PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Ashwood House is an exceptional contemporary residence set on approximately 2 acres of meticulously manicured gardens in a stunning countryside setting. Designed with inverted living, the property maximises the panoramic views of the Wicklow Mountains from its first-floor reception rooms while offering a practical and private bedroom layout on the ground floor. The property extends to approx. 336 sq.m (3,617 sq.ft.)
Approached via a long, sweeping hornbeam hedge-lined avenue, the house immediately impresses with its striking façade and grand entrance hall. A double-height vaulted ceiling and three arched windows flood the space with natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
The staircase leads up to the first floor, where the main living spaces are thoughtfully arranged. The formal dining room, featuring a fireplace and freestanding stove, serves as the heart of the home, seamlessly flowing into the well-equipped kitchen. Designed for both function and style, the kitchen includes a breakfast area, fitted sink, gas hob, eye-level electric ovens, timber cabinetry, stone countertops, and a central island. Large windows frame picturesque views of the gardens and Wicklow mountains beyond.
On the opposite side of the dining room, the elegant drawing room offers a refined yet comfortable setting with another fireplace and double glass doors opening onto a spacious terrace that wraps around the house, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Adjacent to this space is a cosy sitting room with high ceilings, a freestanding stove, and freestanding bookcases. A set of double arched doors leads to the back hall, which provides a practical boot room area, as well as access to a utility room, pantry, and W.C. The entrance door at this level provides access to a generous parking area, and EV charging point.
The ground floor is home to the bedroom accommodation, ensuring privacy and tranquillity. The primary bedroom features a luxurious ensuite bathroom with high-end fittings, a large bath, and a walk-in shower, as well as a generous walk-in wardrobe with fitted shelving. There are three additional bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office, along with a newly fitted main bathroom that includes both a shower and a bath. A private study is located just off the entrance foyer, providing a quiet workspace. A large utility room, including the oil-fired boiler and storage, add to the home's practicality.
