Slane Lodge family home settled and in a superb Bishopstown location

HAVING built anew in the rear garden, with separate access to their new home, the long-time occupants of Slane Lodge are selling up this extended five-bed detached family home at the junction of Bishopstown Avenue and Convent Lane, near the rear entrance to the CUH campus.

The area’s been popular for medics and academics for decades, with consequent high residential values, and on this score — the ‘three Ls of location, location, location’ — estate agent Johnny O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald guides this one-off at €725,000.

Sort of side-set on its site to Bishopstown Avenue, it’s quite an unusual build, and was originally built as a flat-roofed design back in the mid 1900s, but the current owners made it more two-storey with a traditional pitched roof.
