Sherry FitzGerald are delighted to bring “Dunbrody” to the market. This charming bay fronted 1930’s home has been sympathetically extended and refurbished over the years to create this wonderful family home. Whilst ready for immediate occupation Planning Permission granted in 2026 provides for further expansion allowing new owners the opportunity to further expand another 172sqm. Move into now and expand later or do it all at once the option is yours! Set back off Torquay Road enjoying a mature and exceptionally private site of approx. 0.3 acres with private, westerly orientation. The property enjoys well-appointed internal layout which is further enhanced by glass panelled doors, picture windows and the use of solid panelling to the walls creates a cosy intimate homely ambience. A delightful open porch with glazed roof and traditional wooden balustrade opens to the inviting hallway with tiled floor and panelled walls. Light streams in from the French doors at the back of the house and is reflected throughout with the use of glass panelled doors and large picture windows. The reception rooms enjoy views out over the gardens and the kitchen, complete with AGA, is a bright and inviting family space in cool tones of blue and white. A utility room is located off the kitchen. Dunbrody currently extends to approximately 2,200 sq.ft (204.38 sq.m) and is ready for immediate occupation. Refurbishment works carried out approximately 15 years ago include new windows, a new heating system, attractive tiled flooring in the hallway, newly fitted fireplace with stove inset in the family room and panelled walls in the hallway which continue to the first floor. Rising upstairs the first floor enjoys four spacious double bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom complete with bath and separate shower. The walls on the landing are panelled in keeping with the hallway downstairs and the overall pristine nature of this very fine home. The great feature is however that Planning permission also exists to extend the house with a combination of a single story extension to the west and a two story extension to the east gable adding a total of 172sqm. Plans have been drawn up by DMVF Architects. Planning Reference D25A/0901/WEB. Having been well maintained over the years, Dunbrody is a turnkey family home offering both immediate comfort and long-term potential.
