The empty, spacious plot adjacent to property number 6 in South Park, Foxrock could potentially appeal to developers looking for locations to construct bespoke buildings in southern County Dublin. Manifestly, any such ambitions would be contingent upon obtaining essential planning approval.
Constructed in the 1960s, the South Park estate continually appeals to families due to its large, detached houses situated along the N11. For some time the house at number 6 has been leased, therefore a minimal amount of remodelling has been executed, providing a clean slate for potential restorers. However, it has all the essential components plus a substantial 0.37-acre site at the rear.
Up for sale through Savills, the detached property featuring four bedrooms is on the market for €1 million. The property is conveniently located near the estate entrance, a cobblestone driveway leading to the front entrance aside from the porch. Entering the property, one finds a hallway with a guest cloakroom, giving way to reception rooms on either side. The room on the left is ideally fitted as a cosy relaxation space, with direct access to the breakfast room behind it.
Adjacent to the right are the interconnected living and dining rooms, with original breeze-block walls that, despite their historical popularity, would optimally benefit from resurfacing. Dining room French doors lead directly to the backyard.
The cheerful, sunlit kitchen has a tiled floor and older units and appliances, which new owners will presumably plan to update. There’s undeniable scope to introduce an extension towards the back garden – given the appropriate planning approval- merging the three back rooms to generate an impressive open floor area. The total area of the existing house spans 140 square metres (1,506 square feet), with a Ber rating of C1.
Four bedrooms comprise the upstairs quarters. The master bedroom comes equipped with an en suite, built-in wardrobes, and two windows. A smaller bedroom is currently utilised as a study and the main bathroom is likewise located here.
The rear garden houses raised beds and a flourishing acer tree, as well as a gate leading to the plot behind the property, which abuts the N11. Naturally, there’s the opportunity to invigorate the garden with a fresh look. The space could easily accommodate a tennis court or a home playing field.
The Cornelscourt shopping complex is within close proximity, and the N11 bus route can be easily reached from the estate’s entrance. Cabinteely Park offers delightful local strolls, and there are an abundance of leisure facilities nearby, such as the Leopardstown racetrack, Foxrock Golf Club, and Carrickmines Lawn Tennis club. Access to the M50 motorway is a quick drive away, and the renowned UCD University is situated further along the road. Additionally, many of south Dublin’s elite schools are conveniently located within an easy reach.
