Cabinteely: €1.3m Lambourne Wood, Cabinteely, Dublin 18 is a 15-year-old development which has matured well, due in part to its definition by mature trees and greenery.
The development also benefits from its location off Brennanstown Road. Number 44 Lambourne Wood, a large detached corner house in a cul-de-sac, seems particularly quiet and verdant. It will be auctioned on June 9th with Daphne L Kaye & Associates seeking offers of €1.3 million.
The site has potential to extend and the house has a partially floored attic. With an exterior of pebbledash and redbrick, the 223sq m (2,400sq ft) of space comprises reception rooms, five bedrooms and two bathrooms. A good-sized drawingroom and family room on either side of the hall overlook a leafy front aspect. The drawingroom has a bay window with window seat and a fine fireplace with marble mantelpiece and slate hearth. A rear-facing diningroom is connected to both the drawingroom and kitchen.
The kitchen and utility areas are well fitted and open on to the side and rear garden. The kitchen has a Franke double sink, built-in double oven, ceramic hob and dishwasher.
Upstairs the main bedroom has wardrobes on either side of a mirrored dressing table. Its en suite bathroom is finished to a high standard and includes twin basins set in floor cabinets, a corner bath, shower, toilet and bidet. Three further bedrooms have extensive fitted storage while a fifth bedroom is used as a home office. The family bathroom has a corner bath and shower.
Outside, the wide front drive is cobblelocked and fringed with lawns, trees and shrubs. There is an attractive side garden, while the rear garden with high walls is west-facing and set in lawn with specimen trees.
