This four bedroomed home dates from the days of ‘the good room’, when the single TV channel came on air in the afternoon, and kids scampered across garden walls between houses only coming home for their dinner (most likely stew). It’s a property that you would choose to feature in a mash-up of ‘Reeling in the Years’ and ‘Room to Improve’.
If the large footprint of the house doesn’t grab your attention, the amazing garden certainly will.
EXPLORE INSIDE
To encourage people to go and live in ‘the country’ the houses built in the suburbs during the 50’s and 60’s offered loads of space inside and out.
The front door is to the side and once inside, the hallway leads to a large sitting room to the front and a living room to the rear. Both are generous spaces, spanning the full width of the house. The kitchen is to the rear and, in the context of the space available, is modest. The dining room which was probably originally marketed as a ‘breakfast room’, a sun room, a garage, downstairs loo and storage room, make up the rest of the rear of the house. Undoubtedly the new owner would look for ways to reconfigure the space to something a little more modern (we’re seeing a large open living space, a kitchen island the size of a dance floor, loads of glass to let in the afternoon sun – you get the picture).
Upstairs there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Updating needed here too, and the possibility of squeezing in an ensuite is not out of the question.
EXPLORE OUTSIDE
It’s a main road and luckily the front drive can be used to turn a car around to exit.
The west facing rear garden is more than 100 ft long and backs onto the grounds of St. Mary’s RFC. Don’t miss the ‘secret garden’ through the trees at the end – what a paradise for kids!
The house is located close to Templeogue village, Terenure village, and Rathfarnham Shopping Centre, as well as having some smaller shops nearby in Orwell Shopping Centre. St Pius boys and girls schools, Templeogue College, Terenure College and Our Lady’s Girls school are all within easy walking or cycling distance.
THE BOTTOM LINE
This house has stories to tell, it has been home to one family since it was built. It stands ready to be become part of a new chapter with a new family. Could this be your forever home?
