As a dormer bungalow there are three spacious downstairs bedrooms, with one en-suite. Upstairs the roof has been raised to give a pitched roof with an impressive 2.9m ceiling height with an abundance of natural light flooding the house. The master bedroom suite is an exceptionally spacious room with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. To the front of the property is a second large bedroom with a gable window. Adjacent to this is the beautifully finished family bathroom. In the middle is a large upstairs playroom and two store rooms.

This property is ideal for the modern family with a high-speed fibre-optic broadband connection, Sky TV service, and a range of appliances including a Rangemaster range, an American style fridge-freezer, wine cooler and, in the utility room, a high capacity washing machine and separate dryer.

The finish in this property is outstanding with manufactured flagstones in the entrance hall, kitchen and utility room. There is solid walnut flooring in the other ground-floor rooms. Upstairs the white wool carpet overlays pine floorboards. The high quality double-glazed windows and doors feature a cream interior and black exterior finish. In addition there are nice touches like Franke sinks, attractive light fittings, high gloss wardrobes, solid wood internal doors, external sandstone trim, tiled roof and low maintenance fascia and guttering.

Outside there are spacious gardens front and rear. The front garden provides parking for 8+ cars accessed via gates mounted on granite gateposts. The front door is on the easterly side of the house. On the opposite side is a westerly facing patio designed to benefit from the expansive views of the pastures, forests and gardens across the valley on “The Lamb”. The 50m long back garden is set in grass providing a large play area.

All this is conveniently located at the end of a laneway in the residential community of Goldenhill close to the scenic village of Manor Kilbride, 10 minutes’ drive on the Dublin side of Blessington and just 20 minutes from the M50.
