Glaisin Glorach represents a genuinely unique opportunity to acquire a truly delightful, detached bungalow residence, laid out over 0.3 acres of tiered grounds, ideally positioned in this wonderfully private setting on Mine Hill Lane, at the foothills of the Dublin Mountains. Dating back to circa. 1846, Glaisin Glorach has its origins as the offices and gate lodge to the Ballycorus Leadmines mines and offers views towards the original chimney flue which still stands today in and is within walking distance.
Glaisin Glorach represents a genuinely unique opportunity to acquire a truly delightful, detached bungalow residence, laid out over 0.3 acres of tiered grounds, ideally positioned in this wonderfully private setting on Mine Hill Lane, at the foothills of the Dublin Mountains. Dating back to circa. 1846, Glaisin Glorach has its origins as the offices and gate lodge to the Ballycorus Leadmines mines and offers views towards the original chimney flue which still stands today in and is within walking distance. The current owners renovated the property entirely in 2009 and further upgrade with a new roof constructed in 2020.
The property, which extends to approx. 80sqm (861sqft), is accessed via gated entrance leading to off-street parking available on a cobblelock drive. The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hall with Liscannor slate flooring which runs through to the delightful kitchen/ dining area from which the patio area and gardens are accessed via accordion style sliding door. There is a stunning dual aspect living room complete with feature height ceilings, bay window and a wood-burning stove. The property is completed with a stylish family bathroom and two double bedrooms. As noted, this wonderful home was upgraded in 2020, this included high-spec front and back stable-style doors and plantation shutters throughout.
A particularly important feature of this charming residence is the generous grounds. The gardens are set out over separate tiered levels complete with a mixture of stone and timber steps leading to a large area at the top allowing for wonderful views towards the mountains. The garden directly to the rear of the house is raised and laid mainly in lawn with a border of mature hedgerow providing a feel of seclusion. The gardens offer a perfect outdoor space for long summer days, while also providing ample scope for development should additional accommodation be required (subject to the relevant Planning Permission).
Glaisin Glorach offers a rural feel within easy reach of urban life, being within minutes of Kilternan, Stepaside Village and Carrickmines Retail Park with their excellent array of shops, restaurants and services. There are an excellent range of local schools, while recreational activities in the area are endless with numerous horse-riding stables, walking and hiking trials across the Dublin and Wicklow Mountains, a selection of local golf clubs, Leopardstown Racecourse with Westwood Gym, as well as many sporting facilities. There is a regular Dublin Bus service through Kilternan, while the LUAS at Carrickmines is a short drive away. The M50 and N11 are also within easy reach giving easy access to all areas of Dublin city and beyond.

The garden directly to the rear of the house is raised and laid mainly in lawn with stone steps leading to a decked area. The garden itself is bordered by mature hedgerow providing a feel of privacy and seclusion in this most tranquil of locations.

The current owners themselves have previously engaged architects to assist in the potential development of the property.
