Location:

Strathmore is located approximately 10 miles south of Dublin city centre, Killiney DART Station is 200 yards away and Dalkey Village less than 2 miles away. Access to the M50, N11 at the Cherrywood interchange providing easy access to Dublin Airport and North County Wicklow.
 
Description:

Strathmore extends to 760 sq.m. (8,200 sq.ft.) and has some of the most elegant and impressive reception rooms in any home in Ireland particularly the drawing room 17.8m x 7.3m (58’5” x 23’ 11”) overlooking the sumptuous terrace and sweeping gardens and on over Killiney Bay down to the Sugar Loaf Mountain. The hall, dining room and study are all also extremely well proportioned as are the six principal bedrooms on the first floor, many of which have stunning south facing views over the gardens and grounds, Killiney Bay and North County Wicklow.
Strathmore stands on a triangular site bounded largely by Strathmore Road. It also has frontage and access onto Killiney Hill Road. There is a compact Gate Lodge 83 sq.m. (890 sq.ft.) at the entrance and the grounds enjoy utter seclusion.
The grounds vary from formal gardens, walled gardens, extensive wooded areas to magnificent open parkland at the lower level, given the times we live in it is most unusual to find a home so close to Dublin in such an elegant setting.
