Eastwood (and 4-bed Gate Lodge) on c.1.2acres, Ballinteer Road, Dundrum, Dublin 16, D16W2F3

KELLY BRADSHAW proudly presents Eastwood, Ballinteer Road, Dundrum, Dublin 16, an exceptional Victorian residence of distinction set on approximately 1.2 acres of mature private grounds, complete with a substantial detached gate lodge and enjoying an enviable position moments from Dundrum Town Centre and the Luas. Eastwood represents an exceptional residential development opportunity in a location where comparable planning consent has already been demonstrated. The site is zoned Objective A under the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028: "To provide residential development and improve residential amenity while protecting the existing residential amenities." Approached through private gates and along a sweeping, tree-lined driveway, Eastwood reveals itself as a hidden sanctuary in one of South Dublin’s most established residential settings. Dating from the 1870s and originally commissioned by the Brooks family as one of a distinguished pair of Victorian villas, this remarkable home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence of architectural elegance, rich provenance, and extraordinary future potential. Extending to approximately 352 sq.m (3,789 sq.ft) across three levels, Eastwood effortlessly combines grand proportions with an abundance of original Victorian character. High ceilings, decorative plasterwork, marble fireplaces, sash windows and an impressive original staircase all speak to the craftsmanship of its era, while the scale of the accommodation offers remarkable versatility for contemporary family living. A granite staircase rises to an elegant recessed entrance framed by an arched porch and coloured-glass fanlight, opening into a welcoming reception hall where period detailing immediately sets the tone. The beautifully proportioned drawing room enjoys a striking bay window and centres around a magnificent white marble fireplace with ornate overmantel. The dining room, rich in character and overlooking the gardens, provides a sophisticated setting for both entertaining and family gatherings. The upper floor hosts four generously proportioned bedrooms, with the primary bedroom being complete with en-suite bathroom. A family bathroom and excellent storage are also on this floor. At lower garden level, a substantial self-contained floor offers exceptional flexibility, currently arranged to include 3 additional bedrooms, living accommodation, kitchen and bathroom facilities; ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, independent living or staff quarters. In total, Eastwood offers approximately seven bedrooms, four reception rooms, four bath/shower rooms, two kitchens and a study, presenting a home of uncommon scale in a location where opportunities of this nature are increasingly rare. The Gate Lodge Positioned discreetly at the entrance to the estate, the 4 bedroom detached Gate Lodge adds significant value to the estate. Extending to approximately 119 sq.m (1,281 sq.ft) and enjoying its own independent access directly onto Ballinteer Road, the lodge is beautifully presented and immediately suitable for occupation. Characterful and welcoming, the accommodation centres around a vaulted living space with timber-clad ceilings and glazed doors opening to a private south-facing garden. With four bedrooms (primary bedroom en-suite), kitchen, dining area and family bathroom, the lodge lends itself equally well as guest accommodation, a home office, multi-generational living or an income-producing opportunity. Grounds & Setting Few properties so close to Dundrum enjoy such remarkable privacy. The mature grounds extend predominantly to the side and rear of the main residence, comprising expansive lawns framed by established specimen planting, including mature trees. Despite its highly convenient setting, Eastwood possesses a distinctly country-house atmosphere; an increasingly rare quality within Dublin’s suburban landscape. A sweeping gravel driveway leads from Ballinteer Road through the grounds to a generous forecourt and parking area before the house. An Exceptional South Dublin Address Eastwood occupies a highly sought-after position on Ballinteer Road within easy walking distance of Dundrum Town Centre, one of Ireland’s premier retail and leisure destinations. The Luas Green Line at Dundrum and Balally provides swift access to Sandyford and Dublin city centre, while the nearby M50 motorway connects seamlessly to the wider national road network. The area is exceptionally well served by many of South Dublin’s most respected schools; Wesley College, Mount Anville, Alexandra College, Gonzaga, St Benildus College and Taney Parish Primary School are all within reach, together with an abundance of sporting, recreational and lifestyle amenities. Marlay Park, Airfield Estate and Ballawley Park are all within close proximity, offering extensive green space, walking trails and recreational facilities. Development Potential Beyond its appeal as a substantial family residence, Eastwood presents a rare strategic opportunity in a proven residential location. The property is zoned Objective A under the Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Development Plan 2022–2028, supporting residential development in principle, subject to planning and preservation of the site’s mature landscape setting. Surrounding development patterns along Ballinteer Road, including established apartment schemes and neighbouring residential redevelopment, demonstrate the strength of the location and the precedent for sensitive future development. Whether preserved as an important period residence, enhanced as a generational family home, or explored for longer-term residential potential, Eastwood represents one of the more compelling opportunities to come to the South Dublin market in recent years.
