Description
7 Rosary Gardens East is tucked away in this quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Dun Laoghaire. Built circa 1922 by the British government for soldiers and sailors who served in the First World War. This delightful 'Soldier & Sailor's' cottage exudes a sense of history and character that is truly unique, it is more than just a house; it is a piece of history that has stood the test of time. Over the years, this attractive home has been lovingly cared for and extended to provide spacious accommodation of approximately 129 sq m / 1388 sq ft. The South orientation to the rear of the property allows for natural light to permeate throughout making it a particularly bright home.
A most noteworthy feature of No 7 are the picturesque gardens that surround the property. The front garden boasting enviable off-street parking, sets the tone for what lies ahead, welcoming residents with its country style landscaping. The rear garden, a generous size and basking in a sunny South orientation, provides a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life enhancing the overall appeal of this historic cottage.
The front door opens into the entrance hall with understairs storage cupboard provides access to the family room currently in use as an artist's studio, enjoying a dual aspect with sliding patio doors leading to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room with timber floor and wall mounted units overlooks the rear garden, an archway leads to the living room which enjoys a triple aspect overlooking the front, side and rear of the property. A guest wc completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, there is plenty of storage accessed from the landing and three generous sized bedrooms all of which are doubles along with a good sized bathroom.
A pedestrian gate and pathway lead to the front door and there is a spacious driveway providing off street parking for two cars. A side passage leads to the walled rear garden mainly laid out in lawn, bordered with mature shrub, tree and flower beds. Enjoying a glorious southerly orientation this is an idyllic oasis for children to play in and to enjoy outside entertaining.
