Property Description

DNG Greystones proudly presents The Grove, Portland Road to the market, a truly captivating residence of enduring character and distinction.
Dating from circa 1928, The Grove occupies an enviable position along a quiet and highly regarded thoroughfare within the prestigious Burnaby Estate, Ireland’s first planned residential development, conceived in the 1890s by the pioneering Elizabeth Hawkins-Whitshed. Steeped in history and influenced by the graceful proportions of the Edwardian era and the craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts movement, this exceptional home exudes timeless elegance, warmth, and a rare sense of tranquillity.
Set amidst wonderfully private, mature grounds, The Grove offers an idyllic retreat while remaining within effortless reach of all that Greystones has to offer. The vibrant village centre, with its charming boutiques, cafés, and restaurants, lies just 850 metres away, while the ever-popular Cove, perfect for invigorating morning swims, is a mere 1.4 kilometres from the doorstep. Renowned for its outstanding quality of life, Greystones continues to rank among Ireland’s most desirable coastal towns, offering an exceptional blend of seaside beauty, community spirit, and modern convenience.
Families are particularly well catered for, with an selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools all within easy walking or cycling distance. For commuters, the DART provides a seamless connection to Dublin City Centre, reaching Pearse Street in approximately 57 minutes. A wealth of sporting and leisure amenities, from golf and sailing to GAA, rugby, and scenic coastal walks, ensures an active and fulfilling lifestyle for all ages.
Internally, the accommodation is both generous and beautifully proportioned, extending to approximately 191 sq. m. A gracious entrance hall, complete with solid timber flooring, sets the tone upon arrival. At the heart of the home lies an elegant living room, bathed in natural light and opening directly onto the south-facing rear garden, a perfect space for both relaxation and entertaining, enhanced by a charming open fireplace.
The kitchen forms the true hub of the home, seamlessly connected to a conservatory, home office, and utility room, creating a practical yet inviting family space. A formal dining room, featuring a bay window overlooking the garden, solid timber flooring, and its own open fireplace, offers a refined setting for gatherings and special occasions. A further reception room, with dual aspect and a solid fuel stove, provides a versatile and light-filled retreat, ideal as a family room or playroom.
The ground floor also accommodates a generously sized double bedroom with garden views and a family bathroom. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms complete the accommodation, including a well-appointed en-suite.
The gardens at The Grove are, without doubt, a defining feature. Extending to just under half an acre, they offer an exceptional sense of privacy and serenity. The front garden is approached via electric gates and a sweeping gravel driveway, providing ample off-street parking and framed by mature hedging, trees, and manicured lawns.
To the rear, the magnificent south-facing garden is a sun-drenched haven, thoughtfully landscaped with expansive lawns, mature trees, and a delightful cobble-locked patio, a perfect setting for al fresco dining or quiet reflection. A selection of mature fruit trees, a children’s play area, and raised beds for homegrown produce further enhance the appeal. The gardens envelop the property on all sides and present significant scope for extension, subject to planning permission, in line with neighbouring homes.
The Grove represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of true character and substance in one of Greystones’ most sought-after settings. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, privacy, and exceptional potential this distinguished property has to offer.
