Situated on the seafront at Coliemore Road and only a couple of minutes' walk from the heart of Dalkey Town, this premier property provides wonderful and ever-changing views that are hard to beat. The panoramic outlook across Dublin Bay to Howth, and the Bailey lighthouse, over Dalkey Sound, the Muglin's and Dalkey Island.
