The sounds of the Owendoher stream running along the fenced boundary of this property further enhances the garden experience.

It is a home that truly enjoys the best of both worlds - the seclusion and tranquillity of the countryside with close proximity to Dublin City.

Entering through a stone pillared gate the sheer scale and size of the property across its 3 levels commences its reveal on approach to the distinctive and attractive exterior of the house.

The house has been cleverly designed to maximize the exposure of natural light permeating the interior with an abundance of windows and French doors. Running the length of the house a generous terrace provides uninterrupted views from dawn to dusk across the grounds and allows for a delightful and practical outdoor living area, accessed from the main reception rooms, the kitchen and gardens.

The versatile nature of the accommodation is a particularly impressive feature of this property.
