Property Description

This property offers a rare and exciting opportunity to redevelop - subject to planning permission - a substantial site with a derelict bungalow, ideally located on Commons Road in Loughlinstown, South Dublin.
Set on a generous plot of approximately 860 square metres (0.086 hectares), the site enjoys a private, south-west facing aspect and is zoned under Objective A, which supports residential development and the enhancement of residential amenities while protecting the character of the surrounding area. The existing bungalow, dating back to circa 1956, is currently uninhabitable and unsafe for access, but it previously comprised four rooms, including two bedrooms, with a footprint of approximately 65 square metres (700 square feet). Additional structures include an external WC and a garage. A long, 47-metre (155-foot) driveway—accessed via electronic gates—leads to the property and also serves as a right of way for the neighbouring residence, Stella Maris. The overgrown gardens measure approximately 33 by 26 metres. The site is registered under Folio DN 8156 and includes three maps, one of which outlines the access right-of-way.
A recessed area in the northwest corner (approx. 4m x 3m) is excluded from the sale. The land gently slopes from an elevation of 9.4 metres at the entrance to 15.5 metres at the rear boundary adjoining Seaview Lawn.

The location is one of the property’s most compelling features. Commons Road connects directly to the N11 dual carriageway, offering swift access to Dublin city centre, just 10 kilometres away. The site is situated on a thoroughfare almost opposite St. Columcille Hospital and across from the Loughlinstown Pitch & Putt Course, with the rear boundary backing onto a green open space at Seaview Lawn in Shankill. The surrounding area is well-established and residential in character, with excellent public transport links, schools, shops, and leisure amenities.
Importantly, the property is just minutes from Killiney, one of South Dublin’s most scenic and sought-after coastal locations. Killiney is renowned for its dramatic coastline, beautiful beaches, and the iconic Killiney Hill Park, which offers panoramic views over Dublin Bay and the Wicklow Mountains. This area is designated as one of outstanding natural beauty, combining tranquil seaside charm with proximity to urban convenience. The opportunity to build a new home (subject to planning permission) so close to Killiney’s natural splendour—while enjoying the privacy and potential of a generous site—makes this offering truly exceptional
