Description

** Open Viewing Saturday, 23rd August 11.15am - 12pm. ** Superb refurbishment opportunity. This 1950's detached house enjoys a traffic-free setting on this desirable tree-lined cul de sac quietly tucked away off the N11. Built c. 1950 the property is gated, extends to approximately 234 sq m (2,518 sq ft) and offers significant scope to be modernised and extended to create a fine new generation trophy home. Alternatively the sizeable site (approx. 0.35 acres) could be entirely redeveloped (subject to planning permission) to create something entirely bespoke. Enjoying the luxury of space that was the norm of its time the house enjoys separate entrance gates for entrance and exit. A spacious driveway defines the front lawn and offers plenty of space for parking cars. In addition there is a large side entrance to one side of approx. 3.75m. Monterey Cypress trees provide privacy with helleborus roses and hydrangea providing a splash of colour. An open porch with ceramic tiled floor provides shelter to the front door. The hall door opens to a bright entrance hall off which is located the guest toilet. There is a large dual aspect L-shaped family room with maple floor which opens to the dining room. A door from here leads to the kitchen. To the other side of the hall is the living room which opens to a large reception room with timber beamed ceiling. This extended part of the house would suit a variety of uses to include gym, entertainment room or simply a large family room for growing teenagers. The kitchen is located to the back of the house with door at the side to the garden. A custom staircase with oak hand rail curves its way to the first floor giving a distinctly art deco vibe. On the first floor there are five bedroom (main ensuite) and a family bathroom. The grounds of Rockton are a particularly appealing feature of the property given its wide site and quiet setting. The gardens are tranquil and exceptionally quiet laid out with a mixture of lawn, mature trees and shrubbery. The rear garden is split level with seven gentle steps separating the top lawn from the bottom. The well-established trees include Monterey Cypress and apple trees providing interest and privacy. To one side of the house there are a number of sheds for garden paraphernalia along with the oil tank and boiler house. To the other side the side entrance is wide extending to approx. 3.75m. LOCATION This conveniently positioned tree-lined cul-de-sac of detached homes is close to the charming village of Foxrock and nearby shops at The Magic Carpet Centre, Cornelscourt Village positioned just off the N11. Enjoying a selection of popular eateries, restaurants and specialist food shops serving this upmarket suburb. For more extensive shopping facilities Dunnes Stores at Cornelscourt and the Park Retail Centre are close by. Foxrock Golf Club and Carrickmines Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club as well as Cabinteely Park with its 110 acres of parkland and large children's playground are also nearby.
