College Square - Terenure, Wainsfort Manor Drive, Dublin 6W

Description

A sense of Arrival

For some, a time comes when finding a new house is just not enough. It’s time to find the perfect home. Your senses tell you. And when they do, College Square, Terenure awaits you. College Square is a rarely available parkland development of stately houses and apartments situated just four miles south of the centre of Dublin, in one of the city’s most sought-after residential quarters. Here in the “Land of the Yew” – in leafy streets of elegant Victorian and Edwardian houses – young families and more established residents live alongside professionals… and poets. For Terenure was the birthplace of Ireland’s most famous writer, James Joyce, who was baptised in the local church. It was also the home of the poet Austin Clarke and the celebrated artist, Fr Jack Hanlon. With acres of leafy open spaces a walk away – and the gently rolling Dublin mountains and sandy beaches of the coast so close by – it’s easy to imagine where they got their inspiration.

A sense of Proportion

At College Square the classical elements of Victorian and Edwardian architecture are skillfully combined with contemporary design. The result is flexible and adaptable luxury homes, satisfying both urban needs and rural aspirations. Traditional red brick under blue slate roofs, contrasts with cool cream render, whilst elegant Portland Stone window reveals and pediments confirm the quality of the craftsmanship.

A sense of Refinement

Aequence of flowing interconnected space – living room to dining room to sunroom – linked by doors of grand proportions, present subtly framed views. Each room, a place to relax and enjoy the nuances of style and sophistication. Lighting, more than just for illumination – for theatrical effect. Materials and finishes simple yet seductive, exotic marble and granite… limed oak and etched glass. At College Square you don’t just sense refinement, you see it everywhere.In the living room, the focus at least in winter, not that electric substitute, the television – but the ancient and eternally fascinating element, fire. Eyes are magnetised by its movement and bodies are drawn to its warmth. Mellow light and a favourite sofa – an open invitation to sit with a good book.

A sense of Occasion

The kitchen at College Square – simple interior architecture with wall sized windows bringing the garden and light within. Warm sandstone floors contrast beautifully with mellow oak cabinets, rich colours, and clear forms. Fittings simple and solid, the most modern of appliances – nothing left out. A structured environment, giving a sense of occasion to the simple art of cooking.

A sense of Calm

More than a simple room for sleep, the principal bedroom at College Square – an inner sanctuary, calm cushioning from the world behind. A dreaming room, dressing room, living room, bathing room. An indulgence of space, a home within a home. And a dream to wake up in.

A sense of Harmony

A classic roll-top bath – with a modern twist: free standing – asserting its dominance to maximum effect. Washstand of oak supporting a crisp stone top – strong symmetry and echoes of a grander era. Taps and fittings – sculptures in steel, designed to be seen and enjoyed. Glass mosaic walls, honed slate floors and marble walls – an exotic palette of materials, the height of luxury.

A sense of Achievement

For education, as the name suggests, College Square is at the centre of learning. With five of Dublin’s finest schools within each reach. From here you can walk to Terenure College with its academic tradition dating back to 1860. Offering both junior and senior secondary education, with emphasis on both study and sport. Nearby too are St Mary’s College and St Joseph’s National school, Our Lady’s school in Bushy Park and Tempelogue College in the nearby village. So to live at College Square is to enjoy a sense of achievement. Secure in the knowledge that for learning, lifestyle and location – you live at Dublin’s finest residential address.

A sense of Belonging

Next to the heart of Terenure Village, yet minutes away from Dublin city centre – College Square offers everything a person could ask for, the visceral pleasures of cosmopolitan life, balanced by the tranquillity of the verdant setting. And no development as sophisticated as College Square would be complete without its own private health spa, a contemporary sanctuary in which to rejuvenate and revitalise. But there’s more. By moving to College Square, you will be joining a very special, close-knit community. Along with discovering new friends, places and experiences – you will also be enjoying something else. A sense of belonging – many people see a great sense in that.
