Description
A COASTAL GEM IN THE HEART OF DALKEY VILLAGE
Tucked into the historic and highly desirable Coliemore Road, Rockbrook Cottage is a beautifully restored fisherman's cottage dating back to circa 1875. Bursting with character and charm, this unique home blends period features with modern comfort, offering a rare opportunity to live just a stone's throw from the sea and the vibrant heart of Dalkey Village.
Painstakingly and sympathetically restored by its current owner, the cottage retains original features such as a traditional half door, reclaimed timber flooring, whitewashed stone walls, twin sash windows, and exposed rafters — all adding to its irresistible cottage appeal.
Beyond its quaint façade, the property unfolds into a surprisingly spacious and light-filled interior of approx. 50 sq.m (538 sq.ft), designed for both relaxation and stylish modern living.
