On entering through the gates, there is a very private winding pebbled drive way with mature hedging border well set back from the road. This leads to an attractive front garden on both sides of the drive with established shrubs and small trees including lilac, philadelphus, plum trees and cherry tree. Bordered by mature hedging, there is a large gravel driveway that provides off street parking for 4 or 5 cars. Two side entrances lead to the rear garden which is quite magnificent!

There is a large patio area off the kitchen with a mature Maple tree where the tranquillity and garden birdlife can be enjoyed. It is also ideal for family entertaining and barbequing.
Offering a private and not overlooked aspect over any part of the property, the garden boasts the potential to extend the existing accommodation outward or add a second story upwards if required.

Our garden is home to a great variety of birds on our feeders and around us. We have green finches, goldfinches, various tits, jays, woodpeckers etc. Buzzards are commonly seen cruising overhead, pheasants call from the nearby fields and the occasional Peregrine Falcon can be seen and heard.
Enniskerry Village is a vibrant community. There is a tennis club, soccer club, De La Salle Palmerston rugby club nearby, and community games are held in the bog meadow each summer. There are also art workshops, a Carnegie Library, and the village is well equipped with Doctors Surgery, Pharmacy, coffee shops, grocery stores etc.
We have loved living here in the private, peaceful surrounds, but with our children grown up and living elsewhere, we now need a smaller place to live although we will be very sorry to leave. Accommodation
