A simple but sizeable garden made for family life in Dundrum

For Sale

A suburban garden that is 50 square metres in size, with scope to extend out to the side in time, this is a fine three-bedroom Dundrum house that a family can move into now and start planning the next phase.

Don’t let the façade of this house fool you. It hides sizeable side and back gardens that extend to one sixth of an acre.

Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in Balally, an estate of solid semis with decent gardens where many had had the scope to extend out to the side into the garage and go up above it.

Address: 23 Balally Close, Dundrum, Dublin 16, D16 KH31

The hall

You will see this throughout the development. Its location is also incredibly central.

Its proximity to the eponymous green Luas stop and to Dundrum Town Centre is invaluable, and yet it feels very far removed from the frenetic pace there.

At its heart, number 23 Balally Close, just off Balally Park, is a solid three-bedroom, one-bathroom family home.

The living room

It has a small porch, and off its hall is an interconnecting ground floor.

The living room is at the front. Its walls are painted a dark grey.

You can access the dining room through double doors leading through from the living room, or from the hall.

Its chimney breast is painted a deep anthracite grey and has light from a window on the side and from an opening leading into the kitchen.

The dining room

Running along the back of the property, the shaker kitchen units are painted a soft sage green, and the ceiling has timber panelling. Double doors open out to one of two terraces.

It has a south-facing back garden that is larger than most.

Professionally designed and measuring about 50 square metres, the owners have mapped out the suntrap spaces with paved areas laid in large-format porcelain tiles.

One is off the kitchen at the back of the house.

The kitchen

The other follows the sun and is sheltered by a tall evergreen hedge and the perimeter walls beyond.

There’s also a block built detached garage that measures about 35 square metres.

The principal bedroom

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single. These have large windows, making them light-filled.

The property measures 107 square metres, and there is scope to extend into the attic and out to the side, where there is considerable space to enlarge the home, subject to planning and additional funds.
