15 Clifton Lane is a striking, architecturally designed A-rated home, ideally positioned within this quiet exclusive enclave in the heart of Monkstown. Designed by Connor Furey & Associates and constructed by SKM in 2017, this exceptional contemporary residence extends to approximately150 sq. m including the 20 sq.m garage. Finished to an exacting standard throughout, the house combines dramatic architectural design with generous, light-filled accommodation and carefully considered detailing to create a truly distinctive home that comes to the market in turnkey condition. From the moment you enter, the quality and individuality of the design are immediately apparent. A stunning double-height entrance hall features exposed reclaimed brickwork and a cast Iron and reinforced glass walkway, setting the tone for the contemporary interior beyond. Off the hall is a guest WC, cloak storage and access to the garage, which provides valuable off-street parking and is equipped with an EV charger. To the rear, the accommodation opens into an impressive living space, where a Stanley wood-burning stove creates a warm focal point and doors open directly onto the private and secluded south-west facing rear garden. The beautifully appointed kitchen/dining/ family room forms another highlight of the house. A bespoke kitchen by Andrew Pedlow incorporates a combination of quartz and timber worktops together with a range of high-end integrated appliances. Cleverly concealed behind a secret door is a well-equipped utility room, allowing the clean lines of the kitchen to be maintained while providing excellent additional storage and functionality. Throughout the ground floor, the emphasis is on light, space and quality, with the accommodation designed to work equally well for everyday living and entertaining. At first-floor level, the architectural character of the house becomes even more evident. Crittall-style doors lead to an additional living room, while a dramatic structurally engineered steel and toughened-glass walkway creates a striking contemporary feature above the entrance hall. Extensive use of electrically operated roof lights draws natural light deep into the interior, further enhancing the wonderfully bright and airy atmosphere. There are two generous double bedrooms at this level, including a particularly impressive principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation, with the bathrooms throughout the house finished to an equally high standard and featuring fittings from Bath House. The combination of exposed brickwork, steel, glass and carefully selected contemporary finishes gives the property a distinctive architectural identity while retaining the warmth and comfort required of a home. Outside, the private south-west facing rear garden offers a secluded setting in which to relax and entertain, complemented by a garden shed providing useful additional storage. The property also benefits from an impressive A3 BER rating, with an air-to-water heat pump and underfloor heating contributing to its excellent levels of energy efficiency and year-round comfort. The location is difficult to surpass. Clifton Lane is tucked away in a peaceful setting just off Clifton Avenue while being only a short stroll from the centre of Monkstown Village and its excellent selection of restaurants, cafés, bars and speciality food shops.
