Description
Cragleigh represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached residence occupying a magnificent mature site of approximately half of an acre on the highly regarded Leopardstown Road. Set behind a stone wall frontage with pillared entrance and wrought iron gates, the property enjoys an elevated setting with extensive lawns, mature trees and exceptional privacy in one of South Dublin's most convenient and established residential locations.
Built in 1958, this distinctive family home extends to approximately 183 sq.m. / 1,970 sq.ft. and offers generously proportioned accommodation including five bedrooms and a number of impressive reception rooms. The property's attractive architectural style, featuring a distinctive roof profile, large picture windows and bright, well-balanced accommodation, provides an excellent foundation for refurbishment, extension or complete reimagining to suit modern family requirements.
Occupying a prominent position along Leopardstown Road, Cragleigh is surrounded by a mix of established homes and more recent residential developments. The adjoining Fernhill Gate development demonstrates the continued demand for quality residential accommodation within this highly accessible location. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, the substantial site may offer future development potential and will undoubtedly appeal to purchasers seeking a long-term investment opportunity.
The location is second to none, enjoying immediate access to Sandyford Village, Dundrum Town Centre, Sandyford Business District, Leopardstown Racecourse and a host of recreational amenities. Excellent transport links include nearby Luas services, the M50 motorway, N11 and Dublin City Centre, while a wide selection of schools, shopping facilities and leisure amenities are all within easy reach.

Cragleigh is approached through wrought iron entrance gates set between stone pillars opening onto a sweeping driveway providing extensive off-street parking. The residence occupies an elevated position above road level and is fronted by an attractive paved terrace together with extensive lawned gardens bordered by mature trees and established planting.
A vehicular side entrance provides access to the rear of the property where there is a large concrete storage shed (c.14mt.sq. with potential to incorporate with existing bedrooms to provide en-suite bathroom accommodation) together with further garden areas. The rear garden is laid predominantly in lawn with patio areas, mature trees and established hedgerows providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The site enjoys excellent proportions and is not directly overlooked to the rear, further enhancing its appeal for both owner-occupiers and those considering its long-term potential.
