An Elegant Family Residence on One of South Dublin’s Most Coveted Roads

Tucked away behind a manicured front lawn and well set back from the leafy serenity of St. Catherine’s Road, Clorane is an instantly appealing semi-detached family home offering timeless charm, generous proportions, and exceptional potential — all set within an expansive south-westerly facing garden of remarkable privacy and scale.
From the moment you arrive, Clorane impresses with its classic aesthetic and substantial frontage, providing off-street parking for several cars behind mature hedging and lawn. However, it is to the rear of the property where the true scale of the home is revealed — the beautifully maintained garden widens significantly and extends to approx. 29m (95ft), bathed in sunshine throughout the day and into the evening. A large, detached garage sits to the rear, offering a wealth of possibilities including conversion, studio space, or a home office.

Inside, the home exudes warmth and light across two thoughtfully arranged levels. The welcoming porch opens into a spacious reception hall, leading to a bright front-facing sitting room and an elegant dining room to the rear, which connects seamlessly into a conservatory and onward into the lush garden — perfect for entertaining or enjoying tranquil family moments. A well-appointed kitchen and convenient downstairs shower room complete the accommodation at ground level.

Upstairs, four generously sized double bedrooms are arranged off a broad landing, alongside a full family bathroom. Each room enjoys wonderful natural light and garden or leafy road views.

Clorane has been lovingly maintained by its current owners and is in turnkey condition, yet it also offers a discerning purchaser the opportunity to upgrade, modernise, or significantly extend to create their dream family home. The large attic space and expansive gardens to the side and rear provide further scope for development (subject to planning permission).

Positioned on the highly sought-after southern side of St. Catherine’s Road, Clorane enjoys a quiet residential setting while remaining within easy reach of every conceivable amenity. Glenageary DART station and several bus routes are just moments away, ensuring swift access to the city centre and beyond.

Within walking distance lie the vibrant coastal villages of Sandycove, Glasthule, and Dalkey — each offering a delightful selection of cafés, artisan shops, restaurants, and boutiques. Outdoor enthusiasts will revel in proximity to the scenic bathing areas of the Forty Foot, the iconic walks along Killiney and Dalkey hills, and the coastal cycleway linking Sandycove to Blackrock.

Dún Laoghaire, with its bustling marina, yacht clubs, weekly farmers’ market in the People’s Park, and walkable piers, further enhances the lifestyle offering. For families, Clorane is perfectly positioned within close reach of Dublin’s most esteemed primary and secondary schools, both public and private.

Offering charm, space, and enormous potential in equal measure, Clorane is a rare gem in one of South Dublin’s premier addresses. Whether seeking a forever family home or a project with vision, this is a property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
