Description
Positioned proudly on the elevated southern side of Dalkey Avenue, Benbullen is a charming, detached bungalow constructed in the 1970s. Standing on approximately 0.3 acres of beautifully maintained gardens rich with mature planting and vibrant shrubbery, this fine residence enjoys sweeping panoramic views over Dun Laoghaire Harbour and Dublin Bay to Howth, a truly exceptional outlook.
This light-filled home is thoughtfully laid out to maximise both comfort and functionality. Beyond the welcoming porch entrance lies a spacious reception hall, which effortlessly connects to the large dual aspect living/dining room, the perfect space for all the family to relax or entertain while taking in those spectacular sea views through a large picture window. A kitchen/breakfast room complements the living space, while four generously sized double bedrooms, the main bedroom benefitting from an en-suite, and a family bathroom complete the internal layout. A detached double garage to the front provides excellent additional storage.
Benbullen enjoys an enviable location in the heart of Dalkey, one of South County Dublin's most desirable coastal suburbs. It is surrounded by a host of renowned primary and secondary schools including Castle Park, Loreto Dalkey, The Harold, and Rathdown Co-Ed.
Transport links are excellent, with Dalkey DART station just a short distance away, along with regular Dublin Bus services (routes 59 and 111) ensuring quick and easy access to the city centre and beyond.
Recreational opportunities abound with scenic walking routes such as The Metals, Dalkey and Killiney Hills adjacent, and the nearby seafront promenade. Leisure facilities include Fitzpatrick's Castle Hotel with its pool and gym, Cuala GAA/Dalkey United grounds, Sandycove Tennis Club, and more.
Dalkey Village is just a minutes' away and renowned for its boutique shops, cafes, artisan delicatessens, welcoming pubs, and award-winning restaurants. For maritime enthusiasts, nearby Bullock and Coliemore Harbours, along with the four yacht clubs and marina at Dun Laoghaire, offer a vibrant hub of marine activity.
Benbullen presents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached home in an exclusive location with unrivalled views, mature gardens, and immense potential, subject to planning permission. It is ideal for those seeking a peaceful yet well-connected coastal lifestyle in the heart of Dalkey. Accommodation
