Dublin, DU

As you pass through the gates upon your arrival, you begin to comprehend the scale and grandeur of Coolarne, an incredibly handsome bay windowed residence on one of south County Dublin' most prestigious roads. Wonderful caretakers, the current owners have meticulously maintained the property's wealth of unique and original features which adorn the abundance of graciously appointed accommodation.Tall ceilings are heavily accented with decorative frieze, intricate ceiling coving and centre roses, while large sliding sash windows with working window shutters drench the accommodation with natural light. Honey hued stained glass features prominently throughout the property and is one of its most beautiful and stand out features.

As you alight the granite steps to the sheltered entrance porch, there is a real sense of arrival. The entrance portico leads into the hallway which features an exquisite stained-glass window and stained glass double doors through to a reception lobby which connects to the orangery. Extending to over 500 sq. ft., the warm coloured wood floor gleams in the natural light that pours through the glass panelled vaulted light well and connects through to a conservatory. The drawing room, with large bay window, is an impressive size and connects through to the study. The kitchen/dining, with original wood floors, has double doors that lead to the garden and also connects to a utility room. A cloakroom with guest w.c. completes the accommodation at this level. The accommodation continues downstairs on the ground floor with two large reception rooms that could have myriad uses, a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, shower room and a small kitchenette. With its own separate access, this level could easily be used, in part or in its entirety, as a separate residence for an additional family member or as an au pair suite. Up on the first floor the principal suite with en-suite bathroom spans the entire width of the house and there are three further double bedrooms and a bathroom at this level. At the top of the house there are two further bedrooms, both with sea views, and a bathroom with a sauna.

To the front of the house there is a garage, and a canopied area extends from it. The gravelled driveway is accessed via electric security gates and is bordered by mature hedging and small lawned area and raised beds stocked with flowering plants and shrubs with feature uplighting. The rear garden has a perfect south- west facing orientation. Laid mainly in lawn, it also has a paved dining area, raised deck also accessed from the kitchen and a large pond. It is bordered by beds stocked with mature trees and plants. It also has direct access to Glenageary Tennis Club. There are two sheltered storage areas and a log store.

A tranquil escape just 8.5 miles south of Dublin City Centre, the location enjoys the best of both worlds, with peaceful surrounds and swift access on foot via The Lord's Walk to the bustling coastal village of Glasthule, boasting a selection of award winning restaurants, luxury day spas, specialist delicatessens and popular boutiques. The seafront provides scenic coastal walks and easy access to a wide variety of marine leisure facilities including four yacht clubs. Glenageary Tennis Club is located to the rear of the property and there are also other popular sports clubs nearby. Glenageary Dart Station is just around the corner on Station Road allowing for a swift commute to the city centre and there are many notable schools close by and the dart line allows for easy access to St Andrews and Blackrock College.
