Address:<\/strong> Rockmount, Sorrento Road, Dalkey, Co Dublin<\/p>\n

Price:<\/strong> \u20ac2,850,000 <\/p>\n

Agent:<\/strong> Sherry FitzGerald<\/p>\n

Rockmount, located at the junction of Dalkey<\/a>\u2019s Sorrento and Victoria roads is an elegant, double-fronted early Victorian four-bed, now for sale through Sherry FitzGerald<\/a> seeking \u20ac2.85 million. Semidetached and well set back from the road, it has a generous gravel drive, behind iron gates, that can accommodate up to three cars. <\/p>\n

The entrance hall, with polished timber floors, decorative ceiling coving, cornicing and an archway, has four reception rooms leading off it on either side. To the left is a formal pair of interconnected rooms, a drawingroom and a diningroom. The owners opened up the space, so it is a bright dual-aspect room, with black marble fireplaces. The Ber is C3.<\/p>\n

On the far side of the hall is a relaxed sittingroom with some well-built cabinetry, and another fine marble fireplace with an open fire. Behind it is a family room that would serve either as a children\u2019s den, a music room or a private home office. <\/p>\n

A flight of original narrow stairs leads down to the basement, which has been renovated and is in striking contrast to the period feel of the rest of the 273sq m (2,938sq ft) home. The centrepiece of the large L-shaped basement room is a kitchen by Alno, with a peninsular island topped with granite. <\/p>\n

The living area at its end opens on to a small, sun-filled patio just under the garden\u2019s front steps. Doors at the back of the dining area open on to the garden, and completing the accommodation at this level is a large shower room and a comprehensive utility room with an expansive bank of units and laundry appliances; it has enough room for an exercise bike. <\/p>\n

There are four bedrooms on the first floor. The rooms to the rear, a bedroom and a bathroom, provide panoramic views over Howth. The main bathroom is quite special, with a view that stretches as far as Howth, encompassing Dublin Bay. <\/p>\n

Another bedroom also lies to the back of the house, overlooking the garden and the sea. There are three more rooms to the front of the house \u2013 a single room, a double, and the main bedroom, which has an en suite with roof light, and plenty of built-in wardrobes. <\/p>\n

The garden is lovely, with well-tended hydrangeas clustered around a young birch tree. It is split level with separate patios and it is a great space for entertaining or relaxing. A passage to the side opens back to the front of the house, and a paddleboard propped up among the bikes is indicative of just how close this property is to Coliemore Harbour. <\/p>\n

Rockmount is well situated in the heart of Dalkey, a short stroll from both the seafront and the town and its renowned restaurants, shops, pubs and cafes. There are a number of schools nearby.<\/p>\n

Dalkey has a wealth of sport facilities, including swimming at the aforementioned Coliemore Harbour as well as the Vico swimming spot which is a short cycle away, and bracing walks on Killiney Hill. <\/p>\n
