Dublin Dream Homes: Idyllic bungalow with sprawling garden is steeped in history

This striking double fronted bungalow residence will instantly take your breath away with its stunning facade.

Described as "an oasis of peace and tranquillity" the gorgeous home stands on 1 acre of beautifully landscaped gardens.

The stunning property offers jaw dropping views over Killiney Bay with Dalkey Island and Sorrento Terrace in the distance.

The rear garden is a treat for the eyes with an array of maturely planted flower and shrubbery beds, rockery, bordered by high hedging, tall trees, a vegetable garden, and at the very bottom the original tennis court .

Also found in the garden is a pond which was once a popular spot enjoyed by author Samuel Beckett on his many visits to see his brother.

The residence has retained many embellishments of the era such as high ceilings, timber panelled walls, picture rails, fireplaces, doors, and handles.

The first thing you will notice when you walk in is the inviting reception hall with timber panelled wainscoting which opens to the inner lobby/cloak hanging area and the main hall which in turn connects to the light infused living areas to include two very fine reception rooms overlooking the rear garden.

The home has a morning room, a delightful and spacious kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceiling, four very fine bedrooms, two of which enjoy en-suites, a family shower room and a utility room opening to the inner courtyard area with ancillary buildings.

Shottery, Kilmore Avenue Killiney is on sale for €2.5 million through Lisney. To view more, check out Perfect Property.
