In the natural cycle of property ownership areas such College Park see significant regeneration happening in a relatively short timeframe as new families arrive and homes are given a new lease of life. A number of properties that have come to the market in this area have presented the challenge and opportunity of refurbishment and reimagination and have been brought back to their former glory by new owners. 65 College Park is largely unchanged from the original build in terms of its footprint and is in need of modernisation. There is, however, massive potential to develop and reconfigure as a modern, attractive, energy-efficient, family home.
EXPLORE INSIDE
The hallway includes a downstairs WC and under stair storage. To the right is the living room with fireplace, and double doors leading to the dining room. A French door leads out from the dining room to the large, south facing rear garden. The kitchen, accessed both from the hall and the dining room, has an outside door leading to the garden and giving access to the garage and outbuildings.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom.
There are endless possibilities in terms of how this property might be developed. For a new owner who does not need four bedrooms, the possibility of an ensuite and walk in wardrobe from the master bedroom could be investigated. The extensive garden offers the potential to extend (subject to pp); many homes in the immediate vicinity have considerably modernised with relatively modest additions.
EXPLORE OUTSIDE
There is parking off-street for two cars, and rear access to the side via the garage. The back garden is long, private and sunny and is undoubtedly a standout feature of this property.
The location is superb. Close to a selection of primary and secondary schools, including Pius X National, St. Joseph’s National, Terenure College, Templeogue College and Our Ladies girls secondary. Bushy Park, with the myriad of facilities it offers, is a short walk away, as is Rathfarnham Shopping Centre. Both Templeogue and Terenure villages can be comfortably reached on foot, and there are good bus services available for longer trips. Access to the M50 can be achieved in a short few minutes’ drive.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Yes, this property is, undoubtedly, a project. Canny home buyers know that a house in the right area that needs work is, in the long term, a better find than an inconveniently located, perfectly finished, home.
Southerly facing rear garden extending c. 80ft
