Turvey Avenue , Donabate, Co. Dublin

THE PROPERTY: The subject property extends to c. 0.38 hectares / 0.96 acres and is zoned Objective ‘TC’ – Town and District Centre, which is defined as to “Protect and enhance the special physical and social character of town and district centres and provide and/or improve urban facilities”. The zoning permits a wide range of residential and commercial, enterprise and employment-related uses (subject to planning permission). The subject property comprises a greenfield site and benefits from extensive frontage onto Turvey Avenue. We are advised that an access point to the site was previously negotiated with Fingal County Council in 2005 when road widening works were completed on Turvey Avenue. A grant of planning permission was secured by the vendor but not implemented for a community centre under planning ref. F18A/0424 shows this entrance off Turvey Avenue. The site is bound by Sycamore Hill to the east, to the south by Saint Patrick’s Church, other church premises and a number of houses fronting onto Sycamore Hill, a new Aldi store to the west and Turvey Avenue to the north.

The area offers an exceptional lifestyle, with five golf courses nearby including The Island, Beaverstown and Donabate as well as GAA, soccer, hockey and tennis clubs. The stunning 400-acre Newbridge House & Demesne lies immediately adjacent, while local shops, restaurants and cafés are all within easy reach. Families are well catered for with excellent schools such as Donabate Portrane Educate Together, Donabate Community College, St. Patrick’s National School and the Gaelscoil, alongside a range of Montessori and Pre- Schools. Transport links are superb with Donabate Train Station just 300m from the subject property, offering a 26-minute rail connection to Dublin City Centre and a 4-minute journey to Malahide.
