Ossory Lodge, Ballygihen Avenue, Sandycove, Co. Dublin

An exceptionally attractive superbly presented end of terrace two storey over garden level double fronted Victorian period residence occupying a highly sought after coastal location on the corner of Marine Parade and Ballygihen Avenue with 100ft of uninterrupted sea frontage in the heart of Sandycove boasting unparalleled sea views over Scotsman’s Bay, Sandycove Harbour, the East Pier and across to Howth, whilst enjoying secure electric gated parking for numerous cars to the front and a private lawned garden to the side.

Ossory Lodge is a bright and airy home with wonderful proportions that extend to approximately 395sq.m (4,250sq.ft) over the three levels that has maintained many of the features from the Victorian era, whilst having a large contemporary Dalkey Design handmade solid kitchen/breakfast room added to the rear of the property that opens to a rear suntrap courtyard and out to the private lawned garden that could offer further development subject to the necessary Planning Permissions.

On the hall level are the principle reception rooms, two of which are interconnecting, ideal for entertaining and enjoy the breath-taking views over Sandycove Point and out across Scotman’s Bay to Howth through the large sash windows.

At basement level there is a large double bedroom, a large TV / reception room and shower room. It has its own access from the front and could be a self-contained guest / nanny’s apartment. On the first floor there is a large master bedroom suite with stunning sea views and en suite. There are two large double bedrooms both with sea views and a single bedroom. There is also a family bathroom with large walk in shower and bath.

The property is presented in excellent decorative order throughout and has retained the period features of the Victorian era. It has been constantly upgraded over the years and has been previously leased as an embassy residence for the ambassador and his family.

This stunning family residence will be of interest to anyone looking for a prime residential property in the highly regarded coastal suburb of Sandycove. Ossory Lodge is surrounded by an excellent selection of primary and secondary schools including Castle Park, Rathdown, Holy Child, Loreto Abbey Dalkey and CBC Monkstown. The superb amenities and facilities that Dalkey and Glasthule have to offer are only a short stroll away and Dun Laoghaire Town Centre is a ten minute walk. The bus and DART are close by servicing the city centre and IFSC and the Aircoach runs to and from the airport every hour. There are popular scenic walks over Killiney and Dalkey hills and along the seafront and the four yacht clubs and extensive marina at Dun Laoghaire Harbour will be of major interest to the marine and sailing enthusiast. Access to the M50 and LUAS is an eight minute drive.
