Tucked away in a quiet little enclave just off Beach Park Road, this attractive detached home offers something increasingly difficult to find in Foxrock — generous accommodation (140sq.m. plus a further 20sq.m. attic conversion approx.), a lovely private setting and the opportunity to create a home entirely your own. This home has evolved over time to meet the needs of a busy family and it is now ready for its next chapter, offering an exciting opportunity for a new owner to make the most of an excellent family home.

Behind its welcoming exterior lies well-proportioned accommodation extending over three levels. A large entrance hall immediately gives a sense of the space within. To one side is a particularly generous living room, featuring a lovely bay window and feature fireplace — a warm and comfortable room with plenty of space for family life and entertaining. The living room flows through to an equally impressive dining room, creating a wonderful sequence of reception spaces. The dining room sits alongside the kitchen, with both rooms opening into the conservatory at the rear. The conservatory has served the family well over the years and provides a lovely connection to the garden. It is now ready for upgrading and refurbishment, offering the new owners the opportunity to rethink this space and create something that works perfectly for their lifestyle. The kitchen also leads to a further generous family room, originally created as a children's playroom. This is a particularly useful addition to the house and could continue as a playroom, become a family snug, home office or television room — or simply provide somewhere for everyone to escape to when the house is in full family mode. There is real flexibility here. The existing arrangement allows the downstairs accommodation to be opened up and connected when desired, while the individual rooms can equally provide separation and privacy as children grow older. It is the sort of layout that can evolve with a family.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms — two generous doubles and two singles — together with a recently fitted family bathroom. The landing also benefits from a useful storage closet, while a pleasant stairwell continues to the converted attic above. The attic conversion is a real highlight. With excellent head height and a very good sense of space, it provides a substantial additional room that could work beautifully as a home office, teenage den, guest accommodation, hobby room or simply somewhere to spread out. It is a versatile space that adds another valuable dimension to the house.

To the rear, the house enjoys a particularly nice, wide garden with two separate seating areas, creating plenty of scope for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining. A block-built shed has been put to excellent use and currently functions as a utility room, adding further practical space to the property.

Set just off Beach Park Road, the property enjoys a peaceful residential setting while remaining within easy reach of the area's excellent amenities. There is an excellent choice of schools close by, including the highly regarded schools in Foxrock such as Hollypark Boys and Girls Schools, Loretto Foxrock and the Lycee Francais International Samuel Beckett, while a wide range of other educational options are within easy reach. Everyday shopping is equally well catered for, with local shops on Foxrock Avenue, the established amenities of the villages of Foxrock and Deansgrange, and the wider retail offering at Cornelscourt all close at hand. The surrounding network of parish lanes is a particularly appealing feature of this part of Foxrock. These quiet pedestrian routes connect the various residential roads and provide an alternative to the busier main roads, allowing children to move between friends' houses and local amenities with greater independence and giving parents welcome peace of mind. The N11 is readily accessible as is the M50 to bring you further afield.

All in all the fundamentals of this property are excellent: a detached house, generous proportions, a very good family layout, a wide rear garden, an impressive attic conversion and a quiet enclave in one of south Dublin's most sought-after residential locations. This is an exciting opportunity to transform a much-loved house into a wonderful contemporary family home, tailored completely to their own taste and needs.
