A boutique collection of just four detached homes nestled behind Loreto Terrace, discreetly positioned at the rear of Loreto Terrace, Abbey Close is a rare and intimate development of just four detached homes. Originally the showhouse of the scheme, this residence stands out for its generous proportions, modern design, and smart use of space, including a fully converted attic completed during construction.

Extending to 181 sq m (1,948 sq ft), with an additional 27 sq m (294 sq ft) in the attic, this home offers a spacious layout designed with family living and entertaining in mind. A wide entrance hall sets the tone for the home’s light-filled and airy feel, with a sports equipment cupboard offering practical storage from the outset a further cloakroom and guest WC.

To the left, a beautifully proportioned living room creates a warm and welcoming reception space. To the rear of the house is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, which spans the full width of the property in an L-shaped layout. At its heart sits a central island, providing the perfect gathering spot for casual dining, hosting, or homework time. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with an abundance of storage and countertop space, making it as functional as it is stylish.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four well-appointed bedrooms, all arranged around a large central landing that enhances the sense of openness. The main bedroom, positioned to the front of the house, includes a sleek shower en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are generous in size and versatile in function, ideal for growing families or those working from home.

The converted attic room adds valuable flexibility, currently serving as a guest bedroom but easily adaptable as a home office, playroom, or private gym. High ceilings throughout the home, coupled with its B3 BER rating, ensure comfort and energy efficiency year-round.

To the front, the property features a cobble-locked driveway providing off-street parking for two cars. There are two gated side entrances offering convenient access to the rear garden.
The rear garden is a well-balanced mix of paved, pebbled, and lawned areas — ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or family play. A paved patio sits directly off the kitchen, perfect for outdoor dining. Additional features include a Barna shed for storage, an outdoor tap, and external lighting, all adding to the functionality of this low-maintenance and private outdoor space.

Located in a family-friendly neighbourhood, Abbey Close offers easy access to a host of excellent amenities. A crèche, Loreto National School, Rathfarnham Educate Together, and the tranquil green spaces of Rathfarnham Castle Park, Marlay Park, St Enda’s Park, ample sports facilities bus routes, Rathfarnham, Nutgrove and Dundrum Shopping Centres are all nearby - placing everything you need right on your doorstep.
