Elegance meets nature at this eight-bed countryside retreat for €2,250,000

Beechwood House in Glencullen stands on 2.5 acres and is full of potential.

WITH EIGHT BEDROOMS, seven bathrooms, and a generous floor area of 455 m², Beechwood House is a dream home when it comes to space and privacy in a location that offers the best of both worlds. Despite its idyllic rural setting and the 2.5 acres of land that surrounds it, this huge home is close to more urban areas such as Stepaside and Kilternan.  

It’s now on the market for €2,250,000.

Straight off the bat, it’s clear that this is a home with endless possibilities even if the style isn’t to everyone’s taste. Arriving at Beechwood House, you’re greeted by a spacious driveway with electric gates along with well landscaped gardens. This home has been thoughtfully designed to ensure that it blends with its natural surroundings, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the exterior.

Inside Beechwood House, you’ll find a unique layout that sets it apart from ordinary homes. The property is built around an internal courtyard, providing a constant connection to the surrounding landscape. This courtyard coupled with the large windows flood the house with natural light, making it a welcoming and inviting space. 

At the moment, one room is currently being used as a snooker room with a bar area. Double doors from here lead to the back garden that faces west.

The living areas are large and bright thanks to bay windows and high ceilings. One is home to an elegant marble fireplace with a wood burning stove.

The kitchen incorporates a dining space and is filled with integrated appliances, is home to another wood burning stove and has a large island that helps zone the space as well as make cooking more enjoyable.

Off the kitchen is a utility room, a side entrance and a guest toilet for extra convenience.

On the right side of the house is the main bedroom that has a view of the front gardens, its own bathroom and a large, walk-in wardrobe. Three more double bedrooms overlook the internal courtyard and sit alongside a family bathroom and a guest toilet.

At the top of the house, there is another room that’s currently used as a gym with an indoor sauna.

The house also features four self-contained studios at the back, making it an attractive option for Airbnb income. Airbnb or not, anyone who buys this house is sure to have their fair share of guests to entertain.

There’s even potential for equestrian activities, with a rolling paddock and a second private access point off Ballybrack Road. A large garage and a greenhouse means that no matter the hobby, there’s enough space for it.

Although nestled in the countryside, Beechwood House is under a ten minute drive from Stepaside village, and therefore the M50 motorway is within easy reach. Dublin Bus services run regularly through Stepaside Village and the 44B route passes right by the door. The LUAS is also another option if the city centre calls.

Dundrum Town Centre and Sandyford Industrial Estate are also close and for some fresh air, there are endless walking trails in the Dublin mountains and Co Wicklow to take advantage of, too. 

There’s no denying that this house is unique in design – match this with a stunning location that’s a convenient distance from the city and it ticks a lot of boxes. 

Beechwood House, Ballybrack Road, Glencullen, Co Dublin is on the market for €2,250,000 through Keane Thompson Property Consultants.
