Scalp Farm comprises a detached cut granite stone farmhouse dating from 1871, originally home to the Powerscourt Estate Manager. This unique home is set amongst approximately 10 Acres / 4 Hectares of grounds with stunning viewings across the Scalp Glacial Valley and Sugarloaf Mountain. The property further benefits from stunning stone outbuildings in a courtyard setting, stable block, barn and arena. An ideal home for the equestrian loving family.
This unique property is approached by granite pillared entrance with electric gates opening onto a sweeping tree-lined drive setting the tone for this stunning setting. The farmhouse comprises three bay two storey detached farmhouse of approx. 277sq.m. (2,982sq.ft.) and is set on a raised platform maximising the scenic vistas over the rolling grounds with the Dublin Mountains and Sugarloaf a picturesque backdrop in the distance.
The property has all the fine characteristics both externally and internally one would expect of a period residence of this era with internal accommodation comprising a porched entrance opening into a welcoming reception hall with sold timber floor and ornate coving with door to guest wc. To the left a living room with open fire has a bay window overlooking the patio to the front and arch opening a dining room to the rear with door to entrance hall. To the right of the entrance hall a family room with solid timber floor and dual aspect windows taking in views over the gardens and grounds, a door from here leads to a traditional style kitchen with centre island unit with breakfast bar seating and door to entrance hall, a breakfast room to the side has a picturesque view of the Sugarloaf Mountain. Off the kitchen is a utility room with access to rear. A study/bedroom completes the accommodation at this level. An attractive staircase leads to the first-floor level where there are five well-proportioned bedrooms all with views over the grounds and the main bedroom availing of ensuite shower room. A further shower room serves two adjoining bedrooms and a bathroom at the half landing completes internal accommodation.
To the rear of the property a stunning cut stone coach house looks onto Barnaslingan Lane, this coach house extends to approximately 182sq.m. (1,959sq. ft) and offers obvious vast potential for a variety of uses. A gate from the rear yard leads to the stable block which incorporates seven loose boxes and storeroom and in turn leads to a barn area extending to 171sq.m (1,840sq. ft) with vehicular access onto Barnaslingan Lane. A further gate from Barnaslingan Lane leads to the outdoor arena which can also be accessed from the Stable Block.
