LOCATED BEHIND ELECTRIC gates on well-known Model Farm Road, this four-bed detached gem promises the perfect mix of tranquillity and convenience. Sitting on a beautifully landscaped half acre site, this impressive family home is an opportunity to live in one of the city’s most popular locations.

From the moment you arrive, it becomes clear that Clifden is something special. Mature trees and perfectly maintained hedging provide an immediate sense of privacy, shielding the home from the outside world and creating a peaceful retreat just minutes from the city centre. The grounds are equally striking with lush lawns, seasonal planting and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces sure to make the garden a joy to be in at any time of year.

Step inside, and Clifden continues to delight. The entrance leads to a warm, welcoming interior that blends classical features with modern comforts. The ground floor has two beautifully appointed reception rooms, both with picture windows that frame the manicured garden at the front. Each space exudes character. One has rich wood flooring and the other has soft carpeting but both feature ornate fireplaces that offer a focal point for family gatherings or relaxed evenings.

At the heart of the home lies a bright, dual-aspect kitchen and dining area. Bathed in natural light thanks to its south-west orientation, this space is both functional and stylish. Fitted with sleek granite worktops, ample cabinetry and high-end appliances, it’s a kitchen designed with both cooking and entertaining in mind.
