Description
Welcome to Sefton - a truly special family home in this most convenient and picturesque location! Well proportioned, light-filled, warm interiors coupled with beautiful colourful gardens, all combine harmoniously with the charm and character synonymous with properties of the early 1900s. Further complemented and indeed enhanced by this wonderful prime location, with excellent schools, regular DART and bus services, seafront walks, in addition to the wealth of amenities of nearby Monkstown, Blackrock and Dun Laoghaire all on your doorstep.
Situated on picturesque Belgrave Road with its distinctive properties, each one prettier than the next, Sefton is well set back from the road. Standing at the pedestrian gate, gazing up the long mature gardens you set eyes on the attractive exterior with stained glass entrance door, part red brick façade and two full bay windows. It is immediately evident you are about to view something special.
Internally the accommodation will not fail to impress. Cleverly and tastefully extended by its current owners with busy family living in mind, the accommodation flows very well. The entrance hallway is particularly inviting and incorporates a guest w.c./cloakroom combined with under stairs storage. Two interconnecting reception rooms with original fireplaces enjoy the benefits of the east/west orientation. The front living room has a wonderful large bay window whilst the family room overlooks the rear patio and magical gardens. An impressive extended kitchen/dining room with functional utility room complete the accommodation at this level.
Upstairs the sense of light, warmth, space, and atmosphere continues. There are three fine double bedrooms, a smaller single room, and a good-sized family bathroom at first floor level. A clever attic conversion is currently in use as a bedroom with shower en-suite, making it ideal for a nanny or indeed teenager's den. Use it as your needs require.
Also noteworthy are the delightful gardens, a profusion of colour all year long, they are well planted and tended. The rear garden measures an impressive L.87' x W.29' max (approx.) and provides for both gated pedestrian and vehicular access from a private laneway. The large garage (L.20'10" x W.12'6" approx.) can accommodate one car in addition to storage for the family's accoutrements. Similarly, it would make an ideal games/playroom. Use it as you will. The rear garden itself was cleverly designed around maximising the south-east orientation. Two patios at opposite ends of the garden enjoy the early morning and late evening sunshine, respectively. The neatly manicured lawn is bordered by well stocked beds with external spotlighting. Undoubtedly a place for the entire family to enjoy.
The location itself really needs little introduction, with a wealth of amenities on your doorstep. A choice selection of some of Dublin's finest primary and secondary schools, shops, bijou eateries and picturesque seafront walks are all close by. Both Seapoint and Salthill DART stations are a gentle stroll away. The sailing clubs of Dun Laoghaire and shopping facilities of Blackrock are also within walking distance.
Sefton is something quite special and indeed provides both a rare and exciting opportunity for the discerning buyer to acquire a wonderful property on this much sought after road. Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the extent and wealth of the accommodation, gardens, and location on offer. Accommodation
