Description
rdiast standards with a classic exterior. Located on the village end of Westminster Road, one of Foxrock's most desirable addresses, combining excellent proximity to the City whilst offering the tranquillity of a more rural setting.
The substantial property bears many of the hallmarks for which houses on this road are renowned making it the quintessential Foxrock home. Accommodation is well appointed mainly over two floors, designed and built to exacting standards with superlative craftsmanship and attention to detail that surpass expectations, with unique interior and exterior design features giving it individuality while retaining it's classic Edwardian style.
A particularly outstanding feature of the house is the exceptional 185 sqm (2000 sqft) addition to the original home in 2007 which boasts a Geothermal heating system offering 24/7 heating throughout and affording it a valued C1 rating unusual in period properties of this size.
The property has been extended and upgraded over the years to include the addition of a new wing to provide for a spacious integral garage with feature bay mirroring the original double-fronted facade designed by James A. Keaney and Associates.
The architectural design of this era, to include detail from the Arts and Crafts movement, is instantly recognisable to include the red brick bay fronts, sash windows, polished timber flooring and a delightful wisteria-clad timber framed porch which leads to the hall door.
Inside, high quality fixtures and fittings combined with the very latest advanced technology and energy-efficient appliances ensure the smooth running of a luxury household. Hot water fed underfloor heating through many rooms allow for a comfortable ambient temperature for every season of the year.
Security and exclusivity is provided by electric gates. The driveway offers ample parking and there is an integral double garage.
The gardens of this fine home, both front and rear, are a superb feature. They are mature and landscaped, positioned on approximately half an acre incorporating a simple but ordered design with neatly clipped buxus hedging and mature shrubs reflecting the overall pristine nature of this home whilst providing maximum privacy. The front garden is partly in lawn, delineated by sandstone paving and neat cobble stones which keep order to the loose pebbled driveway.
The driveway is especially spacious with ample parking for several cars as well as access to the double garage. To the rear the property enjoys a large sandstone patio area with three steps which gently slope towards the lawn.
The rear garden is well stocked with flowering plants to include hydrangea, agapanthus and there are fruit trees to include plum, apple trees and a water feature with a lily pond.
Exceptionally well located in the leafy suburb of Foxrock approximately 12km from Stephen's Green and only a short stroll from Foxrock Village. This quaint village enjoys a selection of popular eateries, restaurants and specialist food shops which supply this upmarket suburb. For more extensive shopping facilities, Dunnes Stores at Cornelscourt and the Park Retail Centre are close by. Foxrock Golf Club is a short distance away as is the driving range at Leopardstown Golf Club and Carrickmines Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club.
An excellent selection of schools are nearby including Hollypark Boys and Girls National Schools and St Brigid's Boys and Girls National Schools. Many of South County Dublin's Secondary Schools are within an easy commute including Blackrock College, Mount Anville, Loreto Foxrock, Lycee Francais d'Irlande as well as the newly opened Nord Anglia International School and St Andrew's College.
Cabinteely Park with its 96 acres of parkland and large children's playground is also nearby. The Quality Bus Corridor on the N11 provides easy access to Dublin City Centre, the M50 interchange is close by as is the LUAS at both Central Park and Carrickmines.
