Peek inside a newly-extended €625k home in the heart of Dublin 8

66 Clarence Mangan road now has an extra bedroom – and heaps more natural light.

IF YOU’RE NOT a fan of sweaty bus journeys, packed trains or traffic jams, this newly-renovated terraced house might fit the bill.

Located on Clarence Mangan Road in Dublin 8, the property is five minutes from St Patrick’s Cathedral and 15 minutes from Dame St.

The Tenters area, sitting off South Circular Road,  is a long-established residential hub. While there’s a strong community vibe here, most houses date back to the early or mid 1900s, meaning they are small and often dark. Not so with Number 66.

The addition of a two-storey extension to the rear of the house has transformed the property into a home with ample room for a growing family. Adding to this, there are three primary and three secondary schools all within walking distance.

Stretching over 1,280 sq ft, the home is a bright and airy space throughout. The kitchen is optimal for entertaining, with a spacious breakfast bar and a dining table that seats six.

Ceiling-to-floor glass sliding doors in the lounge and kitchen lead to the patio garden, flooding the room with light. The patio has been paved with Indian sandstone and oozes potential for summer barbeques.

A TV room, family room, utility room and shower room complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes, and there’s one more double and a small single room on this level too.

Disc parking to the front of the property is available for residents, although with everything the city centre has to offer literally on your doorstep, use of the car is likely to take a back seat. 

While the life of Clarence Mangan himself, a prolific writer and poet, was said to be ‘miserable,’ the home on the road that bears his name is anything but. 

66 Clarence Mangan Road, Dublin 8, South Dublin City is on the market for €625,000 through Haines via Daft.ie.
