A very large detached bungalow at the bottom of a cul-de-sac that backs on to Killiney Golf Club is bright, spacious and very recently freshened up for sale. Walls are painted white, glazed interior doors maximise light in the house and the overall impression – even on an overcast day – is of space and light.
The four/five-bed property comprises 242sq m (2,600sq ft) and is for sale through DNG for €1.45 million. Killiney Heath is a 1970s suburban development hidden away off Killiney Avenue near Killiney Hill Road.
The two winning rooms in number 9 are the large livingroom at the front of the house – which has floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding patio doors onto a large balcony with dramatic views of the Dublin and Wicklow mountains – and the large reception room – described as a sunroom – which has a high arched ceiling with Velux windows, a parquet floor, floor-to-ceiling windows and French windows onto another balcony at the front.

The front door at the side of the house opens into a good-sized entrance hall with a chair and a white-painted cast-iron fireplace. The hall leads from here past the livingroom, diningroom and into the kitchen/breakfastroom which has laminate countertops and laminate tile-effect flooring. It’s a very bright space, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking onto the back garden. A breakfast bar divides the kitchen from the parquet-floored breakfastroom.
The bedrooms – one currently used as a family room – open off the L-shaped hall, two at the front, two at the back of the house. The main bedroom has a box bay window opening onto the back garden, a walk-in dressingroom and an en suite with an unusual sunken bath with a shower over it.
A staircase in the front livingroom leads down to a self-contained studio with its own entrance that could be a teenager’s/au pair’s/granny’s flat: it has a kitchenette off it and a bathroom.
The private, pretty back garden is in lawn, sheltered by very tall trees. It slopes up towards the trees and a steep path.
To the front electronic gates open to a long drive past tall, clipped hedges, where there’s ample room for parking.
