Description

The Property A tastefully modernised and extended period house c1870 in a delightful, elevated garden setting with views to the sea. Situated a short stroll form the charming village of Enniskerry the house is approached via a winding avenue through extensive lawns (formerly paddocks) to an extensive four court. Bought by the current vendors in 2004, they then undertook a total restoration over the next two years, including extending the house, improving the external flow and enhancing access to the delightful grounds. Outbuildings Adjoining the house is a totally enclosed cobbled courtyard with a range of buildings including four stables, boiler house, tack room/feed house, separate wc with shower. Also opening into the courtyard is the spacious games room, rising to two levels with polished timber flooring off which is a separate smaller gym/home office which in turn leads to the sunroom, specifically built to take full advantage of its south and west orientation, with two French doors opens to the walled garden. Also at this level there is a changing area and shower room. Grounds and Gardens Privacy is guaranteed by a variety of mature timber and shrubberies at the road boundary and there are extensive lawns on both sides of the avenue, which were formally used as paddocks. For those interested in keeping a few ponies or stock these would readily convert back. The orientation of the house is such as to take full advantage of the southerly and western orientation and perhaps the most striking feature is the west-facing part-walled garden with its sunroom, sun terrace and tennis court, Location Enniskerry is well served with amenities including two national schools and a variety of small shops and cafes. The world renowned Powerscourt House and Gardens and the two Powerscourt championship golf courses are even closer to Mervyn than the village. Services Oil-fired central heating, recently installed septic tanks, mains water and electricity, security alarm.
