Knocknagow is a truly exceptional detached dormer-style residence of immense style and character, superbly positioned in a mature and highly sought-after location on Yellow Walls Road, just a stone's throw from the pedestrian gates of Malahide Castle and its magnificent grounds. The property also enjoys the convenience of being within a short stroll of Malahide Village, with its excellent range of restaurants, boutiques, renowned pubs, schools, churches, and DART station. Scenic walks along the estuary and coastline are all close by, offering an enviable lifestyle.

Constructed in 2011 to an exceptional standard, Knocknagow was expertly designed by Tyler Owens Architects. Behind its elegant façade lies a beautifully appointed interior, offering gracious formal and family accommodation with light-filled rooms and a host of unique architectural features. The property has been meticulously maintained and presented with impeccable taste, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

Among the many outstanding features are a natural Spanish slate roof, a bespoke country-style kitchen by Alan Brown, tumbled marble honed flooring in the reception hall, kitchen, guest WC and utility room, high-quality Carlson windows, and gas-fired central heating with a recently upgraded boiler, complemented by underfloor heating in the kitchen and utility. The gardens were professionally redesigned in 2019, and the property is further enhanced by electronic security gates.

An impressive reception hall makes a striking first impression, featuring a tumbled marble floor, decorative wall panelling, and an overhead gallery-style landing. A bespoke winding staircase leads to the upper floor, while a guest cloakroom and WC are conveniently located off the hall. Steps lead down to the expansive family living area to the rear.

The elegant drawing room is positioned to the front and benefits from dual-aspect windows, including a feature bay window, ensuring an abundance of natural light. A refined fireplace and wide plank mahogany flooring complete this sophisticated space.

To the rear, a magnificent open-plan family room, dining area, and kitchen span the full width of the property, forming the heart of the home. Tumbled marble flooring with underfloor heating, mood lighting, and large roof lights create a bright and inviting environment. The kitchen, designed by Alan Brown in a classic country style, features an excellent range of fitted units, marble worktops, a central island, a Rangemaster cooker, and premium appliances including a Fisher & Paykel American fridge. A separate utility room provides additional storage and access to the side entrance.

The family area is enhanced by attractive wall panelling and a dedicated TV space, while two sets of double doors open onto the beautifully landscaped rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. At ground floor level, there are two generously sized ensuite bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family living or guests.

Upstairs, the striking winding staircase leads to a spacious gallery landing. The principal bedroom suite is located to the rear and features a large picture window overlooking the garden, a private dressing area, and a luxurious ensuite. There are two further bedrooms on this level both with attractive ceiling detail and complemented by a superb family bathroom.

Outside, the gardens are a standout feature, having been professionally redesigned in 2019. The front garden is accessed via electronic security gates and is laid out in a gravel courtyard style, providing secure off-street parking. A side entrance leads to the magnificent rear garden, which has been expertly landscaped with extensive patio and terrace areas, colourful flower beds, and a low-maintenance artificial lawn.

Combining architectural excellence, luxurious finishes, and a prime location close to Malahide Village, Knocknagow represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of true distinction. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that it has to offer.

About Sherry FitzGerald, Swords

32 - 36 Main Street, Swords, Co. Dublin

Looking at the company today and thinking back to its’ origins, it’s interesting to see how, in the 30 or so years since its formation, the business has now grown to become Ireland’s largest, fully diversified property advisory firm servicing the residential and commercial property markets. Sherry FitzGerald was founded in 1982 as a result of the amalgamation of 2 companies – FitzGerald & Partners (founded 1972) and Sherry & Sons (founded in 1949). Back in 1982 we had just one residential office on Merrion Row in Dublin 2 with a second office in Terenure not opening until 1989.

Despite the economic difficulties of the 1980’s, the company recruited for the future by forming a team of young property professionals who shared a common vision of a new type of auctioneering company. From the start, we practiced a strong gender balance philosophy, a philosophy we have continued to practice to this day. We understood the absolute prerequisite to have a strong ethical foundation, combined with a sense of unparalleled customer service. That is why, back then, we introduced a non-negotiable rule of not allowing anyone in the company to buy a second-hand house off our own books, coupled with introducing opening 7 days a week into what had traditionally been a ‘9.30 – 5.30 & closed for lunch’ industry. Our strap line in those early days was ‘the new generation of estate agents’ which subsequently evolved into ‘the agent you’d recommend to a friend’.

