Larkfield

Set amidst 0.9 of an acre of mature, landscaped gardens, Larkfield is an exceptional family residence extending to approximately 295 sq. m. (3,175 sq. ft.). Positioned on the highly sought-after Balure Lane, a discreet laneway off Church Road, this elegant home offers a rare sense of seclusion in one of South County Dublin’s most prestigious addresses.

A sweeping driveway sets the tone for the tranquillity and grandeur that lie beyond. Larkfield has been lovingly extended and immaculately maintained, marrying timeless character with its substantial footprint and enviable location.

Inside, the home is defined by classical proportions, elegant detailing, and interiors that are both refined and welcoming. The principal reception rooms are gracious, bright, and ideal for entertaining. The traditional drawing room, enjoying a dual aspect and centred around a handsome fireplace, provides a warm and sophisticated focal point. On the opposite side of the hall is the dining room with a door through to the study and in turn connects to the breakfast room, living room and kitchen catering effortlessly to both family life and formal occasions. An inner lobby off the kitchen opens to the rear garden and connects to the utility/laundry room, pantry and cloakroom/guest w.c. Upstairs, four generously appointed bedrooms provide comfort and serenity, each one tastefully decorated and finished to a high standard. The main suite is particularly impressive, enjoying picturesque views across the manicured gardens to the front. Throughout the home, an atmosphere of calm sophistication prevails, underpinned by a cohesive design palette and quality finishes.

The grounds at Larkfield are a true sanctuary. Carefully cultivated over several decades, the gardens are framed by mature trees and sweeping lawns, with colour and texture thoughtfully layered throughout. An enchanting garden room offers an idyllic setting for al fresco dining or quiet reflection, as does the raised Indian sandstone patio with its patio heater and generous awning. Beyond the formal planting, a once lively tennis court now lies gently overgrown, offering an exciting opportunity for restoration or reinvention within the landscape. A series of discreet outbuildings and storage sheds provide valuable functionality without compromising the garden’s enduring charm.
