Mason estates are delighted to bring this charming two-bedroom coach house in the quiet private Stable Lane Mews to the market. The property, built circa 1850, maintains many of its original features while also benefiting from some modernisation by the current owners. Recessed back from the bustle of the Monkstown Road, this cottage gives a real feel of country living in the heart of one of the best neighbourhoods in South County Dublin. This property would ideally suit a down-sizer or a couple looking to set down roots in this wonderful location.
Located at the rear of this small private community, the house is nestled away from the other properties and is ensured privacy with the original granite wall opposite the front door. There is parking at the front for three cars and this area also provides room from a good-sized shed, ideal for bike storage, or wood for the fire, and extra space adjacent to this for bin storage etc.
Entering the house there is a real country feel with dark wooden floorboards, wrought iron windows, and thick stone walls. There is a cloakroom in the hallway with plenty of storage and a small utility under the stairs. On the left of the hallway is the large open plan living/dining room, with dark wooden floors, low cottage windows, and an open fire, making this a very cosy living space. Adjacent to this room is the bright new modern kitchen, with quality wooden laminate flooring, and modern double-glazed windows and doors. This has been fitted out with all mod cons, tile splash back behind the sink, hob, and kitchen countertops, and ample storage. There is also a dining area, and room for a large dresser in this space. Outside is the low maintenance private patio area, tastefully finished, ideal for BBQing.
Heading up the stairs, which is a period piece in itself, you come up to the landing with the low windows of that period, that has been tastefully finished with a sloping tongue and groove ceiling, which runs throughout the first floor. There are two double bedrooms, the master bedroom has three aspects, with a glimpse of the sea, and retains the original cast iron fireplace. The bathroom door is a stunning period piece with a wrought iron window, typical of the era of construction, while the bathroom has been finished with beautiful Victorian sanitary ware, including a Victorian cistern and a wrought iron radiator to give it a classical feel. There is a large shower with a rainforest shower feature, a hot press, and plenty of extra storage.
The property has GFCH with a recently installed high efficiency boiler, is wired for an alarm, and has internet and TV points.
The location of this property cannot be overemphasised. It is a short stroll to both Blackrock and Monkstown villages and all the many excellent amenities that they have to offer. There are numerous award-winning restaurants, and an abundance of established, and new cafes and bars close-by. Shopping facilities are plentiful with several major centres such as Blackrock Shopping Centre, the Frascati Centre, and Dun Laoghaire shopping centre in the vicinity, while it is a twenty-minute drive to Dundrum.
The area is well-serviced by public transport with numerous bus routes directly outside the development, while Seapoint Dart station is a five-minute walk. There are a number of excellent social and sports clubs close by, while for those with a love of sea swimming, it is a five-minute walk to Seapoint beach.
In short, this is a unique private home, in an excellent location, and viewing is highly recommended. To arrange a viewing please contact Ryan O`Shaughnessy on 0831127717 or email using the facility, and private viewings will be made by appointment only.
