Longford Lodge, 25 Monkstown Crescent, Monkstown, Co Dublin, A94 C4H5, Ireland

Monkstown Crescent is a quintessential coastal boutique village where many flock to, but few are afforded the good fortune to reside. A pretty row of artisan shops, boutiques, eateries and specialist delicatessens line the picturesque Crescent which sits alongside the suburb's scenic coastline. Offering a wonderful way of living, it is truly no wonder that the area has grown to be one of South County Dublin's most sought after locations to live in.

Longford Lodge hides in plain sight towards the east end of the Crescent. Beyond an unassuming entryway, a private courtyard with space for both parking and leisurely outdoor living, is ready to be transformed with vibrant pots of herbs, flowers and succulents to create a picture-perfect lush retreat for relaxation. Beyond the redbrick façade, the entrance hall is both exceptionally spacious and naturally bright, attributes which are present throughout the property which generously extends to 181 m² (1950sq.ft.) approx. There are two very large interconnecting reception rooms off the entryway which give access to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is accessed from both the hall and the dining room, and it too connects to the garden. A guest w.c. and separate storage room complete the accommodation at this level. On the first floor, the large landing gives way to three impressively spacious double bedrooms, the principal of which is en-suite and there is also a nice-sized family bathroom. To the rear of the house there is a low-maintenance patio garden with large deck for outdoor dining and entertaining, pebbled area bordered by mature plants and there is also a storage shed and boiler shed.

The locality boasts a vast array of amenities, both social and essential. Along with the assortment of neighbouring popular establishments, residents of the locality enjoy great ease of access to the bustling village of Blackrock and Dun Laoghaire town centre, pier and seafront, which bookend the area. The village is served by an excellent choice of highly regarded schools, sailing, tennis and golf clubs, as well as coastal walks and wonderful spots for sea swimming. Popular transport links in the area include the Dart around the corner at Salthill providing swift access to the city centre, numerous bus routes and the area is also serviced by the Aircoach, providing direct access to the airport.
