Description
A Distinctive Family Home in a Prestigious Private Setting
Tucked away within the exclusive gated enclave of Glinbury, this exceptional five-bedroom detached residence combines elegant architectural design with state-of-the-art modern comforts. Built to the very highest standards and surrounded by mature trees, No. 1 occupies one of the most desirable positions within this sought-after development — a peaceful, sylvian setting only moments from Rathfarnham Village and the foothills of the Dublin Mountains.
Designed with energy efficiency and ease of living in mind, the property boasts underfloor heating, which runs throughout both levels, powered by an advanced air-to-water heat pump system, while smart-home technology allows for convenient control of lighting, heating and media. Every detail has been carefully considered — from extra-tall doors and generous ceiling heights to the soft neutral palette that enhances the home’s sense of calm and sophistication.
Extending to approx. 281 sq.m / 3,025 sq.ft, this striking A-rated home offers light-filled interiors, high ceilings, and an effortless sense of space. From the moment you step into the wide entrance hall, the tone is set — clean lines, refined materials and a natural flow between rooms.
The formal living room, with its feature fireplace and large picture window, provides an inviting space for entertaining or quiet evenings, while to the rear, a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family area forms the true heart of the home. Full-height sliding doors open directly onto the landscaped gardens, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor connection perfect for family life and summer gatherings.
The bespoke kitchen is fitted with handcrafted cabinetry, quartz worktops and a full suite of premium integrated appliances. A spacious utility and boot room adjoins, ensuring every practical need is thoughtfully catered for.
Upstairs, the master suite provides a spacious and well-designed main bedroom, complete with a luxurious en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. Four further double bedrooms (two en-suite) and a stylish family bathroom complete the accommodation — each finished with the same attention to quality, light, and proportion. A large attic space provides excellent storage and potential for future conversion if desired.
Occupying one of the most generous plots in the development at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this property enjoys exceptional privacy and a tranquil setting. To the front, there is off-street parking for several vehicles alongside a neatly maintained front garden. The side garden provides additional outdoor space and scope for future extension, subject to the necessary planning consents. At the rear, a secluded garden with a patio and a wide expanse of lawn framed by the beautiful mature trees that surround the Glinbury Development.
Created by Heatherbrook Homes in collaboration with OCOR Architects, Glinbury is an exclusive collection of just eleven tastefully designed four- and five-bedroom houses, set on the historic Glinbury House estate adjacent to the Grange Golf Club. Reflecting Heatherbrook’s hallmark craftsmanship the development retains a sense of heritage and character, with mature trees and landscaped gardens preserving the legacy of generations of gardeners. The River Glin winds through a private wooded valley, creating a tranquil and secluded environment that complements the elegance of the homes. Residents benefit from an exceptional South Dublin location. Marlay Park, St Enda’s Park, and the Dublin Mountains provide abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation, while Rathfarnham Village, Dundrum Town Centre, and a variety of cafes, restaurants, and boutiques are close at hand. Regular bus routes and quick access to the M50 ensure convenient commuting while there are a host of splendid local schools including; Whitechurch primary National School just minutes from Glinbury, and St Columba’s College, one of Ireland’s most exclusive secondary schools a few minutes away. There are also many excellent secondary schools locally including Loreto High School Beaufort for girls and Rockbrook and Coláiste Éanna for boys.
