Developers involved in the delivery of accommodation aimed towards the upper end of Dublin’s private residential sector (PRS) and owner-occupier market will be interested in the sale of 1 Knocknacree Road in Dalkey. The property, which occupies a prime location at the Ardeevin Road junction adjoining the railway line and overlooking Sorrento Road and Nerano Road, is being offered to the market by Robert Colleran Property Consultants at a guide price of €2 million.

The subject property, which is conveniently located less than 600m to the south of Dalkey village, occupies a site of 0.08 hectares (0.2 acres) and is zoned as ‘Objective A – Residential’. The existing house is a large two-storey structure of 185.5sq m (2,000sq ft).

A town planning appraisal prepared by Hughes Planning & Development Consultants suggests the site could accommodate an infill development of a contemporary design and comprising a terrace of three to four large townhouses or 12 apartments, subject to compliance with the local development plan.

Robert Colleran says: “This is a rare opportunity to acquire a prime residential development site in Dalkey, which overlooks Sorrento Road, with panoramic views over Dublin Bay.”
