Description
74 Patrick Street is a charming and attractive detached single-storey residence enjoying a highly convenient position close to the heart of Dún Laoghaire. Properties of this nature are increasingly difficult to find, particularly those combining a detached layout, manageable accommodation and a private rear garden within such easy reach of the town centre.
Internally, the accommodation is bright, comfortable and well arranged. The entrance hall leads to a pleasant living room to the front, centred around a feature stone fireplace with inset gas fire and complemented by a large picture window overlooking the front. An archway opens through to the kitchen/breakfast room, while two bedrooms and a shower room complete the accommodation.
While perfectly habitable in its present form, the property offers significant potential for an incoming purchaser to update and modernise the accommodation to suit their own requirements. Of particular interest, the property previously benefited from planning permission for a two-storey extension to the rear. That permission has now lapsed, but it serves to highlight the potential which the property may offer, subject of course to obtaining any necessary future planning permission.
The rear garden is another particularly appealing feature of the property. Enjoying an easterly/southeasterly orientation, it is principally laid out in lawn and bordered by mature hedging, creating a pleasant and private outdoor space. The raised lawn area with feature stone edging adds character, while the large garden shed provides useful additional storage.
The location is a major part of the appeal. Dún Laoghaire town centre is within easy walking distance and offers an excellent selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. The People's Park, DLR LexIcon and the neighbouring villages of Glasthule and Sandycove are also readily accessible.
Dún Laoghaire is particularly renowned for its exceptional coastal and marine amenities. The harbour, East and West Piers and attractive seafront are all close at hand, together with a wide range of sailing, boating and water-based activities. The area's yacht and sailing clubs, marina and extensive waterfront amenities make this an especially appealing location for those who enjoy the sea and outdoor pursuits.
For commuters, transport links are excellent, with Dún Laoghaire DART Station and a wide choice of bus services nearby, providing convenient access to Dublin city centre and surrounding areas. The combination of coastal living, marine and recreational amenities, excellent transport links and day-to-day convenience has long made Dún Laoghaire one of south Dublin's most sought-after residential locations.
No. 74 represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a quaint detached home with single-level accommodation, a sunny private garden and considerable potential, all within an exceptionally convenient setting close to everything Dún Laoghaire has to offer..... Accommodation
