Description
8 Priory Avenue is a most impressive and indeed expansive family home which has been thoroughly enjoyed by the current owners for nearly 30 years. Rarely does the opportunity arise to purchase a magnificent double fronted property standing on 0.75 acres of private and secluded south facing gardens which include a tennis court and swimming pool.
Measuring approximately 407 sq.m. (4,380 sq.ft.), the well laid out accommodation enjoys excellent continuity and flow throughout. The ground floor briefly comprises a large reception hall which leads to the well fitted study which in turn leads to the very fine drawing room. There is also a dining room, family room and large kitchen/living/breakfast room all overlooking the landscaped gardens. The ground floor also includes a further bedroom with ensuite, a utility with further storage and guest w.c. On the first floor there are five double bedrooms (two ensuite) and a family bathroom.
A particular feature of this important property is the spectacular grounds that measure 0.75 acres. To the front of the property there is a large double driveway with cobble lock, mature hedging, lawn area, carport and gated side passage. To the rear there is a stunning south facing private and secluded landscaped garden with large patio area, lawn, swimming pool, tennis court, pool house with sauna, hot tub and changing facilities, vegetable garden and mature trees.
Priory Avenue is a much sought-after residential road being close to the vibrant village of Blackrock, with a vast array of cafes, pubs, restaurants, as well as two shopping centres and boutique shops to enjoy. Public transport facilities including the DART at Blackrock and Booterstown and numerous bus routes make commuting to the city centre and surrounding areas extremely easy. There are various creches, primary and secondary schools nearby and the residence is close to both UCD and the Smurfit Graduate School of Business. Leisure and recreational facilities nearby include beautiful walks through Blackrock and Carysfort Parks, tennis and rugby clubs as well as four yacht clubs and a marina at nearby Dun Laoghaire for the sailing enthusiasts.
This is a truly spectacular family home and early viewing is highly recommended. Accommodation
