Clonlost House
Dalkey Manor is built in the grounds of Clonlost House, a 465sq m (5,000sq ft) Victorian house until recently run as a religious retreat house. Clonlost is being refurbished by Dalkey Manor developer Ecologic Design & Build, and is due to go on the market before the end of the year with an asking price of €2.5 million.
Dalkey Manor is near the top of Killiney Road, a short walk from the entrance to Fitzpatrick Castle. The development is not to be confused with a 2.32-acre site and six-bedroom house on nearby Barnhill Road, also called Dalkey Manor, which went on sale for €7 million in April this year.
A lot of what’s on show in the smart showhouse comes as standard: that includes a limestone fireplace with wood-effect gas fire in the livingroom, two side-by-side integrated fridge freezers and Silestone-topped island unit and countertops in the kitchen and a large walk-in dressingroom in the main bedroom on the top floor.
Underfloor heating
The homes all have underfloor heating and an energy efficient heat pump heating system.
The showhome’s kitchen/ diningroom is a large bright large open-plan space with porcelain-tiled floors, a decent-sized utility room, and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors opening on to the back patio and 36ft-long landscaped back garden.
The first floor livingroom at the front of the house is very large; there’s also a double and a single bedroom and fully-tiled family bathfloor-to-ceiling sliding doors opening onto the back patio and 36ft-long landscaped back gardenroom – with standard Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware – on this floor. The main bedroom on the top floor has a 12ft high ceiling and en suite wetroom with a walk-in shower, as well as a second en suite double bedroom.
Outside, there’s parking for two cars. There will be an annual service charge of about €600.
Rathfarnham-based builder Michael Kilkenny is the principal of Ecologic Design, a firm that built recent developments in Dún Laoghaire such as Kensington Manor on Rochestown Avenue and Cluny Manor on nearby Avondale Road.
