A Versatile Property with Excellent Potential in a Highly Sought-After Location

Situated on Rochestown Avenue, this substantial property presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a well-located home with excellent potential for reconfiguration and further enhancement. Permission is currently being sought for change of use from commercial/medical use to residential use, on the part of the existing premises, to achieve full residential use at this address, with minor internal alterations. Planning reference D26A/0594/WEB. Alternatively, the existing configuration lends itself particularly well to professional or business use, subject to the relevant permissions. Its prominent location, generous parking and proximity to local amenities make it an attractive proposition for a range of occupiers.

The property has historically operated as a combination of residential accommodation and a dental surgery and, while currently arranged for this purpose, it benefits from a layout that can be readily adapted back to a comfortable family home. Planning permission is also underway to facilitate the change of use back to full residential use, offering buyers a clear pathway to realise the property's full potential.

On entering, the existing entrance hall currently serves as the reception area for the dental practice. To the front, the original reception room has been adapted as a waiting room, while the former garage, together with the rear extension, provides a series of treatment rooms. Importantly, the original staircase remains intact, making the reinstatement of the property's residential layout particularly straightforward.

To the rear, the property opens into a generous open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, creating a bright and sociable space with direct connection to the rear garden. A spiral staircase provides access to the first-floor level, where there are currently three bedrooms and a family bathroom, together with the additional room that provides the access to the spiral staircase, which would have originally served as a fourth generous bedroom.

The location is superb. Rochestown Avenue is an established and highly convenient address in Glenageary, with an excellent selection of local amenities close at hand. The area is particularly well served by a range of renowned primary and secondary schools, while shopping, cafés, restaurants and everyday conveniences are all readily accessible.
For commuters, the property enjoys easy access to the M50 and Dublin's wider road network, while the surrounding area is well served by public transport options, providing convenient access to Dublin City Centre and surrounding suburbs.
