SAUNAS HAVE HAD a significant spike in popularity over the past year. Towns and villages across the country, whether they’re on the coast or not, have been seeing the benefits of seats in the heat. If you’ve become a fan of sweating it out on the regular, then having your very own home sauna will surely pique your interest.
Gorseland is an architecturally designed home in Ashford, Co Wicklow that is the ultimate in luxury country living. And it’s not just the home sauna that contributes to this description. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear that Gorseland is something quite special. A sweeping driveway welcomes you to a grand entrance, complete with a double garage and extensive parking for up to ten vehicles.
Comprising about 623 m² floor space, the house is set on 1.75 acres of manicured grounds. Step inside and be immediately struck by the home’s sense of light and space. A bright, vaulted hallway leads to a series of impressively proportioned reception rooms, thoughtfully arranged to take full advantage of natural light and glorious views. The open plan living and dining spaces are complemented by a show-stopping family kitchen, finished with sleek Miele appliances, granite worktops and a generous central island.
No doubt, the sauna is a big draw, but so too are the fully equipped gym, private bar and dedicated home cinema.
The seven bedrooms make up the upper floors, four of which have en suite bathrooms and bespoke wardrobes. The main suite has a private balcony with breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside and Irish Sea, as well as two luxurious dressing rooms. Three bedrooms share balcony access, too.
The eighth bedroom is found within a self-contained suite with its own private entrance, offering flexibility and privacy for guests or elderly family members.
Sustainability meets sophistication with the inclusion of geothermal underfloor heating across both levels, ensuring comfort with a little environmental footprint. Smart home wiring and CCTV provisions add a layer of modern convenience and security.
The grounds are just as impressive as the interiors. A tennis court, sun-drenched patio terraces and rolling lawns with mature planting create a truly idyllic outdoor setting.
As for the area, championship golf courses, equestrian facilities and unspoilt beaches are all close by, while Dublin is a straightforward commute within an hour. Excellent schools and local amenities are close at hand, making this both a convenient and luxurious base for family life.
