Description
DNG are delighted to present Glenbrook House and Mews to the market.
Originally constructed in 1830 and further extended in 1845, Glenbrook House is a picturesque, L-plan house with many period features including roughcast façade, sash and case windows, a gabled entrance porch at the intersection of the L-plan and distinctive chimney pots with a moulded honeycomb pattern.
Nestled amidst c.2 acre of exceptionally private grounds in the heart of Enniskerry Village, Glenbrook House and Mews is a very fine residence which perfectly blends old world charm with the ultimate location, rendering this the ideal family home and nature-blessed retreat for
any prospective buyer.
The property is discretely tucked away in an elevated woodland setting, behind a screen of mature trees within 100m of Enniskerry Village square, and boasts, among other features, a magnificent heated outdoor swimming pool and tennis court. The beautiful grounds at
Glenbrook are both mature and diverse, with different levels connected by winding gravel pathways and featuring a pretty brook, which creates a special magical setting.
Gardens:
The breathtaking gardens of Glenbrook House and Mews, which are approached through electric security gates and feature a sweeping gravel driveway, create a wonderful outlook for this very fine period home. Carefully planted with a variety of roses, magnolias, camellias,
wisteria and an array of other flowers and plants, these elements are protected by a variety of mature evergreen and deciduous trees which also provide residents with total privacy.
There are several garden areas that offer a range of different uses: a lovely central pathway shaded by a clematis clad pergola, a vegetable garden with elevated raised beds; a fruit garden with a variety of fruit trees; a low maintenance lush lawned area bordered by blooming flower beds, all offering beautiful recreational spaces for a family to run and play. There is also a large original garden shed and several potting sheds currently used for storage and workspaces. Furthermore, there is a separate vehicular entrance from the cul de sac below the property, which provides useful additional access.
The gardens have been lovingly maintained throughout the years and are well stocked with a wide variety of flowers, plants and trees which come to life in an array of colour and scents, depending on the season. Enjoy a moment resting with a good book under a magnolia tree or take an early morning dip in the heated swimming pool or indeed challenge your friends to a game of tennis on your own private tennis court. This home truly caters for
every need.
