A gorgeous, homely property in Terenure, 44 Fortfield Road is bright and spacious, with a beautiful green garden most only dream of.

Approached via a cobble lock driveway with ample parking space, the property is well set back from the road with a lovely leafy outlook of the front lawn. Rose beds, shrubbery and mature planting surround the property – to the front and back – offering privacy to homeowners, despite its central location. 

Inside, the ground floor level of the property comprises a covered porch which opens through to an inviting entrance hall. The reception room, which stands to one side of the house, offers dual aspect with views over the front and rear gardens complete with fireplace and patio doors. A breakfast room opens into the fully fitted kitchen area offering ample storage throughout. 

A further two reception rooms can be found on this level – one currently used as a study/office, the other as a bedroom. 

The upstairs accommodation consists of four spacious double bedrooms – two with shower ensuite facilities – and a fully fitted family bathroom. 

Nestled along a much-sought-after road in the heart of Terenure, the property is conveniently located – a mere 5km from Dublin city centre with a wide choice of bus routes. Just a few minutes’ walk from Bushy Park, there are a number of other beautiful walks nearby, along with several prestigious primary and secondary schools including Terenure College, Our Lady’s Templeogue Road, Presentation Convent, St Joseph’s Boys School and The High School Rathgar, to name but a few. 

Other amenities include a host of local bijou and boutique shopping facilities with further shopping available in Dundrum Town Centre and St. Stephen’s Green – both easily accessible from Terenure. 

Standing on substantial grounds of approximately .3 acres, the sale includes wonderful, lush, landscaped gardens – a highlight of the property. Extending to approximately 90ft, the rear garden also features a greenhouse and shed  which provide plenty of storage options. Lit with strategically placed lighting, a secret garden can be accessed through a verdant arch, screened off from the rest of the garden with a pond and garden shed. 

Maintained to a high degree throughout, the property offers enormous potential to extend and remodel should the new owners wish to do so.

Currently on the market for €1,295,000 through Lisney Sotheby’s International, you can take a full tour at this Terenure home through the gallery below…
