Description

Allston, on Monkstown’s Knapton Road (Named after the American painter and poet Washington Allston) has been sympathetically extended to the point that you find it difficult to tell old from new. The original part, built in the 1920s, is a full-on Arts and Crafts-era space, complete with beamed ceilings and wooden panelling. But step beyond the entrance hall to find a bright modern extension, added by the current owners. This adds another bedroom, making for four generous doubles (two en-suite), and gives an overall 3,000 ft2 of accommodation. Outside, the sunny stone patio leads to lawns and well-kept mature planting, and there is ample space for a Shomera den/office. There is a separate greenhouse. Lovely as all this is, however, the commanding feature is the slender granite tower, sited in the grounds of neighbouring CBC Monkstown, giving your sundowners a romantic, timeless feel. It was erected at the behest of 19th century social reformer Charles Halliday. Back inside there’s a spacious ‘country style' kitchen that leads on to a large breakfast room, and through to a dining room and drawing room. There is also a cosy family living room. This would make a great place to raise a family. Knapton Road is walking distance to the Dart, schools, shops and all the amenities of Monkstown, Dún Laoghaire and the surrounding area. The property location is second to none, with both Monkstown and Blackrock Villages within walking distance. Both villages offer a large array of eateries, bars, boutique and speciality shops. Dun Laoghaire is also nearby offering further attractions such as the harbour, marina with yacht clubs and coastal walks. The area is extremely well serviced by public transport including bus and DART.
