10 Patrician Villas, Stillorgan

Lovely bright and solid house, on a wide cul-de-sac with plenty of parking, in close proximity to Stillorgan Village. This property is quietly tucked away at the back of Patrician Villas, well away from traffic or road noise. The tree lined northern boundary bursting with bird song, gives additional privacy without blocking the light. Number 10 is vacant awaiting a new owner to put their own stamp on it.

Patrician Villas was built in the 1950s by Dublin County Council. Since then most of the homes have been bought out and are now in private ownership. It is an improving area, with a good community spirit, conveniently located adjacent to the village and shopping centre in Stillorgan.

Accommodation consists of an entrance hall, lovely bright living room with fireplace, a kitchen with a door to the back garden, a downstairs bathroom and three bedrooms, all with pine floorboards. The front bedroom stretches the full width of the house. It has two windows flooding this space with light.

To the rear there is a back garden approximately 17m / 50ft long, with a sunny patio beside the back wall, under the palm tree. In the summer time this catches the sun all day long. There is a useful bike store unit.

To the front is a paved garden with a rose bed. Some of the neighbouring properties have opened this up for gated off-street parking. However this really is not necessary as there are plenty of parking spaces in the square out front. Around the corner on Patrician Grove is a large green play area.

A walk-way leads from Patrician Villas to Stillorgan Shopping Centre via an under-pass adjacent to the new plaza and library currently under construction. Close to this the council has recently planted an orchard of assorted fruit and nut trees. Another footpath leads to Priory Avenue.

It is well serviced by excellent transport links along the N11 with its quick bus corridor (QBC) as well as nearby LUAS and DART stations. The frequent buses on the QBC reach UCD in 7 minutes and city centre in less than 30 minutes.
