Shakespears Villa, 24 Sutton Strand, Sutton, Dublin 13, D13E1E8

Behind the rustic stone façade of Shakespeare Villa lies a luxurious period residence of exceptional charm, commanding spectacular west-facing views across Dublin Bay. Occupying an enviable position on the highly sought-after Strand Road in Sutton, Shakespeare Villa faces due west, allowing the fortunate new owners to enjoy breathtaking sunsets throughout the year. The panoramic views extend across Dublin Bay, encompassing Bull Island Nature Reserve, the iconic Poolbeg Chimneys and the Dublin city skyline. The ever-changing seascape is alive with kite surfers, sailors and the resident seal colony along the shoreline, creating a truly captivating maritime setting. This superb coastal location combines seaside charm with excellent convenience, offering easy access to all the amenities of Sutton and the Howth Peninsula. To the rear, the kitchen and dining area opens onto a private terrace, an ideal external snug for morning coffee. From here a pathway leads onward to a delightful “secret garden”, a surprisingly spacious and private outdoor haven. Perfectly oriented to capture the sun throughout the day, this charming garden features paved terraces, a manicured lawn and an aged brick wall shaded by a mature fig tree. Fruit trees and an abundance of plants, shrubs and flowers complete this enchanting Provence style space, a true sanctuary within the comfort of your own home. This much-loved home underwent an extensive refurbishment in circa 2014, designed by the acclaimed architects Tyler Owens. The result is a beautifully balanced blend of period character and modern efficiency, reflected in its impressive B2 energy rating.
