Description
UNIQUE LAKESIDE RESIDENCE ON c. 1.9 ACRES / 0.77HA.
Split level residence approached by a winding drive with meandering pathways, landscaped gardens and secret hideaways, this home is definitely something to be seen. The property has astounding views over the beautiful Blessington Lakes and the scenery is breathtaking. What started out as a small cottage has been extended over the years and was completely renovated in 2020. It has charm in abundance. It has been cleverly extended and redesigned and the décor is contemporary and modern while still keeping the character of days past. On entering the hallway you get a good sense of what awaits. The kitchen is stepped down with maple shaker units, a double pantry and large range style electric cooker. The ceilings are high and the breakfast bar is cleverly positioned in front of an eye level window, the perfect spot for your morning coffee! Continuing through to the open plan living room, the continuation of the wooden floor gives a lovely flow and the large bay window makes the most of the vista. The raised wood burning stove is the perfect focal point to give that lovely cosy feel when the weather cools down. There are four bedrooms off this space three of which are double and one single all with fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom is en-suite. The family bathroom with oversized shower and utility room complete the accommodation on this level. On the upper level there are two more double bedrooms and shower room and a self contained kitchen/living room above which leads to a raised decking area. This makes the perfect chill out space for growing teenagers, or separate accommodation for a family member or Au Pair. It could also generate a separate income if the purchaser wanted to rent it privately or on AirBnB.
LOCATION:
Situated on c. 1.9 acres / 0.77 HA, of land, just off the Lake Drive Road at Ballinastockan, nestled between Lacken and Ballyknockan villages, the location of this property is fantastic. Blessington is a short 10 minute drive away offering all you could want in convenience and leisure. All the amenities of Blessington are on the doorstep and yet Dublin is a short journey away via the N81. Whether you enjoy sports such as sailing, kayaking, walking, GAA or golf, these are all well catered for locally. With sailing and kayak clubs just a stones throw from the house, horse racing in Punchestown, and hill walking and hiking in the Wicklow mountains, you will never be at a loose end. There are many good golf courses in the area including Tulfarris Golf Club and Blessington Lakes Golf Club. Not to mention Palmerstown House Golf Club and the renowned K-Club in neighbouring Co. Kildare. Blessington is famous for its warm and friendly village atmosphere and its cafés, pubs and eateries are no exception. The nearby Ballymore Inn has been award winning for any years and the larger town of Naas offers further restaurants, bars, hotels and shopping. Lacken offers a small primary school with an excellent reputation, while Blessington has many primary schools including an all Irish Gaelscoile. For secondary education you could opt for Blessington or Naas Schools or you could easily opt for Terenure College, Our Lady`s, in Terenure, Newbridge College or Clongowes Wood for private Schools.
