Description

Retaining its characteristic period exterior, this detached, two-storey 1970s era house has been comprehensively remodelled and extended to create an exceptionally spacious contemporary family home. Positioned on its own site that includes large gardens to front and rear, Rodings is one of just eight detached properties forming a secluded cul-de-sac within Castle Park, a mature residential neighbourhood conveniently close to both Monkstown village (800m) and Dun Laoghaire town centre (1.7km). At almost three times the size of an average semi-detached house, all rooms are well proportioned and exceptionally spacious, with a well-executed extension creating a light-filled open-plan kitchen-diner with adjoining family lounge at the centre of the home. This space seamlessly links with a courtyard style patio to provide a classic ‘room outside,’ which in turn leads on to a mature, lawned back garden bordered by well-tended trees, plants and shrubs. Downstairs accommodation also includes an exceptionally large living room spanning the full frontage of the house and overlooking the front garden. There’s also a bigger than average downstairs bedroom, which emphatically ticks the working-from-home box by being easily converted to a study or home office. Downstairs accommodation is completed by a utility room large enough to qualify as a kitchen in its own right, a bright entrance hall and a guest bathroom, one of three in the property that have been upgraded to as-new condition, including new fittings, tiling and sanitary ware. On the upper floor, a carpeted landing leads to the upgraded family bathroom and three upstairs bedrooms – two of these, including the main with upgraded ensuite bathroom, of larger than average size. Other features of note include oak flooring throughout most of the ground floor, a high spec fitted kitchen, tasteful décor and optimum use of large windows, in some cases combined with roof lights, to flood the home with natural light. Outside, the large front garden includes a long drive providing generous off-street parking, while to the rear a well-maintained and secluded back garden with no fewer than three patios is an ideal entertainment space, perfect for family gatherings, barbecues, or hosting friends on a warm evening. LOCATION The property is located in a secluded cul-de-sac of just eight detached homes, forming a quiet enclave within Castle Park, a mature residential neighbourhood within walking distance (800m) of Monkstown village with its vibrant array of gourmet restaurants, cafés and boutiques. Nearby sports and recreational amenities include Seapoint Beach, Monkstown DLR Pool and Fitness Centre, Monkstown Tennis Club, and Blackrock and Stradbrook Rugby Clubs. Castle Park is also within easy driving distance (1.7km) of Dun Laoghaire’s main street and close to the town’s many schools, shops, services and amenities. These include the Bloomfield Shopping Centre, Pavilion Theatre, IMC Cinema, Lexicon Library and Dun Laoghaire Shopping Centre, while the town is also home to a host of eateries, bars and coffee shops. Local attractions include the marina with its popular seafront walk, four sailing clubs, Sandycove Harbour, the James Joyce Museum, the National Maritime Museum and the People's Park with its popular Sunday food market. Other nearby village centres in the surrounding region include Blackrock (2.7km), Glasthule (2.4km), Dalkey (4.2km) and Stillorgan (4.1km), between them offering a rich variety of shopping, dining and leisure experiences. The area has an excellent choice of pre-school, primary and secondary schools, including Newpark Comprehensive, Scoil Lorcáin, CBC Monkstown, Blackrock College, St. Andrew’s College, Rockford Manor, Loreto Foxrock and Dalkey. Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT) is also a short bus ride away. Transport links are well catered for with nearby Salthill DART station on Monkstown seafront, the Aircoach service and the number 4, 7, 8 and 46a bus routes.
