The bungalows in Grove Lawn, a sleepy cul-de-sac in Blackrock, present an appealing prospect for young families looking for a quiet but well-located home. Bungalows in neighbourhoods which have a large stock of big period houses tend to also appeal to downsizers looking forward to the day when they’d prefer a house on a single level.

The owners of number 30 were doing just that when they bought about 15 years ago – their furniture from a much bigger house fitted in perfectly to the spacious 1970s bungalow which is towards the end of the cul-de-sac.

The detached three-bed had already been extended to enlarge the living area and give a utility room opening out to the rear garden. The design of this room gives the house a light-filled contemporary feel – the extension has significant floor-to-ceiling glazing which floods the entire area with light . This room opens out to a timber deck. There is also a separate sittingroom with an open fire.

Contemporary units

The bright kitchen was redone in recent times, fitted with sleek contemporary units with a woodblock worktop and floored with Marmoleum. It comes fitted with integrated appliances including a Fisher & Paykel oven.

There are three bedrooms, all doubles and two with ensuites. The shower room has been updated and there is a wall of good storage in the large entrance hall. The bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, making the best use of the space. With 168sq m (1,809sq ft), this is a good-sized family home and as it is detached with good space outside, buyers might consider extending. The gardens have been beautifully maintained by the late owner and there is good off-street parking as well as a garage.

Lisney is seeking €995,000 for 30 Grove Lawn.
