DARTRY, DUBLIN 6
TEMPLE ROAD
Temple Road retains all the dignity and relaxed pace of a more graceful bygone period. In a district celebrated for its superbly designed streets and properties, the charming tree-lined ambience of Temple Road with its elegant proportions designed for gracious living has a special character and atmosphere all of its own. The jewel in the crown of this exceptional address is Manorglen Homes s exclusive development of five newly built detached houses standing on manicured landscaped gardens. Manorglen Properties Limited is led by CEO Johnny Burns whose family tradition in the building industry stretches back over 150 years. The Burns name is synonymous with exceptional standards in building as demonstrated in their multiple award winning projects. The Burns family and their associated companies have successfully completed over 450 projects to date. Some of the most notable projects include the luxury residential development comprising 75 apartments at Shrewsbury Square, Ardoyne House on Clyde Lane and The Embassy of the United States of America in Ballsbridge. Other important projects include the conservation projects at Clongowes Wood College and Castleknock College. Other high quality bespoke residential developments include luxury housing at 5 College Road and 63-69 Beechpark Avenue, Castleknock. Manorglen is continuing on a tradition of excellence. This Dartry site incorporates only five houses, and all are rich in architectural merit. Each house has its own story and historical influences. Designs are influenced by the Victorian and Edwardian era and the Arts and Crafts tradition. All houses in the development have an A2 or A3 BER energy rating. The attention to detail in the internal and external design, and in the construction implementation, is exemplified by the exquisite finishes and hand-crafted quality materials. The manicured mature grounds are landscaped to exceptional standards, superbly planted with generous patios and lawns, giving residents the privacy only a well-designed property can provide. The area on which Temple Road was built was originally owned by Henry John Temple, the third Viscount Palmerston who left them to his step-son William Cowper Temple, first Baron Mount Temple. They were subsequently built upon with the roads named in honour of Temple, Palmerston and Cowper. These five homes are now sure to create their own legacy.

A full Miele appliances pack is available from our chosen appliances partner. FORMAL DINING ROOM The formal dining room has an Accessco automated dumb waiter lift that effortlessly transfers trays to the kitchen (The dumb waiter is in four of the five houses apart from Avanti which has no requirement as the kitchen and formal dining are on the same level). INTERNAL DOORS Bespoke period joinery with painted panel doors are integrated with beautiful ironmongery and handles. Internal doors are painted panel bespoke joinery doors in four of the five houses, with walnut doors in Avanti only. BATHROOMS AND ENSUITES Sumptuous fitted bathrooms and ensuites are in a luxurious combination of grey blue limestone, crème marbles, travertine and Carrara marble natural stone slabs. Wet-room walk-in showers are included, with pressurised water supply to all showers and taps. Heated towel rails are also incorporated.

Our high standards ensure Temple Road properties provide energy efficiency levels that are far in advance of the average home. We deliver more comfort with lower energy usage. A Greywater system is installed in each house for environmental sustainability. WINDOWS Windows are by Carlson, a premium luxury brand with market-leading thermal and acoustic standards. These windows are elegant and durable. They are designed to complement the overall period design, and the light-filled living spaces. They are also hand-finished by skilled craftsmen. The windows are painted in a pearl colour. Our Carlson high-performance A-rated double-glazed windows and doors come with argon-filled, warm-edged technology and low-emissivity glass, resulting in top insulation values. The timber windows and doors are also factory-coated using the latest in microporous opaque paint systems.
EXTERNAL SERVICES ENCLOSURE AND PRESSURISED WATER The internal water supply is pressurised, and both the pump and the tank are located in a specially designed enclosure outside the house, externalising any associated noises. This feature also saves space inside the house. Maintenance service work can be carried out outside the house. It is future-proofed and well thought out and installed. HEATING The houses are built with an extremely high degree of insulation throughout walls, roofs and floors. The first floors are also made of solid concrete for excellent durability, as well as thermal and acoustic performance. An underfloor heating system is installed throughout the entire floor area no radiators result in more flexible room layouts. Each room has its own zoned precision controls for ease of use and cost-efficiency. Every house is fitted with a highperformance air to water heat pump, which is environmentally friendly and cost efficient for the end user. The logic is that the heat pump extracts energy from the ambient air and uses electricity to compress it to a higher temperature, which it then delivers into the house. The units in Temple Road use approximately one unit of electricity to deliver four units of heat into the house. This amounts to very efficient electricity usage, and contributes to the renewable qualities of each dwelling. Thermal Mass is used for passive heat-storage. High performance pipe insulation is used to reduce heat loss. A further enhancement is the provision of photovoltaic panels on the roof that generate electricity from the sunlight. This is streamed with the house s electrical supply but will offset demand from the grid. Manorglen has invested in these systems, so the running costs will be minimal for the end user in the long run. VENTILATION SYSTEM The Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system supplies a steady stream of fresh air, and reduces dust and condensation while recycling 90% of the heat energy from the air expelled from the house. This is used to heat the incoming fresh air, which creates significant savings on heating costs. The excellent air-tightness details employed at Temple Road works with the HRV to retain heat, minimising heat loss and reducing exposure to external elements. ELECTRICAL Multiple quality electrical sockets and energy-efficient lighting points are provided in each room. Mains-powered smoke detector alarms are fitted in the kitchen, hall and each bedroom. Many carbon monoxide alarms are also fitted in each house. Outside, there are feature and mood lighting points throughout the gardens. PARKING & SECURITY Security and privacy has been carefully provided for at Manorglen s Temple Road houses. Each home has its own private drive with generous car parking space.
