Last viewing Sat 23rd August. Delightful family home ideally located beside Phoenix Park - with one of the few remaining pedestrian turnstile gates directly across the road - giving plenty of space to roam, walk the dog, play, run or kick a ball. This is a freehold property with no annual service charge. It is much newer than other properties in the area having been built in 1995 at the end of a terrace of three new houses, on the site of an earlier cottage. It was extended by the current owners in 2002. It has been meticulously maintained as a family home and is presented in immaculate condition.
