Description

Cloncarrig is a uniquely designed five bedroomed detached family home offering space at every twist and turn in both its living and bedroom accommodation.  The quality of Cloncarrig is in evidence throughout and the spaces within offer a multiple of uses or rearrangement to flow as the occupier would want.  Steeped in the older part of Douglas Village, Cloncarrig in its current form was built in 2011 on the site of a traditional bungalow and every part of it is new with the exception of its location.  It now stands as a modern, maintenance free home finished in smooth plaster with a punch out of stone work in its external façade.  The property boasts an impressive B1 energy rating over its 3,300 sq. ft. of space giving a truly magnificent home.  The floor to ceiling height at ground floor is a higher than standard at 8ft. 7” increasing to an impressive 12ft. 8” in the vaulted ceilings in the dining rooms as well as the cosy living room.The property abounds with quality from the Porcelain tiled floor running throughout the entire ground floor to the bespoke joinery and architrave in solid oak.  The use of rubber wood in the windows sills ensures they stand the test of time.  A pressurised water system combines with solar panels and adds to the overall efficiency of this home.  Built-in units from the kitchen to the living rooms as well as all bedrooms are bespoke and compliment the areas they are fitted into.  The use of glazing within the internal oak doors ensure the light doesn’t leave you as you go from one room to the next.  The neutral colour pallet of Porcelain tile running throughout the ground floor enhances and reflects this natural light further.  Indian Sandstone is used in the patio spaces and access walkways complementing the soft landscaping externally.At planning stage, the owners of this home sought a detached family home complete with self-contained granny flat.  It has been constructed in such a way to give an easy integration from what could be a fully self-contained unit while at the same time it is just as easy for the entire space to be integrated into the overall flow as one within this home.The outside of this home is as flawless as the internal.  Indian sandstone flags are used in the patio and side access.  A cobble lock driveway behind a sliding gate allows for parking of multiple cars.The location of this home in the heart of Douglas Village is sure to be sought after.  The district of Douglas takes its name from the river or rivulet bearing the Gaelic word dubhghlas or ‘dark stream’. It was the textile industry that influenced the layout of Douglas Village. On 1 June 1726, one of Ireland’s largest sailcloth factories at Douglas was begun to be built.  Originally a separate village, the growth of both the village and the city has meant Douglas has become incorporated into the city over time.  Douglas now offers a host of recreational facilities and sports clubs.  The village itself enjoys a selection of restaurant and night life venues.  Schools at both primary and second level are well catered for and can all be reached by strolling from this home.  There are regular bus services to the city centre and with two independent shopping centres at Douglas Court and Douglas Village there is very little need to leave this beautiful residential suburb.

Viewing is highly recommended to see all that this home has to offer.
