The Shottery, Kilmore Avenue, Killiney, Co. Dublin, A96KV81

• Beach 2 minutes away via direct pedestrian access • DART 4 minutes away by foot, commute without using a car • Views of the sea and Killiney Hill • c.1 acre of mature peaceful gardens Set amidst an oasis of peace and tranquillity, Shottery is an impressive double fronted bungalow residence, dating back to circa 1925, standing detached on stunning terraced well stocked landscaped gardens and grounds of approximately 0.4 Ha (1 acre) offering unrivalled, breath-taking sea views over Killiney Bay with Dalkey Island and Sorrento Terrace in the distance. Shottery is a type of home that people aspire to own and is positioned in this highly prestigious residential address where the surrounding properties are mature, settled and of a similar calibre. It offers a rare refurbishment or redevelopment opportunity and many of the neighbouring properties show what can really be attained. The property offers gracious, generously proportioned accommodation extending to approximately 229 sq.m (2,465 sq.ft). An inviting reception hall with timber panelled wainscoting opens to the inner lobby/cloak hanging area and main hall which in turn connects to the light infused living areas to include two very fine reception rooms overlooking the rear garden, a morning room, a delightful and spacious kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceiling, four very fine bedrooms, two of which enjoy en-suites, family shower room and a utility room opening to the inner courtyard area with ancillary buildings. This magnificent home has been wonderfully maintained and is presented in good decorative order throughout. It has retained many embellishments of the era such as high ceilings, timber panelled walls, picture rails, fireplaces, doors and handles. One of the main outstanding features of Shottery are the mature gardens on offer, abundant with an array of maturely planted flower and shrubbery beds, rockery, bordered by high hedging, tall trees, also incorporating a pond once a popular spot enjoyed by Samuel Beckett on his many visits to see his brother, a vegetable garden and at the very bottom the original tennis court together with a garage providing excellent storage and off-street car parking to the front. There are two elevated generous patio areas strategically positioned to make full benefit of the south and west sun. This is a much sought after and highly convenient location being positioned off Saintbury Avenue and Kilmore Avenue, a short distance from the conveniences at Killiney village and the pleasant walks by Killiney beach, the seafront and over Killiney and Dalkey Hills. Dalkey Heritage Town is just a bit further down the road and offers a vast array of local and boutique shops, banks and hostelries. It also houses some of the finest restaurants in South County Dublin, which are very popular and regularly frequented. At the foot of the garden a private pedestrian gate opens to a right of way that accesses Killiney Beach and the DART station on Strand Road in minutes. The area has a selection of excellent primary and secondary schools and is well serviced by transport with Killiney DART station located on Strand Road at the foot of Kilmore Avenue together with the LUAS at Cherrywood a little further afield. Within just a short drive is the junction with the N11 and M50 connecting to the arterial road network offering an easy commute to the city centre and airport. As Shottery occupies a coastal position, the marine facilities at Dun Laoghaire harbour, with its extensive marina and four yacht clubs and piers, will be of major interest to the marine and sailing enthusiast.
