The property is wonderfully secluded, bounded by mature native trees and offers undoubted development potential (subject to planning permission). It is most unusual for a property with a plot of this size to come on the market in Dublin 18 and there is sure to be interest from purchasers with an eye on the undoubted potential of the site in such a sought after residential area.
