Tigin, Kilmore Avenue, Killiney, Co. Dublin, A96CX36

Set on the prestigious and highly sought-after Kilmore Avenue, this charming two / three bedroom detached 1930s bungalow occupies a wonderfully private setting amid generous, mature gardens. Of particular note, the cottage was designed by Florence Fulton Hobson, recognised as Ireland’s first female architect, a fact brought to light following a visit by a university professor from the north. This rare architectural provenance adds a distinctive layer of historical and cultural significance to the property. Built in the Arts & Crafts style of the period, the house retains many fine original features reflecting the craftsmanship and design ethos of the era. These include elegant hall wall panelling, a striking panelled front door with glass panels and distinctive high-level handle detailing, along with period fireplaces. The Arts & Crafts influence continues internally, with mosaic detailing to the bathroom floor and shower, and complementary mosaic detailing to the kitchen wall, thoughtfully designed by the present owner. Sea views can be enjoyed from several rooms, creating a strong connection to the coast and enhancing the home’s unique appeal. A garage to the side and expansive, mature gardens provide excellent scope for extension or enhancement, subject to planning permission, allowing a purchaser to future-proof the home while respecting its architectural heritage. Kilmore Avenue is widely regarded as one of Killiney’s most exclusive and tranquil residential roads, offering privacy while remaining exceptionally convenient.
