Sunny side up among the trees in Killiney for €1.045m

The Woods, developed in the 1970s lies at the end of a winding tree-lined road which runs adjacent to Killiney Golf Club. Most of the original houses have been replaced with modern architectural statement homes, and Denecroft is one.

Two semi-detached four-bed houses, which are mirror images of each other, were completed in 2008, replacing the original old house which was purchased in 2004. On entering the wooded area, currently at its barest as most of the trees are deciduous, there is still a lot of privacy between the surrounding houses provided by greenery and shrubs rather than high walls.

Designed by Extend Architects, the house has a BER rating of B1, which considering the volume of glazing is quite incredible. Every single room has an abundance of light – including the hallway which is in the form of an atrium with a glass pitched roof.

This amount of glass would usually lead to incredible heat during warm weather but the beauty here is the trees will be laden with leaves by the time summer arrives, which will act as a shade for excess sun (should we be so fortunate) allowing only dappled light through.

Off the spacious hallway lies a study, a fine living room complete with a stove and very large open plan area which comprises a kitchen, raised dining area and family living space.

From the dining area there is access to the south-easterly facing rear garden. Extending to over 27 metres, it has an extensive granite patio and lawn. New owners may want to introduce some more shrubs here as there is lots of scope to do so.

The property has four fine sized bedrooms, two of which are en-suite. The main bedroom is very large and also has a small dressing room.

Sherry FitzGerald is selling the 213sq m (2,291sq ft) property with an asking price of €1.045million.
