Priory Lodge is a chocolate box pretty, pink, two-bedroom detached house that was once the gate lodge of Priory House.
Built in 1835, it was once owned by Noel le Brocquy, the younger brother of the late renowned artist, Louis le Brocquy.
Located on the corner of Monkstown Road and Monkstown Valley, the cottage measures 98sq m (1,055sq ft) and its period features include lovely high ceilings.
On the ground floor, the living-cum-diningroom has light pouring in from three sides, two box bay windows and a third window as well as a limestone fireplace with gas fire and wood flooring.
The eat-in, white-tiled kitchen has white units and a dual aspect, including another box bay window that overlooks the low maintenance garden. There is a small toilet off the hall.
Upstairs, the dormer bedrooms have pitched ceilings and gable-end windows. There is very little built-in storage in either. The upstairs bathroom is a shower room.
Outside, a small walled garden surrounds the house and gives a great sense of privacy. There is off-street parking, while Seapoint Dart station is a five-minute walk.
Priory Lodge has been on the market for four or five weeks and has been reduced in price from €645,000 to €585,000 through agents SherryFitzGerald.
