Description

OPEN VIEW SATURDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER 10AM TO 10:30AM Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to present No. 18 Knocklyon Heights, a truly exceptional detached bungalow tucked away at the end of a quiet, traffic-free cul-de-sac. This very special home is set on a magnificent plot measuring approximately 0.32 of an acre, offering complete seclusion and tranquillity in a mature and much sought-after location. From the moment you arrive, it is clear that this is no ordinary property. Set behind a fully walled boundary, the expansive front garden features a sweeping driveway flanked by generous lawns and an array of mature trees, flowering plants and shrubs. As they sway gently in the breeze, they create a peaceful, almost musical ambience. Dappled light filters through the foliage, casting beautiful flickers of sunlight across the garden and into the home itself, giving it a magical quality throughout the day. The site was originally purchased by the current owners, who carefully designed and built this family home with great thought and care. It has remained in the same family ever since and offers an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind home in a truly outstanding setting. The internal accommodation is generously proportioned and briefly comprises a large and welcoming entrance hall, which includes attic access to an unusually spacious attic, offering fantastic potential for conversion (subject to planning permission). To the front of the house are two sizeable reception rooms on either side of the hallway, each filled with natural light and overlooking the front garden. The kitchen is located to the rear and enjoys views over the exceptional rear garden, as do all four bedrooms, offering a tranquil and picturesque backdrop. The rear garden is a true haven. With rolling lawn, richly planted borders, and an abundance of mature trees, it feels like a private parkland. A large patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while a meandering path at the very end of the garden leads you on a secret stroll around its perimeter. The southerly orientation ensures sunlight from morning through to evening, and beyond the sylvan outlook, the majestic Dublin Mountains rise in the distance, offering a breathtaking backdrop throughout the seasons. The location is second to none. Knocklyon Heights is a well-established and highly regarded neighbourhood, with pedestrian walkways through old Knocklyon offering easy access to a host of local amenities including SuperValu, St. Colmcille's Church, the community centre and national school, Ballyboden St. Enda's GAA Club, Delaney's Pub and the local Scouts Den. A little further afield are Rathfarnham Shopping Centre, Dundrum Town Centre, and a range of excellent secondary schools including Terenure College and Our Lady's Secondary School. For those who enjoy the outdoors, scenic mountain walks are within easy reach, as are numerous parks and sporting facilities. Commuters are also well catered for, with regular bus services to include the 15, S6, S8, 49 and 65. These bus routes take you to numerous destinations to include the city centre, Tallaght Hospital, the Square shopping centre, DCU, Dundrum, and Dun Laoghaire. Direct access to the M50, and Dublin Airport approximately 20 minutes by car. The city centre is just 10 kilometres away. No. 18 is a well cared for home that offers comfort and space yet still offers discerning buyers an exciting opportunity to put their own stamp on it along with ample future extension or conversion possibilities and reimagine this much-loved family home. The setting and site offer endless potential to create a truly extraordinary residence in a quiet and convenient location. Viewing is highly recommended.
