Three-bed renovated 1940s council house on sale for €695,000

Ellen O'Donoghue

No 130 Oliver Plunkett Road is a property that blends history and artistry.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom property is located in the Monkstown Farm development.

It was originally a 1940s council house that has been renovated and extended to preserve its original character while incorporating modern design elements.

The addition of the extension fills the home with natural light, and the owners spent over a decade transforming it.

The driveway is lined with Victorian cobblestones salvaged from London’s Kings Cross Railway Station while the façade is adorned with reclaimed bricks from a former Methodist church. A pineapple door knocker adds a quirky, personal touch.

The residence opens to an entrance hall that connects to the living areas.

On the ground floor, you will find a kitchen, and an open-plan living and dining area with doors opening to a landscaped garden.

The living room features a wood stove and a polished concrete floor.

Downstairs you will also find versatile sitting room or bedroom.

Two double bedrooms, including a primary with a Juliet balcony, will be found upstairs, alongside a shower room.

The home has a BER rating of B3, with both double- and triple-glazed windows, an energy-efficient central heating system, and high-quality insulation.

The private driveway and front garden outside lead to a side entrance, while the rear garden is home to rare palm trees and home to Ireland’s only Bolivian coconut palm and benefits from the warmth of westerly sunlight.

The home is located in a family-friendly area and is set near primary and secondary schools.

Local amenities including shops, pharmacies and cafés are nearby while Dún Laoghaire is just moments away.

Public transport options include a bus route and DART services making it convenient to commute to the city centre, while the M50 and M11 motorways are also easily accessible.
