Elmhurst Ballybride Road Rathmichael, Rathmichael, Co. Dublin

Elmhurst is a wonderful, architect designed, detached brick fronted single storey four-bedroom family home that was built in approximately 1979. The grounds were once the orchard for Ellerslie House and Elmhurst occupies a large private plot extending to approximately 0.7 acre. This family home has been renovated throughout to a very high standard and now offers potential purchasers’ turnkey accommodation, tastefully decorated in a Scandinavian style. The accommodation is conveniently laid out over one level with a B1 energy rating, triple glazed windows, and an energy efficient heat exchange system. The property is approached via a long tree-lined private driveway accessed from the Ballybride Road and there is a cedar clad electric gate with a keypad and intercom system. To the front there is off street parking for several cars and a large garage to the side. Internally the accommodation extends to approximately 180sq.m. (1,938 sq.ft.) with Kährs wide oak engineered flooring throughout and comprises a welcoming dual aspect entrance hall with bespoke birch ply fitted storage and a workstation/home office. To the rear of the hallway there are steps down to a cosy family room overlooking the rear garden and central courtyard.

The grounds of Elmhurst are incredibly private and the garden wraps around the house. The property was designed in a clever U-shape with a central courtyard accessible from most of the rooms which results in light filled accommodation throughout.
