Description
Nestled in the leafy heart of Churchtown, 31 Whitebarn Road is a lovingly maintained semi-detached dormer bungalow that embodies both charm and maturity. The location is truly exceptional—just a short stroll from Churchtown Village shops, SuperValu, and an array of local cafés, with Nutgrove Shopping Centre and Dundrum Town Centre only minutes away. Excellent schools, sports clubs, and the LUAS at Windy Arbour and Dundrum ensure seamless access across Dublin.
Lovingly cared for over the years, the property now awaits a new owner with vision—retaining delightful original features and a solid standard of maintenance, while offering superb potential for tasteful modernisation.
The generous, sunny south-facing rear garden is a particular highlight—bathed in light, highly private, and offering ample room for extension or landscaping (subject to planning permission). Measuring approximately 65 ft (20 m) in length, it includes a spacious paved patio, level lawn, mature hedging, and a concrete-built storage shed.
Inside, hardwood floors lead from the inviting entrance hallway to a wonderfully proportioned living/family room, where a large picture window frames the garden and a stately cast-iron fireplace with ornate tiled inset and hearth lends warmth and character. An adjoining dining area, also floored in hardwood and complete with a tiled fireplace and bay window, steps seamlessly into a traditional-style fitted kitchen with quarry-tiled floors, pantry access, and direct access to the garden.
While predominantly a bungalow, the property also benefits from a converted dormer/attic space—a versatile room with built-in shelving and excellent eaves storage—ideal as a study, playroom, or hobby area.
With its blend of character, well-proportioned rooms, prime location, and sun-filled outdoor space, this home presents a rare opportunity for a discerning buyer to put down roots in one of Churchtown's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Accommodation
