The bones of this house are excellent, and the location, in a quiet cul-de-sac, is very attractive. There’s a definite ‘70s feel to some of the layout and décor, but the space is generous and the potential to update is enormous.
EXPLORE INSIDE
Downstairs there are three reception rooms, a kitchen and a guest WC. One of the reception rooms has been most recently used as a bedroom, but would make a fantastic play room/home office. The two main reception rooms are joined by double doors in the style of the time. The kitchen, which needs updating, is a reasonable size, we could easily imagine a new owner deciding to break through to the dining room to create a more family friendly space.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all in need of modernisation.
EXPLORE OUTSIDE
The outbuildings and garden need some attention but, again, the fabric is good and with a little imagination this will be a great space. There is off-street parking to the front.
The area is very settled and mature. There is a selection of schools in walking distance, as well as a fantastic library, and shops including a well-stocked SuperValu, butcher, fishmonger and the very popular foodie destination ‘Get Fresh’ (people come miles to stock up there, seriously!). Rathfarnham Shopping Centre is a 15 minute walk (or 5 minute drive) away and the villages of Rathfarnham and Templeogue are both a short spin away. The nearest bus is a five minute walk away, and will take you to Merrion Square via Terenure, Rathgar, Rathmines, City Centre and Pearse Street.
Sport has always been well catered for in the area – Ballyboden and Faughs GAA are both close, and two of Ireland’s top golfers grew up nearby and attended St.Enda’s boys secondary school.

A substantial house in a great area – this is definitely going to be a forever home for a family with roots to put down.
