Secluded but convenient in Blackrock

A detached three-bedroom house near the Blackrock bypass is in walking distance of Dart, sea and village

THERE ARE tantalising glimpses of the sea from a detached house in Blackrock, Co Dublin, tucked away off the coast road and the Blackrock bypass. Santa Barbra, 24 Temple Park is for sale by private treaty through Lisney for €745,000.

Its location off Seapoint Avenue, Monkstown Road and Temple Hill is secluded but very convenient, in walking distance of Seapoint Dart station and Blackrock village. The 1920s house has been refurbished and is well-maintained, according to the agent. Halfway up the road leading to Temple Hill, it has steps up to the front door, and high hedging.

At the back of the house, there’s a small decked patio area with steps leading up to an elevated lawn – where there’s another decked area that affords glimpses of the sea over rooftops.

Accommodation in the 116sq m (1,250sq ft) three-bedroom house includes a galley-style kitchen and breakfastroom, diningroom and sittingroom. Original period features, like cast-iron fireplaces and mouldings, have been kept.

The kitchen has cream Shaker-style units and both the kitchen and breakfastroom have tiled floors. The breakfastroom has a cast-iron fireplace and French doors opening onto the back garden. The diningroom and sittingroom, both with polished timber floors and cast-iron fireplaces, are connected by an open arch. Good shelving on either side of the sittingroom fireplace provides lots of space for books, TV, DVDs and speakers.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has Sliderobes; another bedroom has a picture window with glimpses of the sea. The main family bathroom is at this level. There is residential disk parking on the street.
