WE ALL KNOW the importance of making a good first impression, and an attractive stone facade is a sure-fire way to make one with your home.
This week we’re looking at four homes with stone exteriors – from a stylish four-bed in Cork to a townhouse in Dublin 8.
Measuring 3,292 sq ft and on a 0.5 acre site, Stone Lodge is a spacious and thoughtfully designed four-bed home. The property was built in 2005 and fully refurbished in 2016, with an abundance of attractive features including a Liscannor stone exterior and engineered wood flooring.
The heart of the home is a bespoke hand-painted kitchen with a large centre island, a double door larder press, ample storage, a breakfast bar and a window seat. To the rear, the garden is south-west facing and includes a large lawn and sunken trampoline, while there’s a garage of 538 sq ft to the side.
Located a 15-minute walk from Royal Hospital Kilmainham, 6 Ashmount Court is a charming three-bed townhouse. The mid-terrace property features an attractive stone facade with triple glazed sash windows, with exterior steps leading to the front door.
The ground floor accommodation includes a living room with a solid fuel fireplace and an open-plan kitchen/dining area with glossy cabinets and a breakfast bar. Sliding doors with plantation shutters lead to the south-facing garden, where there’s a patio area with artificial grass and a raised decking area.
Overlooking Dundrum House Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort, Kilmore Lodge is a charming and inviting four-bed family home. It features an attractive cut stone entrance, while surrounding mature trees and shrubbery create a sense of privacy.
The accommodation comprises an open-plan kitchen/diner, a utility room, a spacious living room, a study, four bedrooms and five bathrooms (including three en suite bathrooms). Dundrum village is less than a five-minute drive away, while the Dublin/Cork motorway can be reached in 15 minutes.
Overlooking the beautiful Killary Fjord from an elevated site, Killary View is a slice of paradise. There’s a spacious deck and BBQ area to the side, making for the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the sight of the surrounding mountains and water.
The open plan kitchen, living and dining area is the heart of the home, with double height ceilings, hardwood floors and a multi-fuel stove with a feature stone surround. There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor, while the master suite is at mezzanine level.
