Every so often, a property comes to the market that truly defies comparison, and ‘The Bunker’ is one such home. Sherry FitzGerald are delighted to present this exceptional architect-designed residence set on approximately 0.5 acres and extending to approximately 400 sq.m / 4,305 sq.ft. Thoughtfully conceived to maximise natural light, space and privacy, this remarkable home combines striking contemporary architecture with outstanding versatility and comfort.
Behind its understated façade lies a home of extraordinary scale and design. The original cottage frontage conceals a dramatic contemporary residence that unfolds beyond, offering a truly unique living experience. The property has been intelligently configured to cater for modern family life and entertaining alike, boasting four bathrooms, three en-suite bedrooms, wet rooms, walk-in wardrobes, a cinema room and a variety of outdoor entertaining spaces including sun terraces and dining areas.
Approached via a gravel driveway providing parking for up to eight cars and a covered carport, the property immediately sets itself apart. To the rear, expansive split-level timber decking overlooks beautifully landscaped gardens and unspoiled views across the surrounding countryside. An intimate internal courtyard provides an additional private outdoor retreat and can be accessed from both the side entrance and one of the ground-floor bedrooms.
The original cottage accommodation provides a welcoming introduction to the home and comprises a living room with original open fireplace, a bedroom and a bathroom. From here, a striking glass corridor leads to the contemporary section of the property, where an internal courtyard allows natural light to flood the interior. Large-format Italian porcelain floor tiles guide you through the home, creating a seamless connection between the various living spaces.
A dramatic double-height landing forms the centrepiece of the property, illuminated by six large Velux windows that bathe the interior in natural light throughout the day. The porcelain flooring continues down an impressive staircase to the lower level, where a spacious hallway leads to a wine room and two generous double bedrooms, both benefitting from luxurious bathroom facilities and direct access to the sun terraces and gardens beyond.
The upper floor is dedicated to the principal living accommodation and offers an abundance of character and architectural flair. Soaring ceilings and extensive glazing create a wonderful sense of openness throughout. The kitchen and dining area is framed by floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides, drawing the surrounding landscape into the home while filling the space with natural light. Connected yet distinct, the living room features a striking curved vaulted ceiling, a wood-burning stove and extensive glazing that captures panoramic views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. Large sliding doors open fully, seamlessly linking the indoors with the outdoor terraces.
Completing the accommodation on this level are a spacious bedroom, a stylish family bathroom, a well-appointed laundry room and a substantial cinema room, providing the perfect space for relaxation and entertainment.
The outdoor spaces are every bit as impressive as the interior. Multiple levels of decking wrap around the home and have been carefully positioned to capture sunlight throughout the day. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, an afternoon in the sun or evening dining with friends and family, the various terraces offer a choice of settings from which to appreciate the peaceful surroundings.
Ideally located on the Clonee Road, close to Lucan, The Bunker offers a rare combination of rural tranquillity and urban convenience. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is within easy reach of Lucan Village and its wide array of shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and local amenities. The Royal Canal is just minutes away and offers scenic walking and cycling routes towards both Castleknock and Maynooth.
The convenience of the location cannot be overstated.

A fine selection of highly regarded schools, including St. Mary's Parish School, The King's Hospital, Mount Sackville and Castleknock College, are nearby.
