Space aplenty on Meath border

Newbarn Lane lies between St Margaret’s and the Meath county border in the small parish of Kilsallaghan in north Co Dublin. Built in 2006 by the current owner, engineer Michael Flood, and designed by consultant engineers O’Connor Sutton Cronin, this spacious family home extends to a vast 316sq m (3,401 sq ft) over two levels.

The real selling point of this property is the huge proportions of the formal reception rooms. These were originally divided by concertina doors and have been opened up to create a triple aspect space with a footprint of 72sq m (775 sq ft) – the size of many city apartments. The space boasts two fireplaces, one period marble piece, and the second a cosy pot bellied stove.

A further fireplace lies in the dual aspect master bedroom, perfect for early winter nights.

Proportions are again echoed in the off-white shaker-style kitchen which extends to 43sq m. Housing a large five-ring Rangemaster set in speckled black granite countertops, the room leads to a further living room with a large bay window set into the gable of the house with views to the garden.

Both reception rooms and the kitchen open out on to a south-facing cobble-locked patio.

Upstairs are four large double bedrooms, the master of which is en suite complete with a separate dressingroom. The family bathroom has a sunken Jacuzzi bath, quadrant style shower, and marble flooring.

A mixture of solid oak flooring and crema marfil marble flooring runs through the ground floor, and upstairs is carpeted in pale cream wool.

There are views from all the windows on to the gardens, which are a mix of lawns and mature planting, accessed by electric gates leading up a sweeping driveway to the property’s entrance.

A double garage lies adjacent, and is clad in solid limestone, as is the house itself.

Newbarn Lane, in turnkey condition, will suit a family seeking a spacious home, and the one acre of private gardens, with a separate dog run, will happily house many family pets and provide lots of space for kicking footballs around.

The property is for sale through Lisney with an asking price of €625,000.
