Fun and games in house which lives up to all your expectations
THERE are few things more disappointing when looking for a house than when you get the big build-up and then you are let down. Today’s property though is everything it says and from the moment you approach the electric gates and progress along the long avenue to the front door to when you leave you will be impressed.
The house is situated on the grounds of the former Plasnewyd Estate, which up until January 1887 was owned by the Talbots of Malahide Castle. It was significantly extended in the 1960s with an imposing Aframe frontage.
The accommodation extends to approx. 4,046 sqft over the ground and first floors while there is also a useful attic room, which could be converted to a fifth bedroom.
Those who like their indoor games and entertainment will be drawn to the snooker room and cinema room which in turn leads in to a beautiful drawing room.
There is a bright and spacious eat-in kitchen. There is a large dining table in the orangery part of the kitchen which opens directly on to a sunny back patio with a pond and gazebo.
Leading off the kitchen is the dining room opening around into a home office with French doors onto the garden. There is also a useful utility room.
There is a master bedroom with fabulous views and a terrace looking out towards the sea and Howth. This room also has an ensuite bathroom and a dressing room.
The guest bedroom suite has a seating area and shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and Juliette balcony, the other with access to a terrace overlooking the gardens and use of an adjacent shower room.
