A home that seems to ooze charm, this Foxrock property is filled with creative design touches and boasts exceptional gardens brimming with lavender bushes, Japanese holly and a mature fig tree.
A hugely impressive modern, detached home of distinction, Weavers Hall was designed by Paul Brazil Architect and built 1999. This Foxrock family home enjoys a unique and charming style with many creative design touches, positioned on a large site of landscaped gardens.
Located on Plunkett Avenue, Westminster Road, Foxrock, this Dublin 18 home extends to 478.51 sqm/5,150 sqft, and is appointed to the highest specification with underfloor heating, extensive use of solid limed oak joinery, limestone flooring and sandstone contemporary fireplaces to name a few. The attention to detail is exceptional.
On entering the hall with vaulted ceiling and copper chandelier, a sandstone fireplace with double height sandstone chimney draws the eye upwards, to the galleried landing with limed oak banisters, setting the tone for what lies within.
Externally the slate roof with bargeboards, sash windows, part brick part render finish, combined with a well-appointed two storey octagonal sunroom and cupola to the side creating a tower-like vision, all combine to make this an extremely attractive family home.
In addition to the main residence there is a separate detached double garage complete with pitched roof and storage rooms to include a utility room and a separate, first floor one-bedroom self-contained apartment. Ideal for an au pair or additional family member.
The gardens of Weavers Hall are undoubtedly a unique and outstanding feature. Positioned on a generous site of 1.00ha/2.47 acres, they are private, mature and enjoy a rural setting which is almost impossible to find in a Dublin suburb.
Planted with design and vision to ensure maximum privacy, they have been nurtured and maintained to provide for different moods and zones. Family friendly lawned areas provide plenty of space for kicking a ball, a trampoline or swings. Strategically placed paved patio areas allow for more relaxed enjoyment and outdoor dining.
Garden paths and walks are delineated with neatly trimmed Buxus hedging and specimen plants interspersed with loose gravelled walkways. Finding a garden with over an acre of land is rare, but to have a garden of more than two acres is a complete luxury.
Designed by Helen Dillon, one of Ireland’s best known gardeners, the lines of landscaping are simple and well defined thanks to a clever and considered design. A gravel driveway gently curves its way to the house, a dozen or so sycamore maple trees are peppered around the front lawn for privacy and intrigue before revealing with impact the main house.
The gardens are a captivating blend of elegance and horticultural mastery comprising attractive flowerbeds and paths brimming with specimen trees and shrubs. Highlights include rhododendron beds, Japanese holly, maple trees and privet hedges, European beech, paper birch and at the back door standing proud is a mature fig tree.
