Old world features combine with today’s living requirements
The gardens of this property are where the home truly comes into its own. Having formerly been part of the estate of Ballintemple House there are little treasures within the garden linking back to those times. The footings of what was more than likely a glass house allows for a planted raised bed of vegetables all encased in a low red brick wall. The gardens directly adjacent to the house and external patio are laid to lawn encased by planted flowering beds with some rewilding in evidence enhancing the experience of watching nature perform at its best. Meandering paths pass through defined lawned areas, additional planted flowering beds as well as mature evergreens, passing by the garden room on the way to the back part of the grounds. This area again enjoys elements of rewilding beneath a canopy of mature trees and features a sculpture set against the backdrop of old stone walls and hedges encasing the property. The current owners of Jesmond know exactly how to get best use and enjoyment from these gardens and have strategically created discreet seating areas to maximise this.
The property is directly accessed from the Blackrock Road via double privacy gates leading to ample parking for 3 or 4 cars. A feature tree sits within the driveway as a nod to the original age of this home while at the same time reflecting the maturity of the house.
