Majestic property at Kingswood

JUST a half a dozen big homes, built near an apartment development, make up the Kingswood enclave, in Waterford’s Ballinakill.

Out along (and effectively underneath) the Dunmore Road, Kingswood’s houses show the way in which design and construction of one-off homes took off during the good years.

No 1 has a contemporary feel and look inside and out with 3,500 sq ft of space over three levels. It has features like cedar trim, Rational-style wood and large corner windows, curved walls and a conical roof section, and a balcony overlooking lawns and mature boundary trees.

The setting is in one of Waterford’s most popular suburbs, close to the city centre, Ardkeen’ shops, and a minute’s ferry ride to Waterford Castle hotel and golf club.

A three-storey house, its top level is mostly open plan, useful as a play room or home office, it has five bedrooms with two en suites plus family bathroom, and modern and bright ground floor living areas. The kitchen is 20’ by 15’ with painted units and marble tops, and there’s a Waterford (naturally) Stanley stainless steel range cooker, with stainless steel splashback. Attention to finish and detail is high, with recessed lighting, very good sanitary ware, including some unusual shapes and there’s a deep, stand-alone bath in the master bed’s en suite, plus a double-sized shower. For them’s that like to soak together, there’s an outdoor hot tub, with sheltering roof, to the rear of the detached garage as part of the garden amenities. That split level garden also has wrap-around decking and a south-westerly aspect.

Other features include lots of walnut flooring, porcelain tiling and underfloor heating at ground and first floor levels, zoned heating, central vacuum, video intercom, wired broadband, and wiring for surround sound.
