Fit for a family in Foxrock

MENTONE, WESTMINSTER ROAD, FOXROCK, DUBLIN 18 €975,000

MENTONE is tucked away in a quiet cul de sac off Westminster Road in leafy Foxrock, at the end of its own private driveway.

The detached bungalow has 188sqm of living space and would work equally well for families as downsizers, as there is a good choice of schools, both primary and secondary, in the area. There is a decent-sized southfacing landscaped garden to the rear, and another garden to the front with plenty of offstreet parking as well as a separate garage.

The two principal reception rooms are to the rear of the property and look out over the gardens while the bedroom accommodation to the front includes four bedrooms, two of which are en suite.

Foxrock is famously the only village in Ireland not to have a pub to call its own, but it does offer plenty in the way of other amenities by way of compensation.

The village has a number of speciality food shops, including the much-loved Thomas’s, smart boutiques, a chemist, post office and petrol station.

Bistro One and The Gables have both been in business for many years and are still as popular as ever.

There are golf clubs in both Carrickmines and Foxrock, while Carrickmines Lawn Tennis Club is one of the most active in south Co Dublin. Leopardstown Racecourse is on the doorstep, and the West Wood health and fitness centre there is popular with the locals, as is the weekly farmers’ market each Friday.

Mentone is 12km from St Stephen’s Green and handy for the QBC on the Stillorgan Road, as well as the M50 and the Luas at Carrickmines.
