Description
Bamenda, named after the original purchaser, a doctor who worked in the city of Bamenda in Cameron in the 1930s, exudes great charm and curb appeal. It is a characterful 1930’s Kenny built home with many original 1930s art deco features. positioned on the southern side of Clonkeen Road. Very well set back from the road and enjoying an incredible degree of privacy on account of the mature foliage which encompasses its perimeter, this home offers the ultimate in convenience, privacy, character and family living, all set against an idyllic sun drenched 114ft (approx.) southwest facing garden. A very happy home to the same family for many years, it extends to approximately 162sq.m./1,743sq.ft. and sits within approximately 0.20 acres. A very fine residence as it stands with many original features, it now comes to the market as a wonderful opportunity to create a magnificent family home incorporating all the elements you desire.
As you arrive at the property, the first impressive feature is the provision of extensive off-street parking which also gives access to notably wide side entrance leading around to a large garage (147sq.ft. approx.) which sits separate to the house. There is also an entryway through to the back garden. To the front of the house there is an entrance lobby which provides a space for preparing and recovering from the elements. There is a full shower room off it and access through to the entrance hall. Off the generous entrance hall, which has the original stairwell and banister, there are two reception rooms; a drawing room and a dining room which connects to the garden. There is also a kitchen to the rear of this level which connects to the side entrance. Upstairs, the nicely appointed bedroom accommodation consists of two bright and generously appointed double bedrooms and two further nicely sized single rooms. A bathroom and separate toilet completes the accommodation at this level.
Enhancing the appeal of this residence is a substantial A-frame roof attic extending to approximately 40m², offering exceptional scope for a bespoke conversion. Notably, we are informed that approximately 16m² enjoys ceiling heights in excess of six feet, providing an ideal footprint for the creation of elegant additional bedrooms, a private retreat, or a sophisticated home office (subject to planning permission). This impressive upper-level space presents a rare opportunity to elevate the home’s accommodation and long-term value through thoughtful, design-led enhancement. This is on top of the huge scope for extension to the side and rear garden of the residence.
To the rear of the house the garden extends to 114ft (approx.). It is drenched in south/west facing sun and enjoys a great sense of privacy. A dream retreat for garden enthusiasts, it is laid mainly in lawn together with a selection of mature shrubs and trees including Lilac Trees, Magnolia tree, Bay trees and roses, along with a large patio area for outdoor entertaining and al-fresco dining. To the front there are Copper Beech hedges on both sides with mature foliage. A haven of seclusion and privacy, the garden together with the large wide side entryway will afford ideal garage conversion with excellent potential as a self-contained granny flat, guest suite, home office, or private rental accommodation (Subject to planning permission where required). A versatile space perfect for multigenerational living or generating additional income.
The property is conveniently situated equidistance from the N11 and Deansgrange village. Nearby shopping facilities including local shopping in Deansgrange , a 5 minute walk away and Dunnes Stores retail centre in Cornelscourt, which is only a 5 minute drive away. There is an abundance of recreational facilities and amenities in the vicinity which include tennis courts around the corner in both Beech Park and in Meadowvale as well as the spacious neighbouring Cabinteely Park with its renowned children’s playground and Kilbogget Park and the soon to be completed playground in Clonkeen Park. The villages of Foxrock, Blackrock and Stillorgan are also nearby. There is an excellent choice of highly regarded primary and secondary schools within a few minutes drive including St Patrick’s Hollypark Boys & Girls National Schools, St Brigid’s Boys & Girls National Schools, Lycée Francais d’Irlande, Coláiste Eoin & Íosogáin, Loreto College Foxrock, Clonkeen College and Blackrock College to name but a few.
