1 The Mews, Monkstown Castle, Monkstown, Co Dublin, A94YY24

1 The Mews is a stunning end of terrace home built in circa 2005 and designed by de Blacam & Meagher Architects. This exclusive development consists of just five town houses enjoying a leafy and tranquil setting within the grounds of the estate of Monkstown Castle. The external design and architectural features of the development replicate the 18th Century architecture of John Skipton Mulvaney carried out at Monkstown Castle and who also designed other prominent buildings in the Dun Laoghaire/Monkstown area such as Trafalgar Terrace, the Royal St George Yacht Club and Dun Laoghaire Railway Station. Finishes such as natural green/grey slates used for the roof, Carlow limestone used in a traditionally crafted fashion at the eaves, sills to all windows and to the base plinth, main entrance door surrounds and feature ground floor windows contribute to the overall luxurious feel of this boutique development. All windows and doors externally are painted mahogany with Historic paint colours having been selected for all external walls and joinery. The Mews is approached via a tree lined avenue sweeping into the development. No 1 is fronted with a ramped entrance threshold and patio in granite setts and reconstituted stone kerbing. Internally, the open living area is located on the ground floor with direct access to the landscaped garden. The kitchen is custom designed with floor to ceiling storage units and integrated electrical appliances and is separated from the dining room with a concealed sliding door. A solid Oak staircase is naturally lit by high and low level windows. On the first floor, there is a bathroom, three bedrooms - a single room to the front and two double bedrooms to the rear overlooking the garden. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower. Copper conservation style roof lights provide natural light to the bathroom and en-suite.
