Description
Flynn Estate Agents are delighted to bring `Glenshee House` to the open market for sale. The property is situated in the townland of Brownstown, a few minutes north of Swords in the rolling fields of North County Dublin. The property is a significant detached home on over an acre of land with 337.3 sq.m of living space that boasts a remarkable list of features including a B2 energy rating, double garage and spectacular master bedroom suite. Originally built in the 1970`s but significantly upgraded and extended in 2007 this property is not to be missed.
The property sits in tranquil farmland just north of Swords and is protected by mature planting generating a location that is both private and peaceful, whilst offering spectacular views over wide open green space. From the road, the electronic gates lead into a gravelled driveway with a turning circle that gives access to the double garage and parking. Up stone-flagged steps and in through the front door, the initial impression is one of space and light and this is a constant theme throughout. The entrance hallway provides a warm welcome with light that floods through skylights and tiled floors that bounce the light around adding to a stunning first impression. The main hallway provides access to the living spaces mostly to the Western end of the property and the bedrooms to the East. Semi solid wood floors cover the hallway and a majority of the internal space.
The living space is divided into a generous family room of approx. 81 sq.m, 2/3 further reception rooms, a utility room and 2 guest WC`s. The family room is to the rear of the property and incorporates kitchen, living and dining spaces with a travertine marble tiled floor and French doors to two aspects that lead out to a paved terrace wrapping around this side of the building. The `Scavolini` kitchen is of a beautiful modern design with mid-century touches to soften the edges and add warmth. It comprises a range of matching units with walnut and cream gloss fronts and granite counter tops. There is a large island unit with seating along one edge and a wealth of integrated appliances including 2 x fridge/freezers, a dishwasher, oven, microwave and hob. This open plan living space is a rare jewel that is of incredible value to families looking for space to be together or to entertainers looking for room to host. Further living space comprises a large dining room and a snug sitting room with a wood burning stove, ideal for cosy evenings and winters. There is a good sized reception room equally suited to an office, music room, 6th bedroom and much more. The utility/boot room off the kitchen has tiled floors, lots of storage space, plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, door through to a guest WC and a further door into the double garage.
Heading to the eastern end of the property, the master bedroom suite comprises the whole of the first floor and offers a private oasis away from the rest of the house. The bedroom is a large double that has glazing to two aspects and French Doors that lead out to a wraparound balcony giving elevated views over the surrounding fields.

The double garage is attached to the western edge of the property and is accessible internally and by two `up and over` garage doors to the front. There is a concrete floor and high ceilings offering a flexible space with a variety of uses.
The property has a B2 BER rating and this comes from a number of integrated technologies. There is an Ochsner O-Tronic ground to water heat pump providing under floor heating throughout the property.

On the roof are solar panels providing hot water for the property and there is a supplementary Flo Gas tank in the garden to provide gas for the kitchen hob and a wall mounted fire in the living space.
