Description

Teach na Greine is an architect designed house on an elevated site of over 1/3 acre, just 6 minutes walk from the heart of Enniskerry Village, which boasts a very large sun terrace and expansive views of the Dublin and Wicklow Mountains. The large main living room has a lofted ceiling 4m high and windows on three sides. A feature hearth divides this space from the interconnecting dining area and kitchen. The modern high gloss fitted kitchen with a breakfast island, comes fully equipped with an eye level double-oven and microwave, larder unit, bin drawer and a sink with views out the corner window, all the way to the sea in the distance.

Teach na Greine is not overlooked as it sits at the very top of a private laneway, perched above the nearby houses. The entrance is on Church Hill, just 100m from the "Enchanted" clock tower in the heart of the village, up hill from The Enniskerry Inn.

Accommodation consists of spacious interconnecting reception rooms with gorgeous views, a separate lounge with French doors opening to the sun terrace, a large bright entrance hall, and a bedroom level with four double bedrooms - each with ensuite access. Included in the floor area are two zones with slightly restricted ceiling heights, which are not classified as habitable spaces, but which are eminently usable. These consist of an attic room and a basement media room with adjacent utility room, comms room and storage rooms.

It is set on 0.34 acres of grounds which include the footprint of the house, large sun terrace, paved side passage on the southside of the house and unpaved parking for 4+ cars. The rest of the grounds are in grass and vegetation which has not been landscaped. It makes a very interesting children`s play area. The boundaries are mainly in hedge and/or fence.

This house is connected to mains electricity, mains waste water and mains water. It has a highly efficient Grant Vortex boiler for the oil fired central heating. It also has PV solar panels.

Enniskerry is a pretty village with a relaxed vibe. It hosts a range of various craft shops, coffee shops, restaurants, an art school, pubs, a pretty village square and a Carnegie Library. Nearby are a wide range of rambles such as Lover`s Leap Lane, Knocksink Woods and Powerscourt Gardens.

Local sports facilities include Powerscourt Golf Club, Enniskerry FC, and horse riding and hillwalking in The Wicklow Mountains. It is just a short drive from the beaches and marina in Greystones.

IEnniskerry is served by buses 44 to Dundrum, Dublin City Centre and DCU, and L15 to Bray DART station.

Early viewing is highly recommended. Viewings striuctly BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
