Description
A tranquil and picturesque retreat in the salubrious coastal suburb of Monkstown, Vesey Mews is a little known mews lane where original Victorian coach houses have been transformed into a selection of homes, each more interesting than the last. The graveled laneway, trimmed with flowering plants, is quite the location to come across and one would be forgiven for missing its presence altogether on account of its discreet entryway being nearly concealed by the row of imposing homes on Vesey Place, which overlook Vesey Park.
When the current owners purchased this property, in the not so distant past, they undertook an extensive upgrade, creating an incredibly inviting and charming home, which exudes comfortable elegance. A house for all seasons, its comfort and warmth envelop you as the dark and blustery weather encroaches, providing you with the warmest and most inviting of shelters from the harsh elements. Equally, when the warmer weather and longer evenings come along, the house seamlessly opens up to the garden and a bright and airy sense prevails. The courtyard and garden, set behind tall gates, wraps around the house with various seating areas to fully enjoy the sun throughout the day.
The entrance lobby is a spot to recover from and ready yourself for whatever the weather is serving. Step further inside and the downstairs accommodation has been cleverly opened up to create a very special open plan living/kitchen/dining room off which there is a storage closet and a utility room. As you rise up the stairs, you will notice that light wells from above draw in natural light and the part exposed granite wall is a beautiful feature. On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite comprises a large bedroom shower en-suite and what was once a third bedroom is now a fabulous dressing room. The second bedroom is also a double room with extensive built in wardrobes and the modern bathroom completes the accommodation at this level.
The location needs little introduction. A wealth of amenities, both social and essential, lie within a short walk. There is ease of access to the beach at Seapoint, for year round swims in the sea, and to walks along the seafront and the East and West piers. Monkstown Crescent offers an excellent choice of specialty food shops, as well as fashionable clothes and interiors shops, bars and restaurants, including Avoca, Café du Journal and Cinnamon. Dun Laoghaire, meanwhile, has supermarkets, banks, a theatre and a multi-screen cinema, plus four sailing clubs with active junior programs. There are also two tennis clubs within a few minutes' walk of the property. There is an excellent choice of schools close by and along the nearby DART line including Blackrock College, Loreto Dalkey, CBC Monkstown and St Andrew's to name but a few. Transport link include excellent bus routes along with the DART and the Aircoach provides direct access to Dublin Airport. Accommodation
