A home for life on leafy Nutley Park with private rear and front gardens for €1.295m

Taking its name from Nutley House, the late neoclassical Georgian mansion from 1820 thought to have been designed by prominent Cork architect Richard Morrison, Nutley Park was first developed in the late 1920s after 13 acres were sold for development.

No 36 Nutley Park, a lovely three-bedroom semi-detached house in the leafy surrounds of this mature residential development off Nutley Lane, has just been launched to the market through DNG.

It is accessed from the front via a cobblelock driveway, which has ample parking for two to three vehicles.

An executor sale, the house extends to 149sq m (1,600sq ft), but there is potential to convert two garages adjacent to the front door to give more accommodation — subject to planning. Some properties on the road have added a double-height extension (where a garage once stood) so there is precedence for that, and it would result in a much larger house.

Internally, on the ground floor both the living room and lounge have marble fireplaces, while the dining room, which has good proportions, has access to the rear garden via patio doors. The garden itself benefits from total privacy, as it is fully enclosed and enjoys uninterrupted views of Elm Park Golf Club and fairways.

The quiet cul-de-sac off Nutley Lane is much sought after for its proximity to the local golf and tennis club, Merrion Cricket Club, Merrion Shopping Centre and south Dublin’s top schools such as Muckross Park, The Teresians, Coláiste Íosagáin and St Andrew’s.

Just 4km from the city centre, which is easily accessed via the Quality Bus Corridor (QBC) and the Dart, which is within walking distance. A regular Aircoach service to Dublin Airport takes about 30 minutes.

Houses here tend to be homes for life, and are especially popular with young families as it is a quiet, low-traffic cul de sac. The property has a BER of E2 — which will need to be addressed — and could also do with being upgraded. It is on the market through DNG, seeking €1.295 million.
