53 Main Street, Howth, Howth, Dublin 13

Positioned above the heart of Howth, this charming terraced cottage enjoys an elevated and peaceful setting, with the harbour and village centre just a short stroll away. New to the letting market, it has long served as a cherished home with a natural warmth and authenticity throughout that immediately sets it apart. Despite its quiet position, the property remains within an easy five-minute walk of the shops, cafés and waterfront that define daily life on the peninsula. On-street parking is available to the front, while to the rear a private driveway, accessed via double gates from the back lane, provides secure off-street parking suitable for a small car or access for bikes and outdoor items. A gated entrance opens to a sheltered front porch and into a welcoming hallway, where wooden floors immediately introduce a sense of character. To the right, the sitting room is a comfortable and well-proportioned space centred on an open fire, with a sash window drawing in natural light throughout the day. It is a cosy room particularly and an open fire adds to its charm. To the left of the hall is the first bedroom, a generous double with excellent wardrobe space and an original fireplace that adds further character. Along the hallway are two additional small double bedrooms, positioned opposite one another and each well balanced in scale, equally suited as bedrooms, a home office or a quiet study. The bathroom is located just beyond and comprises a bath with overhead electric shower and window for natural ventilation, continuing the practical and straightforward layout that is typical of a home of this era. To the rear of the property, the kitchen is compact yet thoughtfully arranged, in keeping with its cottage proportions. It provides ample storage, an oven with gas hob, dishwasher and a small dining area suitable for two. Gas fired central heating serves the house, with controls conveniently located here. A door from the kitchen opens into a versatile rear room which functions as a utility and additional living space. This area accommodates the fridge freezer, further storage and a laundry section, and also has space for a table and chairs. It would lend itself equally well to use as an informal dining room, a hobby room or simply an additional parlour style space. From here, a door leads directly to the rear garden. Outside, the garden is laid mainly in gravel with potted planting and a garden shed. While modest in scale, it offers a pleasant and low maintenance outdoor area. The rear double gates provide access to the driveway space and add a practical dimension rarely found in terraced homes. Altogether, this is a compact and characterful home in one of Dublin’s most distinctive coastal settings. Its first letting marks a new chapter for a property that has been quietly cared for as a family residence, and it now offers comfortable, well located accommodation for those seeking something a little more individual within the heart of Howth. We look forward to hearing from you.
