Room Details
Hunters Estate Agent is truly delighted to introduce Festina Lente to the market. This is an excellent, four / five bedroomed detached family home extending to circa 242 sq.m. / 2,615 sq.ft. It is approached by an attractive, treelined driveway and is beautifully nestled on a site of circa 0.9 acre. With more than ample living accommodation for a large family, the very generous first floor space also presents further potential to develop as office or gym, as does the adjoining garage at ground floor level.
Festina Lente is located in an idyllic countryside setting, with views of the surrounding hills and mountains including The Great Sugarloaf. With a backdrop of tranquil grazing meadows, the property is very private and yet is within easy reach of many amenities and facilities in the neighbouring villages of Kilmacanogue and Enniskerry.
Briefly the accommodation comprises of a porch leading into the entrance hallway from which many of the other rooms are accessed including a guest WC. To the left lies the bright, triple aspect, living / dining room with a feature granite fronted fireplace and a sunroom adjoining via a sliding door. The kitchen / breakfast room is located off the dining room with access to the utility and rear porch. There are four fine bedrooms, two of which are ensuite and the family bathroom. A spiral stairs leads to the first floor which is currently in use as a playroom and den / bedroom 5 and provides excellent under eaves storage areas throughout.
Outside the private gardens are mostly laid out in lawn with mature trees, habaceous shrubs and flowering plants. There are patio areas surrounding the property to capture the sunshine throughout the day, perfect for relaxing and al fresco entertainment. A tarmac driveway bordered by lawn on each side leads the parking area at the front of the house along with access to the integral garage. The rear garden boasts another good sized lawn area with fruit trees and roses. Hedges run along the boundaries of the property adding privacy.
The location of Festina Lente is second to none with a rural setting and yet both Kilmacanogue and Enniskerry villages are just a short drive away. These offer an array of artisan shops, local eateries, bars and boutiques, There are several excellent primary and secondary schools within close proximity including Kilmacanogue National School, Powerscourt National School, St. Mary's and St. Gerard's National School and Curtlestown National School. St. Gerard's and Holy Child Killiney are also easily accessible. The area offers a wide variety of sports and recreational facilities with Powerscourt Golf Club, soccer and GAA clubs available locally. The area is frequented by hill walkers, horse riders and mountain bikers.
Transport links include the DART Station at Bray (with a feeder bus from Enniskerry), regular Dublin Bus services 145 and 45A from Kilmacanogue while the N11 is within 2 minutes’ drive leading you to the M50 which offers city, airport and countrywide access.
