Hawthorn, Ballinascorney Lower, Co. Dublin, D24CF96

Hawthorn is a beautifully restored and architecturally reimagined protected farmhouse, discreetly positioned within the rolling countryside of Ballinascorney, Co. Dublin, enjoying breathtaking elevated views across Dublin and beyond. Originally constructed c.1880, this distinguished residence extends to approximately 280 sq.m. and has been comprehensively renovated in 2022 to an exceptional standard. The renovation was undertaken under the guidance of Studio DSQ, ensuring a sensitive and considered approach that respects the heritage of the original structure while introducing a striking contemporary intervention. The result is a seamless balance between old and new, with a bold rear extension clad in Yakisugi burnt timber creating a distinctive architectural statement that complements the traditional farmhouse aesthetic. A particularly notable feature is the original rear stone wall, which has been carefully retained and now forms a defining architectural element, extending through to the raised garden level and creating a seamless connection between the interior and the landscaped grounds beyond. Internally, the property is presented in turnkey condition, with a refined and cohesive design throughout. The original house retains elegant proportions and period detailing, including timber sash windows, while to the rear, the home opens into a spectacular light-filled living space with vaulted ceilings and expansive glazing. The open-plan kitchen, dining and family area forms the heart of the home, centred around a bespoke 3.3 metre granite island and designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The accommodation comprises four generous double bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms. A ground floor bedroom, served by a Jack and Jill bathroom, provides excellent flexibility, while upstairs includes a superb principal suite with en-suite. Two separate reception rooms, each with its own stove, offer both formal and informal living spaces. Externally, the property is set on approximately 0.7 acres of mature, landscaped grounds, offering a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. The gardens are a standout feature, with expansive lawns, established planting and uninterrupted countryside views. A further highlight is the detached garden annex, providing additional and highly versatile accommodation, complete with a mezzanine-style bedroom and traditional stable door, ideal as a guest suite, home office or creative studio. In addition, there is a substantial garage with double doors, offering space for multiple vehicles along with excellent storage and shelving, an increasingly rare and valuable feature. Hawthorn represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character, architectural merit and turnkey finish in one of Dublin’s most scenic and accessible settings.
