Property Description

A charming stone cottage on a substantial site with excellent potential (SPP)
78 Old Kilgobbin Road is an attractive double-fronted, stone cottage-style residence which enjoys a superb position immediately adjacent to Sandyford Village. Full of character and charm, the property retains a number of attractive original features including an original stone fireplace, high ceilings and quarry-tiled flooring, while the accommodation extends to three bedrooms together with living, dining and kitchen areas.
A particularly notable feature of this property is the exceptionally generous garden which extends to the side and rear of the house. The overall site extends to approximately 0.10 hectares (just under 0.25 acre) and represents a rare opportunity to acquire such a substantial parcel of land in this highly sought-after and well-established location. The property is zoned Objective A under the current Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022–2028, which seeks “to provide residential development and improve residential amenity while protecting the existing residential amenities”. The substantial site therefore offers obvious potential for further development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.

The location is superb, being situated just moments from Sandyford Village with its excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday amenities. The wider Sandyford area offers an extensive range of facilities, including Dundrum Town Centre, Beacon South Quarter, local schools, parks and recreational amenities, while the Luas Green Line and excellent road connections provide easy access to Dublin city centre and beyond. The combination of a characterful existing residence, an unusually substantial site and an excellent location makes this a particularly interesting property for a wide range of purchasers.

The scale and configuration of the site, together with its Objective A zoning, create an interesting opportunity for future residential development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.
