101 The Oaks, Rockford Manor, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, A94W677

SMART STYLISH 1 BED APARTMENT IN IMPRESSIVE PERIOD CONVERSION Churches Estate Agents are delighted to present this unique top floor apartment to the market, situated in the wonderful Rockford Manor, a converted 1800s manor house, smartly transformed in 2002 by renowed Sorohan Brothers. Apt. 101 benefits from the best of both worlds; a grand entrance through the traditional halls of the original building, but by being actually part of the new building, providing well-built and energy-efficient interiors with a warm C1 BER Rating. Situated on the bright top floor with South-facing views of the Dublin Mountains. While there is no lift access, there is a very gentle internal staircase which would be manageable for all ages. Located just 5 minutes from Blackrock Village and other fantastic village centres such as Deansgrange and Dun Laoghaire, this is a wonderful South Dublin location with a vast range of facilities, shops and amenities. Blackrock not only includes two major shopping centres, a range of independant shops and cafes, plus a fantastic selection of Supervalu, M&S, Aldi and the new Dunnes. Deansgrange has a fantastic Supervalu, pharmacy, An Post and Lidl. The stunning Dublin Coastline and DART railway services are easily accessible just 10-15 minutes away. The area is renowned for schools, from Primary (Guardian Angels, Monkstown Park Junior School & Monkstown Educate Together) to Secondary (Rockford Manor, Newpark Secondary, Blackrock College) The property would make a fantastic starter apartment or a neat, secure home for a downsizing/rightsizing homeowner. --- Driving in off Stradbrook Road, you enter Rockford Manor through impressive granite-posted wrought-iron gates, and turn into the car park of the striking granite-built manor house. A dedicated parking space is included in the basement car park, as well as ample visitors spaces on ground level. You enter the property through the original oak double-doors with beautiful mosaic tiled floor and stained-glass inserts. You are drawn through the halls of the old manor house, kept largely in their original style with solid oak doors, staircase and panelling. High ceilings with inset uplighting; chandeliers; rich carpets and parquet flooring. You rise one and a half gentle storeys to the apartment at the top of the new wing. Entering Apt. 101, you are welcomed with a generous front hallway, which has cleverly upgraded to include a smart cloakroom/bootroom area and a bespoke built-in fold-away desk area - perfect for Working From Home. Around the corner and into the main corridor, you come into the lovely open-plan kitchen/living room. This is a surprisingly generous shared family space, with room for the L-shaped kitchen, dining area and large corner sofa. The fitted kitchen includes black marble worktops, wood-fronted cabinet doors and integrated appliances. The room includes double South-facing windows, bringing in loads of light and views of the Dublin Mountains. The room is finished with broad-plank solid hardwood floors. Adjacent is the large master bedroom, with South-facing views and plentiful storage including large built-in wardrobes. Next there is the second bedroom / nursery.

It is a cosy home with bright sunshine and views. All mod cons including Double Glazing, Gas Fired Heating etc. Annual Management Fee is €2200 per annum.
