It is only a few minutes’ walk from the superb amenities in Dalkey Town Centre, the DART and the seafront.
This stunning property oozes charm and character and its bright and airy wonderfully proportioned accommodation extends to approximately 195sq.m (2,100sq.ft) and has been very well-maintained throughout. It comes to the market in excellent decorative order. The property is an upside down house with the living accommodation upstairs to take full advantage of the wonderful sea views, whilst the bedroom accommodation is at garden level. The nature and design of double fronted houses are such that in general all of the rooms are symmetrical and of the same size.
A particular feature of Carrig Baun is the large balcony at first floor level that is accessed off the kitchen and dining room and spans the entire width of the house. From its elevated position it provides stunning sea views across to Howth and the Kish Bank Lighthouse with glimpses of Snowdonia National Park in Wales on very clear days. To the front wrought iron vehicular gates open into secure gravelled off street parking for a number of cars, a complete rarity in Dalkey. The rear garden is very private and not overlooked. It is bordered by high hedging, trees and planting and is laid out in lawn. The garden measures approximately 29m (95ft) in length.
Rockfort Avenue connects Sorrento Road with Coliemore Road and is positioned right in the heart of the Heritage Town of Dalkey. Dalkey is one of the most appealing sought after locations in South County Dublin to live in, as it is surrounded by a wide selection of primary and secondary schools including Loreto Abbey Dalkey, Castle Park and the Harold National School whilst the DART in the town services Blackrock College, St. Andrew’s College, St. Michael’s College and the city centre. Dalkey provides a plethora of local and specialist shops, cafes, delicatessens, bars and some of the finest restaurants in South County Dublin.
Carrig Baun is a short stroll from Coliemore Harbour and the hugely popular Vico bathing area. It enjoys scenic tranquil walks along the seafront and over Dalkey/Killiney hills. There are excellent sporting and recreation facilities to be enjoyed close by such as Cuala GAA/Dalkey United, tennis, hockey and rugby clubs with a host of fitness clubs and gyms also within close proximity. The four yacht clubs and extensive marina will be of major interest to the marine and sailing enthusiast.

Dalkey is one of South County Dublin’s most scenic coastal suburbs, and a favoured spot to settle down in for Dublin celebrities (famously home to Bono, Enya, Neil Jordan and recently, a spot of respite for Matt Damon during filming!). The town’s name is originally derived from the Irish ‘Deilg Inis’ which translates to Thorn Island, now known as Dalkey Island, located just off the coast near Coliemore Harbour.
Dalkey is one of South County Dublin’s most scenic coastal suburbs, and a favoured spot to settle down in for Dublin celebrities (famously home to Bono, Enya, Neil Jordan and recently, a spot of respite for Matt Damon during filming!). The town’s name is originally derived from the Irish ‘Deilg Inis’ which translates to Thorn Island, now known as Dalkey Island, located just off the coast near Coliemore Harbour. The town is steeped in history and there are no less than seven medieval castles in the area dating from the 1400s.
Dalkey’s seafront homes and charming village atmosphere have been popular for artists, writers, musicians and actors, all drawn to the town’s stunning coastline and natural beauty. Castle Street, Dalkey’s main thoroughfare, is lined with top-quality restaurants, cafes, pubs and specialty shops. Local favourites 1909 Restaurant and Wine Bar, Ragazzi and The Grapevine are just a few top-end dining experiences in the heart of Dalkey village.
There are a number of recreational amenities in the surrounding area. Dalkey is home to the beloved Vico Baths, a popular destination for sea swimmers, as well as Cuala GAA club. There is a choice of excellent schools, both primary and secondary, in the area. Although the town offers a way of life you’ll be hesitant to leave, getting into Dublin city centre is easy via a number of bus routes, DART and Aircoach. Local schools in the immediate vicinity include Loreto Dalkey Primary and Secondary, St Patrick’s National School and Harold Boys.
Dalkey is a gem found just outside Dublin city, with a year-long calendar of cultural events, restaurants, outdoor amenities and shops that have made it one of Dublin’s most popular destinations for both tourists and residents.
