Genteel setting for Rockcliffe

IT does exactly what it says on the tin, does Rockcliffe Village. It’s a self-contained little estate on the high-value, village side of the Blackrock Road and is a bit of a haven for singles and couples.

In fact, there are a high proportion of what could be termed ‘girlie cars’ in the driveways and that, combined with the quality of the landscaping, tells you that this is a rather genteel place in which to live. The houses are mansard in style and form a low density scheme in a quiet, tree-lined location, minutes from Douglas and Mahon.

Number 8 Rockcliffe Village is just on the market with Billy Casey of Casey and Kingston and is, coincidentally, the second such property to come up in the estate, following a long lull.

No 8 has parking to the front and a lovely, colourful raised bed providing privacy from the road. Inside it’s basically open plan with the stairs leading to three good bedrooms and a bathroom.

The living room is a good size at 16’ by 15’ with a nice fireplace and oak flooring, and it leads through double doors to the dining room of 10’ by 10’. The kitchen is to the left through an archway and is a good ergonomic space with built-in units.

Off the dining room is a lean-to conservatory leading out to the rear garden which is very attractive full of pots and plants.

Heating is by gas.

The guide price is in the region of €470,000.
