Immaculate bungalow ideal in mature city location

A HORSESHOE of houses off Coach Hill has the official townland designation of Monsfieldstown, but is better known by its Rochestown address.

Close to Garryduff Sports Club, the Belmont estate is a mature, settled community with a low density group of houses.

Flanked by new estates along the road, (including the super-sized, exclusive Eyrecourt), this little enclave has a mix of one-offs in varying styles, and one of these is now on the market with Dermot Lynch of James G Coughlan and Associates.

Number 7 Belmont is an immaculately-maintained bungalow, he says, and has an equally good, quarter-acre garden.

In fact, it’s a wild-life haven, says Lynch and the garden alone should have buyers champing at the bit — it’s that good.

Built and bought in the late seventies, (through the same agent), no 7 Belmont is a definite bet for trader-uppers, not only because of its mature and handy location, but also because the estate is safe for children and comes with a green located at the end of the cul-de-sac.

A standard bungalow, it could invoke visions of demolition for those prepared to pay the asking price of €575,000 for a site, but as it stands the four-bedroom bungalow is more than adequate for family needs.

Rooms include a lounge, with double doors from the hallway, a kitchen/ dining/ TV room with fitted kitchen area and breakfast bar and four bedrooms.

The fourth bedroom is a bit snug and could double as a study, or a place to park the cross-trainer. The master bedroom is also ensuite.

There is the option to extend, as the site is a good size and isn’t overlooked at the rear, but it would nearly be a shame to spoil such a lovely garden.
