Cliftonville is a refined detached Victorian residence of exceptional scale, architectural integrity and understated grandeur, superbly positioned on Monkstown Road - one of South County Dublin’s most prestigious and enduringly desirable coastal addresses.
Set well back from the road behind an elegant façade and granite steps, the property occupies approximately 0.2 acres of mature, private grounds and extends to approximately 366 sq metres (3,940 sq ft) of beautifully balanced accommodation arranged over four levels. The house combines the elegance, proportion and craftsmanship of a classic period home with the comfort, refinement and functionality required for modern family living.

In the ownership of the present custodians for over 23 years, Cliftonville has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded throughout. Original architectural features have been carefully preserved and celebrated, including ornate ceiling coving, centre roses, fine fireplaces, working shutters and generous ceiling heights, creating a home of rare cohesion, authenticity and timeless appeal.

A flight of granite steps rises to an impressive entrance hall, a space of immediate impact featuring fine ceiling coving, a centre rose and a striking feature archway that establishes the elegant symmetry of the house. The principal reception rooms are exceptionally well proportioned and ideally suited to both formal entertaining and everyday living. The drawing room is a magnificent dual-aspect room with sliding sash windows, working shutters, ornate cornicing and a handsome Adam-style marble fireplace. Opposite lies the equally impressive dining room, again dual-aspect, featuring wide plank floorboards, a fine marble chimneypiece with gas fire inset, elaborate ceiling detailing and a discreet dumbwaiter connecting directly to the kitchen. Also at this level is a refined study/family room, offering excellent flexibility of use, together with a beautifully appointed guest W.C. finished with beautiful Crema Marfil marble tiling, antique-style fittings and a sash window. There is a door from the return leading down to the garden, to accommodate entertaining.

On the first-floor return there is a bedroom with a window to the side and built in wardrobes. In addition, there is a beautifully finished family bathroom, notable for its generous proportions and freestanding cast-iron bath.

The first floor is arranged around a generous and elegant landing. To the rear is a large double bedroom enjoying elevated glimpses towards Howth via sash windows with working shutters and an excellent range of fitted wardrobes. Two further double bedrooms are positioned to the front overlooking Monkstown Road, both featuring sash windows with working shutters, bespoke wardrobes and fine ceiling work. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, extending to over seven metres in length and incorporating extensive fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom.
On the second floor return, a further double bedroom enjoys fitted wardrobes and elevated coastal views across rooftops with views of Dublin Bay and Howth, making it ideal as a guest suite, private study or retreat.
