In a strip of coastal houses facing some of the east coast’s finest views, lay-out and a viewing strategy give The Moorings an edge. Originally built around 1979, The Moorings was modernised, extended and reconfigured in 2004 and now, strategically designed to take full viewing advantage of its location. It has plate glass windows in a living/dining area located on the first floor, a balcony framed in glass panels, glass doors everywhere and a gravel front without as much as a hedge to impede sweeping Dublin bay and horizon vistas.

The rear has its own appeal in a 60ft long and 30ft wide sheltered, south-facing garden where sandstone steps lead to an elevated decking and lawn and where the walls are lush with holly and other evergreens.

The Moorings is for sale through Savills, with an asking price of €1.2m. The floor area covers 189 sq m (2,034 sq ft) with four bedrooms (two en suite), an open-plan kitchen/breakfastroom on the ground floor and large, open-plan living/dining area on the first floor.

The first-floor living area has timber flooring, a feature mahogany wall, sliding glass doors to a glass-panelled balcony and views that sweep from Howth to Clontarf, on to the South Wall lighthouse and right around to the nearby 40ft bathing area. A bedroom on this level could make a useful study.

The long kitchen, with the breakfastroom to the front and stone-tiled floor, has extensive fittings, black granite worktops and a black-topped breakfast bar. A couple of  lantern-style vaulted skylights are operated electrically. The other three bedrooms are on this level, the main one front facing with a walk-through dressing and en suite. Both other bedrooms are to the rear, have timber flooring and glass doors to the garden.

There is off-street parking to the front.
