Willow Lodge is a refined Regency residence of notable scale and presence, occupying an elevated position on one of Monkstown’s most discreet and sought-after residential roads. Extending to approximately 4,000 sq.ft. (372 sq.m) and set on a c. 0.25 acre site, the house enjoys commanding views to the rear across the rooftops of Monkstown, taking in Monkstown Parish Church and unfolding towards Dublin Bay. Presented in excellent decorative order throughout, the property offers a rare and carefully judged balance between elegant reception spaces and generous bedroom accommodation, creating a home that is as suited to refined entertaining as it is to everyday family life.

The house is approached through a fine entrance hallway, immediately setting the tone with its marble tiled floor, ornate ceiling coving and centre rose, feature archway and an elegant fanlight above the front door. From here, French doors lead, via a short flight of steps, directly to the rear garden, establishing a strong connection between the principal living spaces and the outdoors. Flanking the hallway are two superb formal reception rooms. The drawing room is a beautifully proportioned, dual-aspect space, flooded with natural light through sliding sash windows with working shutters to both front and rear. Original wide plank floorboards, intricate ceiling detailing and a striking marble chimneypiece combine to create a room of real presence and warmth. Opposite, the dining room is equally impressive, centred around an elegant Adam-style marble fireplace and offering a gracious setting for formal dining and entertaining. To the rear of the house lies a refined study/library, a calm and contemplative space with panelled walls and ceiling, bespoke shelving and elevated views over the garden and the surrounding rooftops, with Monkstown Parish Church forming a particularly attractive focal point.

The upper floors provide four generously proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying excellent natural light and outlook. The principal bedroom suite is especially impressive, benefitting from elevated views towards Dublin Bay, an excellent range of built-in wardrobes and a luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by high-quality en suite or adjacent bathroom facilities, all finished to a consistently high standard.

At garden level, the house opens into a superb kitchen/breakfast room, thoughtfully designed around a substantial feature island and anchored by a gas-fired, four-oven AGA. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, enhancing the sense of flow between inside and out. This level also incorporates a comfortable family room, utility room, a fifth bedroom, and a beautifully finished shower room, creating a highly functional and flexible living environment ideal for modern family life.
Willow Lodge stands on approximately 0.25 acre of mature and thoughtfully landscaped gardens. To the rear, an expansive Indian sandstone patio extends across the width of the house, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Raised granite walls frame a variety of mature shrubs, trees and planting, while beyond lies a generous lawned area leading to a large garden shed and breakfast patio, there is a further sunken patio bordered by olive trees which is perfectly positioned as a sheltered suntrap.

To the front and side, the property is accessed via wrought iron double gates leading to a large gravelled parking area offering space for multiple vehicles – a rare and valuable feature for a period home of this calibre. The front garden features a specimen Myrtle tree, box hedging and a granite cobble stone pedestrian path leading to the front door. The overall setting combines privacy, maturity and practicality in equal measure.
Richmond Hill is one of Monkstown’s most quietly distinguished addresses, a leafy and elevated enclave set just off Carrickbrennan Road, where period architecture, mature planting and a palpable sense of calm define the streetscape. Number 5 enjoys a particularly private setting, slightly removed from through traffic yet positioned within effortless reach of the village below.

Monkstown Village itself offers a richly textured day-to-day lifestyle, combining long-established favourites with a strong independent spirit. Artisan cafés, food stores and neighbourhood restaurants sit alongside boutiques and local services, creating a village atmosphere that is both relaxed and refined. The rhythm of daily life here is unhurried yet connected, with everything from morning coffee to evening dining easily accessed on foot.
The coastal setting is an intrinsic part of Monkstown’s appeal. From Willow Lodge, the sea is not only nearby but visually present, with elevated views stretching across rooftops towards Dublin Bay. The shoreline is moments away, offering scenic walks, sea swimming, and access to the sailing and yachting facilities of Dún Laoghaire, where the harbour, piers and marina provide a constantly changing maritime backdrop.

Transport links are excellent. The DART at Monkstown and Salthill places Dublin city centre within swift and reliable reach, while the N11 and M50 ensure convenient access to the wider city and beyond. Blackrock and Dún Laoghaire lie close at hand, each offering additional retail, dining and cultural amenities, from shopping centres and theatres to weekend markets and coastal festivals.

The area is also exceptionally well served by some of South Dublin’s most respected primary and secondary schools, together with a range of sporting and recreational facilities, making the location as practical as it is desirable.

To live on Richmond Hill is to enjoy the rare combination of elevation, outlook and tranquillity, all within walking distance of a vibrant coastal village. It is a setting that offers privacy without isolation, and a lifestyle that balances village charm, seaside living and city connectivity with quiet assurance.
