3 rooms house of 347 m² in Blackrock

5 Belgrave Square North comprises a magnificent mid terrace Victorian residence in a highly desirable location in the heart of Monkstown. The property is currently laid out over 3 floors and comes to the rental market in excellent condition. A flight of granite steps leads to the reception hall with many intact period details including original cornice work. The interconnecting ground floor reception rooms boast high ceilings and two matching period fireplaces. The bay window of the first reception room is south facing and captures the sun all day long, as well as giving a pleasant view over the ‘residents only’ park at the centre of Belgrave Square. A well-equipped kitchen and a useful guest . complete the accommodation on this floor. On the first landing there is a spacious family bathroom. At first floor level there are two spacious rooms, one bedroom and a second room which spans the entire width of the house and gives wonderful views over the square. This room is currently used as a quiet reading room and study but was previously used as a wonderful master bedroom. At second floor level there is a third spacious and well-lit bedroom. Belgrave Square is a highly convenient location only a few minutes’ walk from the bustling village of Monkstown with its wide selection of boutique shops, pubs, restaurants and provisioners, including the ever-popular Avoca food store. Further exclusive shopping options are available in neighbouring Blackrock village, just a pleasant stroll away. Some of the country’s leading schools are close to Belgrave Square. At primary level these include Scoil Lorcain which lies immediately beside the square, and Castle Park School in nearby Dalkey. Secondary level options include Blackrock College, St Andrew’s College Blackrock, and Loretto Abbey Dalkey, all just a short Dart-ride away. There are many recreational and leisure activities available close to the house including sea-swimming at Seapoint, just metres from the door, or at the Forty-Foot in nearby Sandycove Sporting venues such as rugby, hockey, bowling and tennis clubs abound locally, for example Monkstown Lawn Tennis club and Blackrock (Green Road) Tennis Club….. The four yacht clubs and the extensive marina at Dun Laoghaire Harbour will be of major interest to sailing enthusiasts, while the two piers at Dun Laoghaire are a constant draw for walkers and runners. Easy access to the new coastal cycle route towards either Dun Laoghaire or Howth provides ample opportunity for scenic cycles. A regular bus service and both Salthill/Monkstown and Seapoint DART stations only a few minutes’ walk away, make commuting to schools and the city centre exceptionally easy. It is rare for a house of this quality to come to the rental market, and rarer still for it to have all the amenity offered by this unique and beautiful location. Early viewing is highly recommended. Lease available from one year, from April.
