7 Hersil Wood, Knocklyon, Dublin 16, D16HY82

Constructed by the Comer Group in conjunction with Thorpvale Construction, in 2016, 7 Hersil Wood forms part of an enclave development of 24 modern, A-rated homes located off Knocklyon Road, in the mature suburb of Knocklyon, in southwest County Dublin. Traditional in style and appearance, all of the houses have been completed to the highest standards of modern construction, finish and design, with outstanding energy efficiency, top quality materials and a host of high-end contemporary features. Like all the houses within the development, No7 was built to the highest specifications with many top-end features including hand-painted kitchens incorporating stone worktops, and tiled floors, engineered boards throughout the living area and hallways, carpeted upstairs and high quality wall and floor tiling in all bathrooms plus many more as standard. With a toasty A2 BER rating, 7 Hersil Wood is a highly energy efficient home, incorporating solar panels, energy saving gas condensing boilers, a state-of-the-art heat recovery system, triple glazed UPV Windows and a high level of insulation, all of which combine to lower energy costs. Spanning 165 sq m (1,776.05, sq. ft.), accommodation is laid out over three floors. On the ground floor, a good-sized entrance hall leads onto the sitting room, overlooking the front of the house - and, at the heart of the home, an open plan kitchen/living room/dining. This exceptionally large family living space is flooded with natural light streaming through double French doors with adjoining windows, leading into the back garden and two large Velux windows. A utility room off the kitchen, a guest bathroom off the hall and under stair storage completes the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor are four bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom along with a family bathroom and landing with stairs leading to the second floor. This upper floor is given over entirely to the main bedroom, an exceptionally large and beautifully decorated space with a feature triangular window overlooking the front garden and an ensuite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and an additional storage room off. Outside, the low-maintenance front garden has a drive providing ample off-street parking for two cars. From here, a gated passageway leads to the back garden. Knocklyon is a long established southside location, extremely popular with people looking to purchase a long-term family home. The location enjoys all the conveniences of a thriving Dublin suburb, with modern utilities and services including the M50, excellent bus route to the city centre (a stop for the 15 bus route is at the entrance to the estate), Marlay Park and excellent schools and colleges.
