HouseDublin (Ireland)

No 43 Strand Road ‘Coxteth’ is a period property from c.1895. A beautifully designed Victorian 4 bedroom family home of some distinction positioned at the seas edge along Strand Road. Internally the accommodation extends to approximately 2,800qft with another 500sqft on the second floor in the roof space. The property is quite unique from a number of perspectives and is sure to create enormous interest if offered for sale. Architecturally protected, there is ornate detail throughout this fine home inside and out. Where the house is situated on Strand Road and in particular the position on the peninsula affords the house almost unrivalled views Dublin Bay to the South of 180 degrees. Furthermore, there is rear vehicular access and room to extend the property with a two storey garage / loft annexed to the main building. Beyond the back yard there is over half an acre of land which could potentially be developed, subject to the necessary planning permission. The house has been very well maintained as a family home for close to 50 years. ‘Croxteth’ is a fantastic house which presents a unique opportunity for the new owners to create their dream home.
The accommodation is laid out over three floors and almost 3,000sqft most of which enjoys panoramic views of Dublin Bay. A semi-detached four-bay two-storey house with gablets to dormer attic, Built C.1900, with a gabled end bay to the right. Ornate timber veranda to ground floor and double pitched red tile roof with gable front and beautiful timber veranda. A distinguished residence which has been in one family for most of the last century and is now ready for new owners to take the baton. Although the structure is protected there is great potential to the rear to add to the existing floorplate subject to planning permission. The main house is bursting with character and period features from ornate plaster detail to door frames and architraves, fireplaces and stained glass. The house is as pretty as a postcard with abundant period detail throughout but as soon as your inside your eye is drawn to Dublin Bay and the views on the horizon with a stunning vista from almost every room.
Situated on a remote part of the peninsula yet close enough to Sutton Village and the DART station to be convenient. From the veranda to the front of the house you could pass the time watching merchant ships and ferries glide in to and out of Dublin Port, and the boats that sail out from Dun Laoghaire or the colourful local dinghies and kite surfers bobbing on the waves. The views at night with twinkling lights from across the bay are just as mesmerising and walks by the lapping shore after dark are a select pleasure all year round. Strand Road in Sutton is one of the most highly sought-after residential addresses in north county Dublin and for good reason. It is a mature residential road of quality family homes with immediate and exceptional views of and access to the sea. It is exceptionally well located close to all the amenities the penninsula has to offer. Nearby are Howth Golf Club, St Fintan’s National School and Sutton Park school. It is only a few minutes’ drive to the thriving seaside village of Howth with its selection of renowned restaurants, shops and Howth Yacht club for the sailing enthusiasts. There are DART stations in Howth and Sutton and well-serviced bus route passes the front door. Dublin City is only 12km away and Dublin International Airport is approximately a 25-minute drive.
Primed to attract attention from buyers both locally and internationally, it’s easy to say that this is an opportunity not to be missed. In Dublin, an increasingly built-up city, houses with such long unimpeded sea views, such access to the shore, such peace and tranquillity are vanishingly rare and, into the future, will be rarer still. ‘Croxteth’ was and continues to be a genuine once-off, a gem, an unmissable opportunity.
