39 Castle Park, Monkstown, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, A94X752

At the foot of the landmark Monkstown Castle ruins lies a wonderful traffic free enclave of houses that enjoy an incredible sense of living within their own coastal retreat of calm and tranquillity. More often passed by than explored, most are mesmerised by the discovery of Castle Park and swiftly place it on their list of desired destinations to reside. Comprising a mix of styles of properties, No.39 is a very fine detached bungalow uniquely positioned to take in a full view of the castle ruins. Very well sat back from the road, green thumbed house hunters will relish in the gardens that surround the property that will offer gardening enthusiasts the ultimate canvas from which craft their dream garden. There is also great scope to develop more accommodation (subject to planning permission). Extending to approximately 1400 sq.ft. the property’s accommodation is spacious and light filled and offers great flexibility in how you could live in it. To the front of the house a large reception room spans the entire width of the property and has an outlook over the large front garden and towards the towering ruins of Monkstown Castle. There is a spacious kitchen/dining which opens out to a large courtyard area, which in turn gives access to the mature and much-loved rear garden. Originally a four-bedroom home, the current owner absorbed one of the bedrooms to create an ensuite shower room. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. To the front of the house, the large front garden is bordered with a perfusion of colourful plants and trees and offers endless parking. To the rear of the house the garden has a large patio spanning the entire width of the property which is a great space for outdoor entertaining. Two steps down lead to a generous lawn area which is bordered by mature beds with both a plum tree and apple tree among other varieties of plants and shrubs. The quaint village of Monkstown, steeped in its Victorian heritage, is only a five minute walk away, where an array of speciality shops, restaurants and cafés are to be enjoyed. There is an excellent choice of primary and secondary schools in the vicinity. Leisure facilities are well catered for in the area with Monkstown Lawn Tennis Club, the four yacht clubs in Dun Laoghaire and numerous coastal walks all close by. Salthill Dart station and a number of Dublin Bus Routes together with the Aircoach running through the village provide swift and rapid access to the city centre and Dublin Airport.
