Mallard Lodge, Killidreenan, Newtownmountkennedy, Co Wicklow,

Description

An architect-designed detached c. 281sq.m / 3,025sq.ft home of character and distinction featuring a designer-inspired interior and well established sun-trap gardens together with a large detached lofted garage offering further potential, "Mallard Lodge" must be viewed to truly appreciate. Rustic stone piers with metal gates access the gravel avenue, in turn providing plenty of parking with turning space; however, the interior is even better. A gallery reception hall accesses an inner hall with elegant stairwell, while the dual-height sittingroom enjoys a wrap-around "Minstrels Gallery". There are three bathrooms (two of them en-suite): while the custom crafted kitchen / diningroom is filled with light, opening south into the garden via patio doors. Convenient to village amenities, and to the N11 for commuters, this is worth shortlisting.

Newtownmountkennedy is a short drive south of the scenic Glen of the Downs, via the N11; and has been re-energised with the building of a new town centre complex of retail and residential content together with a smart new hotel.

Already a popular visitor destination due to attractions like "Fishers", and its proximity to the Roundwood Lakes, village amenities include schools and leisure pursuits (athletic sporting clubs, horse-riding, golf, etc) as well as neighbourhood shops.

Killadreenan is just to the south of the village on the "old" N11, almost opposite Newtown Business Park; bus services include city bound express, and local / Greystones DART feeder services. For the golfer, world-class Druids Glen is down the road, with Glen Mill even closer; and there is good shore-angling off the nearby east coast.

The layout of this house; its high specification with timber floors throughout, its finish levels and potential lend much appeal; now all that remains is to visit "Mallard Lodge".
