While the property has been very well maintained, a little imagination, style and flair could transform it into a sophisticated home of exacting standards. Set amidst impressive and beautifully maintained, sun drenched southwest facing gardens, the property enjoys uninterrupted views of the Dublin mountains. Upon entering, the hallway leads through to a large foyer with central fireplace, ceiling coving and black and white tiling. Double doors open through to three magnificent interconnecting reception rooms all of which boast extensive glazing allowing natural light to prevail and patio doors open onto a spacious outdoor terrace. A cosy library room offers a relaxing ambience in an informal setting. Overlooking the front garden, the well equipped kitchen could easily be remodelled and extended to incorporate the adjoining hallway and utility room. Also at this level are three guest w.c.'s and a storage room. A feature spiral staircase leads upstairs where the accommodation continues with a long landing off of which a picturesque 'Juliet' balcony is perfect for a leisurely breakfast and a back staircase leads down to the. The master suite comprises a large bedroom, dressing area, extensive storage and a stylish en suite shower room. To complete the accommodation at this level, there are three further double bedrooms, a bright shower room and a spacious newly fitted bathroom. To the side of the house, a self contained two bedroom bungalow 624sq.ft/58sq.m(approx) with open plan living/dining, kitchen and bathroom would make a superb home office, guest quarter, au pair pad, personal gym or games room. A true feature of this fine residence are the exceptional gardens. The front garden has a sweeping gravelled driveway and ample off-street parking together with a dual carport. The rear southwest facing garden is simply breathtaking and offers privacy, seclusion and all day sunshine. Several rooms open onto a split level patio with outdoor lighting - a perfect setting for daytime and evening entertaining. A substantial and immaculate lawn bordered by mature shrubs and trees stretches down to what appears to be a secret garden but on closer inspection is a true gem - a full size hard surface tennis court. Residents of Brighton Road are ideally positioned within moments of Foxrock's bijou up market village offering trendy eateries, chic boutiques, a gourmet food specialist and wonderful fresh flowers. The N11, QBC, LUAS and M50 provide excellent transport links to the city centre and it's environs. Several of Dublin's premier schools are also nearby as too are a host of leisure facilities including golf and tennis clubs, horse riding and swimming not to mention Leopardstown Race Course Development Potential The large site offers clear development potential, underpinned by its zoning and scale, with strong precedent for high quality schemes in the immediate vicinity, most notably the recently completed neighbouring Beckett Wood development. Foxrock is widely regarded as a super prime location, characterised by low-density, sought-after housing and excellent connectivity, and remains undersupplied in terms of new residential development. The site offers a redevelopment of the entire site or retention of the existing substantial accommodation and redevelopment of the rear garden and tennis court. Under the Dun Loaghaire Rathdown Development Plan 2022-2028, the site is zoned Objective ‘A’ residential under which the objective is to provide residential development and improve residential amenity while protecting the existing residential amenities. A density range of 40-80 units per hectare would suggest potential for a scheme of 18-36 units, subject to the necessary planning consents. Entrance Hall Hall door with lead paned windows.
