1808 Blackrock Road house with 0.25‑acre garden listed for €650,000

A four‑bedroom house built in 1808 on Blackrock Road, known locally as Oakville, has been put on the market for €650,000.

The property sits on a quarter of an acre of south‑facing gardens with mature trees and a sunroom that incorporates an original stone wall. It retains many period features, including cornicing, fireplaces, Victorian encaustic tiles, tile wall murals, wooden shutters and an F‑energy rating.

The Kavanagh family moved into the house in 1971, adapting the front steps to create off‑street parking for two cars. The extensive garden has been used for family gatherings, football games, motorbike projects and large events such as christening parties with a marquee for up to 100 guests.

Located near the entrances to the Janeville and Lindville estates, the home benefits from the 202 bus route and is within walking distance of local schools, a grocery store, two bars, a pharmacy and a café/deli, with further amenities on the way to Blackrock village.

Timothy Sullivan of Timothy Sullivan & Associates highlighted the “exceptionally spacious, private, south‑facing gardens” as a key selling point. The house predates the nearby Marina, which is now a popular 1.8 km promenade.
