarding heating, ventilation and insulation, this is an area in which this property excels and shows that it was many years ahead of its time. The house boasts Swedish triple glazed wooden, argon filled windows & external doors, two heat pumps (underfloor heating on both levels, office & garage), PV panels to provide electricity, a mechanical ventilation system and an exceptionally high level of insulation in the walls, attic and flooring. This superb level of energy efficiency was achieved without ever compromising style or comfort. There is a wonderful homely feeling when you open the front door and are greeted by an open, welcoming space that flows all the way through to the rear of the house and shows off the clever layout and generous room proportions on offer. Accommodation on the ground floor consists of an entrance hall / foyer which leads to three interconnecting reception rooms, the living room, family room and dining room. In addition, you will find the kitchen, utility room, shower room and one bedroom on this level. Moving upstairs, there is a beautiful, open reception area / family room that is flooded with natural light, a typical element of Swedish homes and is a wonderful feature. There are also three double bedrooms (en-suite in main bedroom) and a family bathroom. In addition, there are two spacious walk in wardrobes, one off the main bedroom and one off the upstairs family room. A strong emphasis was placed on quality of materials used throughout the property both inside and out. The flooring at ground level is solid wide plank oak, with the exception of the kitchen that features Italian floor tiles and the entrance with Italian marble tiling. A solid ash staircase leads to the first floor that is laid in solid wide plank birch from Sweden. The uniformity of flooring throughout creates a lovely flow to the house and an almost seamless transition between rooms. The attention to detail is equally evident externally. The property is secured by CCTV and accessed through electronic gates leading to a large driveway offering ample parking for multiple cars. A large lawned area with a selection of mature plants and trees is on either side as you make your way towards the house. To the rear, there is a tiered garden. The lower section is paved in Indian sandstone and provides a perfect area for outdoor dining, taking full advantage of the southerly aspect. The higher level is laid in lawn and is lined with mature trees, enhancing the feeling of privacy. The tiers are separated by a stone wall and planting area featuring a lovely selection of plants and shrubs. Both front and rear lawns are looked after by a robotic lawnmower from Husqvarna, Sweden which is included in the sale of the property. The garden features two buildings, the first of which is separated in three; a garage, an office and a storage area with an attic above. This building has electricity and underfloor heating. The second building on the higher tier is a garden studio. Both of these buildings offer superb potential as home offices, gyms and much more. This property has been a labour of love for its current owners, and it truly is a credit to them. They have struck the perfect balance of style, practicality and comfort, whilst making it all look effortless with the final result being an exceptional home in every sense that can facilitate everything and anything a modern family desires.
