St. Ann's: Panoramic sea view and private oasis
St Ann's is a superb detached two-storey garden-level Victorian family home, occupying an elevated position on Killiney Hill Road with panoramic sea views. The site extends to around 1.35 acres of mature private grounds and the house retains many period features from the era, including high ceilings, sliding sash windows and fine stucco work.
The property is accessed via electric gates that open onto a large driveway offering ample off-street parking.
The main house extends to approximately 610 m² over three levels. On the hall level, a portico opens onto a bright and spacious reception room with an Adam-style fireplace, a library, a connecting living/dining room with views over Killiney Bay. A smart contemporary extension by Gerry Cahill Architects has been added to the side and is the heart of this family home, which harmoniously blends old and new.
The kitchen is fitted with minimalist Bulthaup units, floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the space with light and there is access to a terrace overlooking the park with magnificent views. Next to the kitchen, there's a storage room, laundry room and guest toilet on this level.
Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms and an office. The master suite is truly spectacular, spanning the full width of the house with breathtaking views and complemented by luxurious his and hers bathrooms and a bespoke dressing room designed by John Daly. A family bathroom and powder room complete the accommodation on the top floor.
On the lower garden level, there's a wine cellar, family room, games room and shower room.
Adjacent to the main house, there's a detached mews that extends to around 335 sq m (3,606 sq ft approx.) with a 10-m indoor pool, changing rooms, gym and guest accommodation, including a two-bedroom unit on the first floor with kitchen, living room, off-street parking and vehicular access to Saintbury Avenue. On the second floor, there's a living/dining room, kitchen and en suite guest bedroom.
There is access to a large sun terrace (18 m x 6.75 m) which enjoys sun all day, there's a built-in barbecue, and it's a great place to entertain when the weather's nice. The grounds of St. Ann's are immensely private with mature planting, flowering trees including magnolias, flowering cherry, oak and horse chestnut.
Peter Pearson described St. Ann's in his book Between the Mountains to the Sea, "as a large Victorian house with terraced gardens, with unusual features of rounded corners and a small gable in the center of the front." The Du Beats, who were a notable stockbroking family, owned the house in the 1860s, with later occupants including Sir John Barrington, Lord Mayor of Dublin, and writer Constantine Fitzgibbon.
Killiney is a highly sought-after location for families due to the wealth of amenities, natural beauty and excellent schools on its doorstep. St. Ann's is located just off Killiney Hill Road and Saintbury Avenue, a short distance from Killiney village and amenities such as: the Killiney beach, Vico and Killiney swimming point and Dalkey Hill. Dalkey and Glasthule are nearby and offer a wide range of stores, gourmet restaurants and services, and the DART station on Strand Road is a short walk away.
There is a wide choice of schools nearby, including : Holy Child Killiney, Loreto Abbey Dalkey, Blackrock College, St. Andrew's and many more.
