13 Drummartin Close, Lower Kilmacud Road, Goatstown, Dublin 14, D14A520

FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY IN FAMILY-FRIENDLY LOCATION Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, but within walking distance of some fantastic amenities, schools, parks and transport connections, No.13 Drummartin Close has huge potential as a new family home. After nearly 70 years in single family ownership, the house is ready to become a much loved home for a new household. Drummartin Close is a short road, just set back from the Lower Kilmacud Road. No. 13 is on the North West corner of the street, situated on a corner which opens up the property to give you one of the widest rear gardens on the road. No. 13 is a spacious Semi-Detached 4 Bed House, set back from the street behind low iron gates and an ample front garden with off-street parking and garden area. The house presents a traditional Semi-Detached frontage, with red-brick lower frontages and pebbledash uppers. The house has previously been extended to the wide side garden with a single-storey extension including ground floor bedroom with ensuite bathroom, plus secondary entrance and dining room off the kitchen. With such a large plot to the side and rear of the property, there is great potential for future one or two storey extensions, to greatly enlarge and modernise this home to your own requirements (Subject to Planning). Entering the property, you arrive in a bright spacious front hall; turning right you access the cosy front living with traditional open fireplace with tiled surround, and huge windows to the front. Double french doors lead you through to a second rear living room or dining room; with gas fireplace (back boiler). Sliding patio doors lead out onto the rear garden. Next, the kitchen is situated in the centre of the house, a long space extending out into the garden with triple aspect windows and worktops both sides. A press door leads to understairs storage. From the kitchen, an open archway leads into the single-storey extension. This room has been used as a dining room, with windows and door access to the rear garden. To the front there is a small porch/utility room giving secondary access to the front of the house. Finally, on the ground floor, a spacious downstairs bedroom suite was built, with large windows to front, and a WC and shower room to rear. The rear garden is the perfect aspect, facing West, catching the sun from mid morning all the way through to the evening. The garden is wider than it is long, widening to over 15 meters and over 8 metres long. Laid to grass with remnants of a shed along the blockwrok rear wall. Over the rear wall is the back garden of the original Drummartin Lodge House, so not overlooked or overshadowed. This private secluded space could be a wonderful outdoor space with the right touch. Upstairs, the property features a further three bedrooms. Two large double bedrooms front and back include built-in wardrobes and large windows overlooking front and back gardens. A third single bedroom faces the front. To the back of the hall is a separate WC and Bathroom, plus a hotpress with immersion water tank. Above, a spacious storage attic has been recently insulated and draftproofed around the attic hatch. Overall, the house is in need of modernisation; however it offers great potential to create a fabulous, large family home with some creative design (Subject to Planning Permission).
