Description

Bydon is a substantial architecturally designed five-bedroom, two story over basement detached family home hidden away off Glasheen Road, a mature residential area on the doorstep to all major hospitals and universities. Designed by James Leahy Architect, and built by its current owners in 2008, this interesting home has much to offer and stands on a site of approximately 0.16 of an acre. Design and materials used within its construction are exceptional to include a zinc roof, cedar cladding on the eastern elevation with cedar louvers on the full height stairs and landing windows as well brick and plaster exterior finishes elsewhere. Inside is a sense of luxury and comfort with specifications to include solid floors throughout with zoned underfloor geothermal heating, a heat recovery ventilation system, solar powered hot water, pressure water system, internal vacuum system and centralised sound and tv station within a plant room in the basement. Accommodation is bright and airy throughout taking advantage of the south and west sunlight, with many rooms featuring a dual aspect. Upon stepping inside Bydon you are greeted by a feature stone clad wall with glass panel peeking into a double sided stove in the family room. Next you are drawn to the full height windows within the stairwell with architecturally designed concrete and Oak stairs with glass and perforated sheet balustrades. Turning left leads you into a dual aspect family room with a solid Walnut floor and Firebelly wood stove with granite hearth. Turning right passing the wc and cloaks press leads you into a large bright open plan kitchen/dining/living area with quality fitted kitchen and utility by Bernie O'Mahony, Carrigaline with large centre island and granite worktops. The kitchen features a bespoke glass art ornamental wall separating the utility. There are double doors off the living area leading to the private gardens. Upstairs are four double bedrooms (two with en-suite while the main bedroom boasts a dressing area and walk-in wardrobe) and main bathroom. The basement has a 5th double bedroom, a large games room/office/cinema room and plant/store room. The property is accessed through electronic gates off Schoolboy's Lane with separate pedestrian gate. The gardens, which face south & west, are low maintenance featuring an extensive Indian sandstone patio, mature shrubs and trees and a sunken water feature and pond area with wall seating. There is ample private parking on a graveled drive. In addition there is a detached garden room, ideal as a home office (with power and internet connection) and separate storage shed to the rear. Bydon is tucked away off Glasheen Road with the benefit of the recently upgraded Schoolboy's Lane giving direct pedestrian access onto Magazine Road/College Road on the doorstep of the Bons Secours Hospital, UCC and is within an easy walk of Wilton Shopping Centre, CUH, Cork city centre and South Link road network. All major schools are close by to included Glasheen National School, Saint Catherines, Mount Mercy, Gaelscoi Ui Riada, Saint Josephs and Presentation Brothers College just to name a few. Such a superbly convenient location makes for an attractive move for buyers wanting to live in this fantastically mature area. This one of a kind home that should not be missed and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Don't delay arrange a viewing today.
