A Breathtaking 4-Bedroom example of an Arts & Crafts Period Home on 0.4 Acres of Lush, Private Gardens
Welcome to Doonbeg (meaning “small fort”), a stunning Arts & Crafts Period home situated on the sought-after southern side of Silchester Road in Glenageary, Co. Dublin that would benefit from some upgrading. This well maintained residence, spanning over 2,500 sq. ft., offers a seamless blend of period charm, modern convenience, and abundant potential for future expansion to nearly double it’s size (subject to FPP). Set within 0.4 acres of enchanting, sunlit gardens, this home offers a unique opportunity for tranquil family living in a premium location.
Outdoor Living at Its Finest
The true gem of Doonbeg are its expansive, meticulously maintained gardens, offering a private sanctuary in the heart of Glenageary. The south-facing rear garden, extending to over 50 meters, is a peaceful oasis featuring mature trees, vibrant shrubs, and a sun-drenched terrace. The front garden, extending approximately 25 meters from the road, frames the home beautifully, offering a grand approach with ample off-street parking for several cars, and even space for a boat—perfect for those who enjoy coastal living.
Endless Potential for Expansion
With its generous 0.4-acre plot, Doonbeg offers ample scope for extension to double in size or add an outdoor office adaptation to suit your evolving needs (subject to planning permission). This flexibility allows you to tailor the property without compromising the beautiful, mature garden surroundings—a long-term investment in comfort, lifestyle, and value.
