Multi Award Winning Team Patrick Leonard and Fine & Country are truly delighted to present Estuary House to the Malahide Property Market. Estuary house is a most captivating home in an idyllic waterside setting only minutes from Malahide Village. Historically, Malahide was a busy trading port (Malahide bay) from at least the fourteenth century. Its main business was fishing with grain, meal and flour being exported and coal being imported (around 20,000 tons annually). The construction of the railway bridge meant that large vessels could no longer access the inner Broadmeadow estuary. This brought to an end the unloading of coal at the small harbour of Newport near Lissenhall, which had its own harbour master. The sea walls to the right and left were built from rubble limestone around 1740. It was probably constructed as part of the Seafield demesne – Seafield House, built around the 1740s, sits just above the harbour. There is no certainty about the origin of the name Malahide which has been variously spelt in the past as Mallahide, Malahyde and Mallahyde. The most commonly quoted Irish names are “Mullach Íde”which translates as the Hill or Sandhill of Íde, an old Irish saint or “Mullac h-Ide” the hill or sandhill of the Hydes who were a Norman family that settled in the Donabate area on the other side of Malahide Estuary. Down through the centuries Malahide remained a small village centred on Old Street, Strand Street and the Back Strand, dependant on agricultural work around the Manor or Castle of Malahide and the Talbots family and on fishing and some trade, principally with Chester and Bristol. The Civil Survey of 1654-56 stated: In ye town of Mallahide about 20 thatch houses, one sea water mill. Also a stone thatch house with two small thatch houses in possession of Thomas Jones. Also an orchard and garden with a fishing harbour and a conny warren. Malahide Estuary SAC is is part of the Natura 2000 database. Malahide Estuary is that of the River Broadmeadow. A long sand spit, known as 'the island', cuts off most of the estuary from the sea. At low tide this area is completely drained, exposing the mudflats. Eelgrass, green algae and Tassel Weed are common plants along the estuary. Estuary House is sure to impress families, builders, international buyers, property developers and parties trading up alike. The extra spacious extended floor plan consists of: Entrance lobby, hallway, study, formal living room, formal dining room, kitchen / dining room, utility room, 2 bedrooms to include guest bedroom en suite and shower room. Upstairs consists of a landing, 4 large bedrooms to include primary with walk in wardrobe (all bedrooms have a private en suite bathroom) and bonus room / office. The house is accessed by a large driveway with an abundance of parking to the rear. To the front there is a lawned garden together with a side entrance on either side of the dwelling. To the rear is a commanding lawned garden with an abundance of mature planting and pond. There is a large timber cabin to the rear which has a number of potential uses in addition to a large self contained studio consisting of: Hall, 2 large rooms, shower room and kitchen area.