In 1992 we were the first organisation in the history of the State, outside the Department of the Environment, to provide coherent house price information to the general public and subsequently launched our Dublin house price index in 1996. Today we employ 4 economists and, through all the challenges of the greatest property crash in Europe, we kept our commitment to research and transparent information by not only retaining this function, but by further resourcing it. Our national property index, launched in 1999, is a benchmark in terms of accurate reporting of house price trends. Every 3 months, over the last 15 years, this national index has been published without fear or favour.

In 1998 we opened our first office outside Dublin in Galway. In the same year we launched one of Ireland’s first property websites – www.sherryfitz.ie.

1998 also saw us consolidate our growing commercial presence by forming a joint venture company with the global property advisory firm DTZ Holdings – DTZ Sherry FitzGerald. Today DTZ Sherry FitzGerald is Ireland’s most successful and only nationwide commercial property advisor with offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and an associated office in Belfast.

In 1999 we launched Ireland’s first ever national property franchise organisation. Today there are 66 Sherry FitzGerald franchise offices, providing property advice in every corner of Ireland.

In the same year the Group acquired the Ross McParland New Homes business which was subsequently rebranded Sherry FitzGerald New Homes.

The new century kicked off with the acquisition of Cork’s leading residential estate agency, Burton Crowley O’Flynn, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald and now occupying a flagship office, housing both our Commercial and Residential business on Lapps Quay in the heart of Cork city.

The year 2000 also saw the launch of Mortgage Insight, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald Financial Services, providing independent mortgage and financial advice.

In 2000 our Chief Executive, Mark FitzGerald, came up with the idea of launching a national property portal and led the process of putting together the team, the partners and the investors that made it happen, with the subsequent successful launch of MyHome.ie in 2001. MyHome.ie quickly became Ireland’s largest and most innovative property website and, 5 years after its launch, was acquired by the Irish Times.

Meanwhile, DTZ Sherry FitzGerald was growing rapidly. In 2004 the company acquired the niche commercial practice of CS Tierney O’Neill as well as further strengthening the Cork commercial business by acquiring the former Collier Jackson Stops office.

In 2005 Sherry FitzGerald successfully diversified into the U.K. market with the acquisition of the 150 year old, central and West London estate agency of Marsh & Parsons. In the following year, Marsh & Parsons acquired another London estate agency, Vanstons, which was rebranded Marsh & Parsons, and in the subsequent 5 years we grew this network to 14 London offices employing over 200 people. In 2011 we successfully sold the Marsh & Parsons business leaving the business debt free.

The timing of the Marsh & Parsons acquisition also helped to protect the Sherry FitzGerald parent business during the depths of the property crash, enabling us to keep all our own offices open and 200 people directly employed. This made us the largest Irish property business to emerge from the crash.

In 2006 we launched two community initiatives supported by the Sherry FitzGerald Foundation. Firstly, the "Your Home Away From Home" which saw us underwrite the purchase of 5 Fontenoy Street, Phibsboro for Temple Street Children´s Hospital to use as parents’ accommodation for two families 365 days a year. We subsequently arranged two successful 10km Walkathons to raise funds for the project. Secondly, we were instrumental in the establishment of Amawele - a new national charity which now twins 85 schools in Ireland with schools in the Eastern and West Cape of South Africa.

In 2008 we were chosen by Christie’s International Real Estate to be their exclusive affiliate in Ireland. This partnership gives sellers of prestige homes in Ireland access to international markets. Likewise we can also offer the owners of luxury property abroad access to local expertise when they come to sell, via the global Christie’s International Real Estate network.

In 2013, we acquired our two residential franchise offices in Galway and Limerick and opened our first Blackrock office in 2014. Since its foundation in August 1982, the Sherry FitzGerald Group has grown from a small fledgling company in one location to a nationwide, diversified business operating in 88 different locations. Currently we employ 315 people directly in our 22 owned offices across a diversified residential and commercial property business (18 residential, 4 commercial), alongside our franchise business with an additional 69 offices throughout Ireland, separately employing over 200 people. Sherry FitzGerald Group remains an Irish privately owned business and committed to leading the marketplace as we have done over the last 32 years.
