Property Description

Osmunda is a very fine detached residence sitting proud on an elevated site off Torca Road backing onto Dalkey Quarry and to the front enjoying stunning coastal views over Dalkey Town, Dublin Bay over to Howth.

Accessed through automated wrought iron gates with generous car parking in the cobble lock forecourt. Osmunda is laid out over 3 three levels with an ensuite bedroom at entrance hall level and two external storage areas. On first floor you have the formal drawing room, kitchen/breakfast area, family room and two bedrooms one of which is ensuite. All the rooms to the front enjoy stunning unobstructed sea views with the kitchen/b fast enjoying a sunny south-west facing aspect over the rear garden.

Overhead the principle bedroom with box bay window, superb sea views, walk in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom and a fifth bedroom or study complete the accommodation.

The sunny south west-facing site measures 0.138a hectares and had the benefit of Full Planning Permission for a 3 storey detached contemporary residence of 192 sq. m to the side which recently lapsed in March 2023.

The gardens are wonderfully impressive with paved patio areas, tiered lawns and mature bedding plants, meandering pathways with inlaid railway sleepers all backing onto Dalkey Quarry. To the front is a spacious veranda enjoying access from the first floor.

Osmunda enjoys a most idyllic yet ultra-convenient location on Torca Road adjacent to the wonderful walks afforded by Killiney Hill, and the Cat s Ladder, a pedestrian right-of-way to Vico Road. It sits within striking distance of Dalkey Town with its bustling bars and gourmet restaurants, the DART, Bus Routes including Aircoach and a tremendous selection of majestic coastal and hill walks.

Viewing Highly Recommended.
