We at Hunters Estate Agent are truly honoured to present to the market this very fine home of distinction, steeped in history, and with many stories to tell. Belclare, was originally part of the Ardmeen House estate and was the Cottage on the grounds. Ardmeen House was the home of the Lovell Butt family, and on the passing of Commander Lovell Butt in 1938, his wife Maud moved to Belclare, named after the townland, that Lovell Butt was originally from. In 1837 the gate lodge was used as a school, run by Sara Markham.
Room Details
Belclare, a charming, period detached residence, today presents as a very comfortable home that has been tastefully upgraded and modified by the present owners to provide light filled interiors from many of the dual aspect rooms. The balanced proportions of the two reception rooms and three double bedrooms extend to 165 sq.m./1,776 sq.ft. and provide all that a discerning purchase requires for modern day living in a nineteenth century home.
The spacious hall leads to the principal reception rooms. The Newcastle Design kitchen is complemented by an island unit for casual dining. An archway leads to the formal dining room and in turn to the reception room, with views over the garden and French doors to the patio, enjoying afternoon and evening sun. The utility room is spacious in size and can be accessed from the gardens too. A guest cloakroom completes the accommodation at this level. Rising to the first floor feature vaulted ceilings, double bedrooms with generous wardrobe space and two white bathroom suites await the new owner.Accessed via the original wrought iron gates the gravel drive affords off street parking. A picket fence leads to the wrap around lawn and in turn to two patio areas, benefitting from morning and evening sunshine. Specimen trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders and a cut stone wall border the property, giving great privacy in this prime location.
Positioned in a sylvan setting, off the tree lined Newtownpark Avenue, Belclare enjoys easy access to the nearby shops and bijou eateries in both Blackrock and Stillorgan. There are a number of premier schools within a leisurely stroll, and the S8 bus route provides connectivity to the city centre and the Dart.
