Description
A wonderful, detached family home, located on one of South County Dublin's finest roads. 8 Silchester Road, originally built in the 1940s, has been lovingly maintained and cared for over the years and is turnkey ready as a dwelling if required. To the front is a large, cobble lock driveway providing off street parking for several cars, there is access here to the garage which is located to the side of the house and connects to the rear garden.
Internally the accommodation is light filled and extends to approximately 173sq.m. (1,862sq.ft.) (to include the garage). At the ground floor level an entrance porch opens through to the entrance hall with understairs storage. Off of the entrance hall you will find the dual aspect living room to the right-hand side and the dining room to the left. The kitchen and shower room are positioned at the far end of the entrance hall, both offering access to the garden at the rear of the property. The remaining living space to include four bedrooms, a bathroom and separate w.c. are positioned at the first-floor level.
The landscaped rear garden is a particular feature of this superb family home. It faces southwest and measures approximately 38m (125ft) in length and is an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Laid out in two circular lawns bordered by an abundance of mature shrubs, flowers and trees, the rear garden has a side passage connecting to the front and incorporates a wartime beehive bomb shelter. There is great scope to extend the house to the side and/or rear and convert the garage subject to the necessary planning permission, offering new owners a wonderful opportunity to put their own stamp on this fabulous family home.
The property is within walking distance of Dalkey and Dun Laoghaire where there is an excellent range of shops, restaurants, bars, banks and libraries. Close by is the charming harbour of Sandycove and the village of Glasthule, with its array of artisan shops. Glenageary DART station is a short walk away from Silchester Road, providing fast and convenient access to Dublin City centre. Several buses, including the No7, stop nearby. Also within easy reach are many schools and colleges, and several shopping centres. There is a wide selection of sporting and recreational amenities, including golf clubs, Glenageary Lawn Tennis Club, beautiful walks of Dalkey and Killiney Hills, as well as the four yacht clubs and extensive marina at Dun Laoghaire Harbour which will be of major interest to the marine and sailing enthusiast.
