Sherry FitzGerald are delighted to introduce Glen House to the market. Glen House is truly an oasis of tranquility situated along the historic Strawberry Beds in one of the most beautiful and scenic parts of Dublin. It's hard to believe that you are only c.8km from O'Connell Street especially when you step outside into this majestic setting that changes with the seasons.
Glen house is a magnificent, detached family home approx.294 sq.mtrs (3,165 sq.ft) fully renovated in 2013 and occupying a slightly elevated position above the Liffey on beautiful sloping south westerly facing plot bordered by mature gardens, woodland and stream with mature native and exotic trees that extends to approx. 0.81 Ha (2 acres) boasting a stunningly tranquil setting. The Glen House was once part of an old sand quarry once and some of the outbuilding still remain.
The property is approached through a modern gated entrance onto a sweeping gravelled driveway with off street parking for numerous cars and vehicular rear access. The property itself is instantly appealing to the eye and has the look of a country farmhouse. Upon entering its striking red door, you cannot but be impressed by the double height ceilings in the entrance hallway. Off the entrance hall to the left there is a study/office with bespoke carpentry, to the right of the hallway there is a cosy family room that leads to the main living room. The bright and airy living room has a raised pitched ceiling and feature fireplace with solid fuel stove. Double doors lead to the heart of this family home its open plan kitchen/dining/family room that spans the width of the property. The kitchen is fully fitted with a country style kitchen complemented by the range and breakfast island it in turn opens to the family and dining area and there are double doors leading to the rear lawns and gardens. Also off the kitchen is a practical boot room with added storage and a sperate shower room. There is a laundry/utility off the hallway and that complete the accommodation of this level. Upstairs there is bright gallery landing complemented by the roof light and 4 generously proportioned double bedrooms. The main bedroom is en-suite and has a walk-in wardrobe, the second bedroom also contains an en-suite. A large family bathroom completes the internal accommodation.
Without doubt the landscaped gardens and especially the woodland area is a particular feature of The Glen House and wrap around the property perfectly. The woodland area bordered by a stream (Dis) has a labyrinth of paths and provides endless enjoyment and is a child's haven where they can safely play and explore to their hearts content. The Glen is also bordered by a pathway that leads from the Sandpit Cottages on the Porterstown Road which means you can walk or cycle to Castleknock Village in under 20 minutes.
Castleknock College is within walking distance and Mount Sackville Secondary School is 1.2Km.
The location of this unique family home will be of major interest to those trying to escape city life yet still have the convenience of city living within striking distance.
It's located 3.0km from Castleknock Village and the Phoenix Park is 1.2km away. Glen House will suit those looking for a tranquil haven to call their own in this unique and un-spoilt part of Dublin. In addition to several schools close by, there are nearby transport links Dublin Bus on the Carpenterstown Road and in Chapelizod Village as well as Castleknock train station 3.0km. The local road network gives easy access to the Phoenix Park, M50, Liffey Valley, Blanchardstown Shopping Centre the City Centre, and Dublin Airport.

If you ever loved me Molly love me now.
