An annex was added in approximately 1890 to the west gable end and there is an abundance of period features throughout including sliding sash windows, high ceilings, original chimney pieces, a granite façade, and cast-iron downpipes. The Manse is a protected structure (RPS No. 908) and now presents new owners with a wonderful opportunity to renovate subject to the necessary planning permission and create a fantastic family home.
The light filled accommodation extends to approximately 296sq.m (3,186sq.ft) and is configured as follows: an entrance porch opening into a gracious reception hall. Off this there are interconnecting reception rooms which would have originally been one room and could easily be reinstated. To the other side of the hall there is a drawing room and to the rear there is a large kitchen/breakfast that opens out to a courtyard. On the ground floor of the annex there is a living room and a kitchenette. Upstairs on the first floor there are six bedrooms and three bathrooms and there is a lovely outlook from the bedrooms on the northern side down York Road with a sea view from bedroom no. 5. The property is approached via a pedestrian gate opening onto York Road and there is a vehicular right of way through the main gate of the church. To the front of the property there is ample space for off street parking, it is currently laid out in lawn and measures approximately 12m x 12m with gated pedestrian access to the southern side opening into the side passageway and courtyard. To the rear there is a wonderful west facing garden which is laid out in lawn, measuring approximately 16m long x 12m wide, with a pedestrian right of way through the original entrance to the annex.
This superb family residence is located in a much sought after and highly desirable area of Dun Laoghaire just a short distance from the town centre, DART and bus services. There are a wide range of excellent facilities and amenities in Dun Laoghaire and Monkstown that include local and boutique specialist shops, shopping centres, cafes, bars, and some of the finest restaurants in South County Dublin.

The neighbourhood
The neighbourhood
Dun Laoghaire has had its share of monikers over the years. Initially established as Dun Leary, then renamed Kingstown in honour of King George IV’s 1821 visit, it is now known in the original Irish spelling as Dun Laoghaire. One thing has stayed the same, however — the area’s popularity with residents and tourists alike!
Dun Laoghaire has a rich history as a major port, once being the largest in the country, as well as the endpoint for Ireland’s first railway.

Dun Laoghaire has a rich history as a major port, once being the largest in the country, as well as the endpoint for Ireland’s first railway. Today it is a well-established village with a wide array of shops, restaurants, pubs, cinemas, and of course, plenty of recreational activities. Dun Laoghaire locals enjoy everything from dining at favourites such as Bistro Le Monde, to sea swimming at the Forty Foot, catching a show at the Pavilion Theatre or any number of marine activities in one of Dun Laoghaire’s four yacht clubs. On Sundays, The People’s Park draws huge numbers of both stallholders and visitors to their famous Farmers’ Market.
Located within 10 kilometres from Dublin City Centre, Dun Laoghaire is extremely well served by public transport. The DART line offers 20-minute trips from the city centre, and there are excellent bus routes in the area along with the Aircoach servicing Dublin Airport. There are numerous schools in the area, with some of Dublin’s top-rated primary and secondary schools located close by.
