Arranmore, Cunningham Road Dalkey, Dalkey, Co. Dublin, A96E440

An exceptionally attractive red brick late Victorian family home, built in 1875, enjoying an elevated position along this prestigious road which connects Ardeevin Road with Dalkey Avenue. This is an extremely impressive property offering superbly presented, generously proportioned bright and airy accommodation upgraded in recent years, retaining many of the original features of its era, and further enhanced with spectacular views over the Dalkey rooftops, Dun Laoghaire Harbour and across Dublin Bay to Howth. Standing on manicured gardens and grounds of approximately 0.16HA (0.4 acre), Arranmore is approached by a long tarmacadam driveway bordered by a sweeping lawned garden and well-defined granite wall boundaries benefitting from a much sought after south-westerly orientated two-tiered rear garden laid out mainly in lawn. A beautiful inviting wide entrance porch opens through to the reception hall by way of a glass panelled door with a stained glass fanlight over. The entrance hall connects the drawing room with the dining room and ultimately through to the family room/study. In the dining room there is a hatch opening through to the kitchen with a shower room and utility/plant room completing the accommodation at the ground floor level. Up the very fine staircase there are four double bedrooms, the master being en suite, a family bathroom, sunroom, an attic room and bathroom completing the accommodation on the upper floors. The views from the front bedrooms in particular are breathtaking. There is a garage to the side with a store/bedroom and above this is an own hall door self-contained unit which is laid out as an open plan living/dining/kitchen/bedroom area and a shower room. A side passage with granite steps connects the front to the rear. The property offers vast potential to extend to the side and into the rear garden in order to increase the overall accommodation if so desired, subject to planning permission. The position of this quality home will be of major interest to those trying to get a foothold in the highly regarded much sought after Dalkey location. This coastal town offers a wide range of local and specialist shops, cafes, delicatessens, excellent pubs and some of the finest restaurants in South County Dublin. The surrounding is well served by an excellent selection of primary and secondary schools including Loreto Abbey Dalkey, Harold Boys, Castle Park and the Harold National School. Dalkey DART Station is literally around the corner and this services the city centre as well as many secondary boys’ schools with regular ease.
