Description
Ferndale Lodge is a beautiful architecturally designed family residence set in the most scenic part of County Wicklow, just south of the Dublin area. This spacious 6-bedroom property c. 360 sq. m (3,875 sq. ft.) stands on c. 1.53 acres of mature landscaped gardens with panoramic views of the peaceful countryside. Built only 20 years ago, the property was originally conceived to provide a light-infused & free-flowing environment completed by the highest standards of interior design. The current owners have consistently maintained the house with this original intention at heart.
Entering “Ferndale Lodge” via the wrought iron electric gates on granite stone piers with keypad and intercom, you will be greeted by a soothing exterior integrating symmetrical roof detail providing a first glimpse of the contemporary accommodation on offer. Inside, the entrance hallway welcomes you with its high ceilings and a wooden staircase leading to a spacious landing area on the upstairs.
On the ground floor:
- The formal sitting room is designed with bespoke wall panelling & feature fireplace, offering a luxurious haven to enjoy views of the gardens to the front and sides. From there, the kitchen (with its central island and granite worktops), the family room overlooking the gardens and the dining area with access to a patio showcase what the heart of this beautifully maintained home truly is & where guests can be entertained throughout the year.
- Off the central hallway are four large bedrooms, three with ensuites, and a large family bathroom. The main bedroom suite is especially luxurious with its own walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. There is also a very useful utility room accessed from the kitchen, with half and half door to garden.
Outside, the professionally landscaped gardens and the gravelled driveway sweeping across the front of the property provide a fantastic marriage to complete and compliment both the house interior and the surrounding countryside. Furthermore, the south facing aspect ensures sunlight throughout the day & an idyllic suntrap for bright evenings, patio dining and entertaining.
Ferndale Lodge is conveniently located close to Rathdrum with its host of amenities and sports facilities. Renowned for its great outdoors, with Avondale House close by, and easy access to all the hills and mountains of Wicklow, the area is: 20 minutes' drive from the M11 with easy access to both Dublin or Wexford, 25 minutes' drive from Wicklow and Arklow towns, 30 minutes' drive from renowned Brittas Bay Beach.
