Property Description

Nestled on a quiet one-way road on the periphery of Dun Laoghaire, this delightful detached bungalow occupies a wide site in a tranquil and highly sought-after residential location. Dating from the 1930s, the property immediately captivates with its charming façade and original character, offering a wonderful sense of arrival from the street. Set well back from the road, the generous frontage could provide extensive off-street parking—an increasingly rare and valuable feature in this popular neighbourhood.

The wide plot allows access on both sides of the bungalow, enhancing the sense of space and providing excellent scope for future extension or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The exceptional width of the site is a particularly noteworthy feature, distinguishing it from many neighbouring properties and creating a wealth of possibilities for future owners. Beyond its appeal as a substantial family home, the site's dimensions may offer longer-term development potential, with scope for additional residential accommodation, subject to the requisite planning consents. Purchasers will immediately appreciate the rarity and value of such a generously proportioned plot in this mature and highly convenient location.
To the rear, the property enjoys a coveted south-facing aspect, ensuring sunlight throughout the day and creating the perfect setting for a beautifully landscaped garden.
The rear garden itself is a elevated and private, it offers a wonderful feeling of seclusion, while mature hedgerows provide a natural backdrop. Indeed, the property's boundaries extend beyond what is immediately apparent, with sections currently obscured by established hedgerow growth.

While the bungalow would benefit from refurbishment, it presents a rare opportunity to create a truly exceptional home in a prime location. Many original features remain, providing an attractive foundation for sympathetic restoration and contemporary enhancement. The character and proportions of the original dwelling offer tremendous scope for those wishing to blend period charm with modern living.
Adding further appeal are the substantial garage and outdoor workshop buildings, which offer excellent storage and significant potential for conversion to a home office, studio, gym, guest accommodation or a variety of other uses, subject to any required planning consents. The garage also benefits from independent access via the side lane, providing a level of flexibility rarely found in properties of this type.
Combining a charming period bungalow, wide south-facing site, extensive parking, valuable ancillary buildings, future development potential and a peaceful setting close to the amenities of Dun Laoghaire, this is a property of immense character and exceptional opportunity. A home waiting to be reimagined, restored and enjoyed for generations to come.
