Our Georgian three-storey terrace house is just up from the beach in Sandycove, in the shadow of James Joyce Tower. It's pretty-much intact as a period house with spacious rooms and big handsome windows. Sandycove is a 'highly desirable' suburb of South Dublin - the Dart Rail service will whisk you to the heart of the capital in 30 minutes. The village of Glasthule is a five minute walk away with a host of shops, cafes, and restaurants. Historic Dalkey, one of Ireland's prettiest villages, is only a 15 minute stroll. The house is filled with contemporary furniture and modern art; with stunning marble fireplaces and handsome gardens front and back. Parking is free and on-street. There's a modern shower-room and a kitchen that's well-equipped but possibly a bit too small for some. The third bedroom doubles as a home office and there's excellent broadband throughout. Visitors have access to the ground and top floors and the gardens - the garden flat is occupied.
“Absolutely fantastic swap! It was a pleasure staying in Breandan and Miriam's beautiful house. The location was perfect to explore Dublin as well as beautiful coastal trips to Bray and Greystones! The best part was being so close to the Harbour and Forty Foot. An ideal location for sea swims, cliff jumps and meditation. Everyone is so friendly and their is a great community atmosphere. Breandan and Miriam were fantastic hosts and guests. I would thoroughly recommend. ”
“We had a fabulous time at Breandan and Miriam's home in Sandycove. We loved the big rooms with big windows allowing the sun to stream in. The location meant we could walk to the coffee shop in 5 minutes or stroll further on to the big town along the promenade alongside the ocean.. Swapping cars meant we were free to travel anywhere in Ireland and we did. Loved the house the location and Breandan and Miriam were fantastic hosts who provided us with much local information. We would highly recommend this beautiful home for a swap to Ireland. We lived a different life and loved it.”
We're a couple, together now for nigh on 50 years
I'm a writer and Miriam is an artist
Our old home is packed with pictures by artists who are still alive
Sandycove is one of Dublin's best-loved seaside places.
It's world-famous for being home to James Joyce Tower; the opening of Ulysses is set here.
It's free, it's great to visit and I work there sometimes.
Down the road is the village of Glasthule, a friendly array of shops, pubs and places to eat
Up the road is Dalkey, one of Ireland's prettiest old villages.
The town of Dun Laoghaire is 15 minutes sea-stroll away, with its beautiful People's Park and Sunday Market, the Pavilion Theatre, Cinema, and stunning Lexicon Library.
You can catch a Dart into Dublin and be there in 30 minutes if you're looking for the high life.
The wild beauty of Wicklow is on your doorstep; around 40 minutes by car and you're deep into Glendalough
But mostly you'll want to stay where you are. In Sandycove
