9 Brookfield, Haggardstown, Blackrock, Co. Louth, A91EY13
Sale Type: For Sale by Private Treaty
Overall Floor Area: 344 m² If you had the chance to design and build the ideal home, a home that ticks all boxes – from accommodation to location and everything in between – the changes are you'd probably come up with 9 Brookfield.
This is very fine property indeed: It is a detached 5 bed home that enjoys an enviable location where town meets countryside. Within 200m you reach St Fursey's National School and Geraldine's GAA club. 1.5km takes you to Sexton's Bar & Restaurant, and 2 kms gets you to SuperValu, Fairways Hotel, your local Costa, pharmacy, GP clinic and Felda Health & Spa Centre. A little over 3 km away is the wonderful coastal village of Blackrock, which enjoys a complete array of interests in sport, recreation and socialising. Dundalk is the nearest large urban centre at 9 minutes' driving distance (6 km) and if your destination is farther afield, the nearest link to the M1 is 2.5 km away with Dublin Airport 45 minutes south, and a busy schedule of public transport links available linking you to Dublin and Belfast.
Brookfield is a lovely small neighbourhood of 12 detached homes – it's a well regarded and well maintained cluster of homes. Number 9 occupies, arguably, the best of the sites, with rolling countryside along the northern boundary. It enjoys a large site with gardens front and back, overlooking a green area. So there is a lovely sense of privacy but not isolation here.
The property was designed in a Georgian theme, so you can expect well proportioned rooms and a lovely symmetry.
Entrance hall with tiled vestibule leads through double doors to impressive hallway with feature solid mahogany staircase – it is flanked left and right by formal reception rooms: to left is the living room with beautiful white marble fireplace: you'll note from the photos that this room is large enough to hold not only a ‘parlour grand' piano, but all the musicians and audience to accompany it! Beyond is a south facing sunroom with tiled floor which is technically an 'Orangery' as it links the next reception room – the family / TV room, which in turn links to the kitchen. Indeed the layout of this home is fantastic – both for family practicality and for socialising.
The kitchen is very well provided for in terms of storage and worktop space, and at the heart is an old style Aga. Practical tiled floor here. Utility and guest wc are at the opposite side. The great circulation of this home brings you around finally to the other large reception room with another beautiful white marble fireplace. And you end up back in the lovely entrance hallway.
At first floor level, a lovely bright landing offers a lovely rest / reading area given the lovely aspect. Surrounding it are five bedrooms:
1 is a large double
2 is a large single currently fitted as a walk in wardrobe
3 is a large double
4 is a large double ensuite
5 is a large double ensuite
The main bathroom with jet jacuzzi bath and separate shower, fully tiled, completes the first floor accommodation.
But there's more… A full staircase continues to second floor where additional spaces provides much potential. Indeed, number 9 could be transformed into a 7 bed with adjustment and planning permission. But meantime, a great space for storage, den or home office? Lots of opportunity!
In addition to this being an impressive home as it currently stands, number 9 also offers future proofing potential were its next owner to require ground floor ensuite bedroom, which could be achieved with minimal disruption. Underfloor heating at ground floor.
Outside, there is a detached single garage and the low maintenance grounds are very private indeed.
All told, as I promised, a home that offers so much and will certainly appeal to many.
Viewing strongly recommended.
