Blackrock, Co Dublin: Euro1.65m Space and seclusion in suburbia
Valerie Shanley



A REAL attraction of this 1950s semi-detached Blackrock home is the wonderful space, inside and out, with extended living areas opening to a large, secluded rear garden. Not many homes in suburban Dublin come with this level of privacy and seclusion, but Torfan, set in a quiet cul de sac at the top end of Carysfort Avenue, has grounds of 0.42 of an acre including generous offstreet parking along the front drive plus a 150ft long garden with a 200sq ft studio.

Internally, the house lives up to that spaciousness, evident from first stepping into the large hall through the glazed double doors in the entrance porch. Leading from here is a real feature of the property - the double-sized sitting room which runs the entire depth of the house and opens to the sunny back garden through French doors.

This room connects, via double doors, to a second living room with cast-iron fireplace.

The breakfast room is cosy courtesy of a Morso stove and this room in turn interconnects to the fitted kitchen which has a run of oak units with Corian worksurfaces.

Adjacent is the utility room. A family room completes the accommodation at ground floor level.

Upstairs are four bedrooms - the master room being ensuite - and the main shower room. A staircase leads up to the converted attic.

Stillorgan Park is convenient to excellent amenities including Blackrock and Stillorgan shopping centres, the Dart and QBCs. UCD and the Smurfit Business School are also within easy reach, as are a number of primary and secondary schools - all making Torfan particularly attractive to those seeking a well-placed family home.

The lowdown Address: Torfan, 8 Stillorgan Park, Blackrock, Co Dublin Details: 150sq m (1,620sq ft) semi-detached property with hall, guest cloakroom, family room, large sitting room, breakfast room, kitchen, utility, drawing room, four bedrooms, en-suite and shower room, attic room and 150ft rear garden Highlights: Set well back from road, this enviable home comes with extensive grounds and a 200sq ft studio.
