28 Le Fourré

Nestled in a quiet and secluded cul-de-sac in the heart of Foxrock, 28 The Thicket is one of the finest examples of discreet, modern living to come to the market in recent years. Set on mature grounds extending to approx. 0.25 acres, offering an oasis of peace and tranquillity, yet close to the popular village of Foxrock, this superbly designed home offers generous accommodation with excellent flow, perfect for family living in a prime location. Built in 2012, the property has been finished to the highest of standards to create a bright and welcoming home. 

Extending to 351sqm (3,779 sqft) and approached through electric gates and with a gravel and cobble-lock combination driveway opening into a parking area with off-street parking for multiple cars, the façade gives little away about what lies inside. Upon entering the front door, a welcoming entrance hallway with sweeping staircase is the focal point, while glazed double doors draw the eye to the kitchen and rear garden beyond. To the left, a spacious office with custom cabinetry looks over the front garden, while the kitchen/living/dining stretches across the back of the home with three sets of large sliding doors opening to the rear garden. The custom Italian kitchen features a granite centre island, while the living room enjoys a modern integrated wood burning stove. To one end is the highly functional utility room with a door to the rear garden, while off the living room is a cosy snug with modern wood-burning stove and French door out to the side garden, hardwired with a cinema sound system. Also at this level is a generous storage room, guest w.c. and plant room with a geothermal heating system, comms cabinet, heat recovery system and central vacuum cleaner system.

Upstairs, a magnificent gallery landing opens into the five double bedrooms. The main bedroom has a very pleasant outlook to the rear garden, with a large walk-in wardrobe and dressing area. An en-suite bathroom off this is exceptionally well sized with free-standing bath and separate walk-in shower. The second bedroom, also with views over the rear garden, enjoys it’s own walk-in wardrobe and separate en-suite, while the other three bedrooms all have tastefully finished en-suite bathrooms. 

An extension in recent years has added more accommodation to the property in the form of a large double garage with underfloor heating and a self-contained one-bedroom apartment above. This unit, sitting among the trees of Foxrock, has a good-sized kitchen/living/dining room, separate bedroom and en-suite shower room, with an entrance hallway that connects the garage to the main house but also has separate external access. 

The gardens are a key feature of the property, with a range of exquisite trees, plants and shrubs including fern trees and a banana tree, a sun-trap patio stretches along the back of the home. Stepping stones lead through an arch-sculpture to the rear deck, perfect for evening entertaining and with lovely views back to the house. Both the front and rear gardens enjoy lighting for use throughout the evening and night.

Further features of this wonderful home include a hardwired nine camera security system, video intercom to the front gates, 3,500 underground rainwater harvesting system, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and a central vacuum cleaner system.
