1 Cannon Rock View, Howth, Co Dublin Asking price: €975,000 Agent: Corry Estates (01) 846 1122 Perched on an elevated site off the Upper Cliff Road in Howth, Cannon Rock View is a small development of detached houses with views of Howth Harbour stretching across to Malahide, Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island. One of the best vantage points to soak up the views is in the dual aspect living room of No1. With its high vaulted ceiling and wall of windows, it’s hard to imagine tearing yourself away from lounging there, except on a sunny day when you can step out from there to a balcony overlooking the back garden, to take in the vistas and the sea air.
Not surprisingly, the house has a split level design, with the living areas on the upper floor to take full advantage of those views. A reception hall with guest WC opens onto a kitchen/dining room with breakfast bar and four bedrooms (one en suite). A rear extension accommodates a double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, a shower room and an office.
The exterior of number 1 Cannon Rock View, Howth, Co Dublin Below this, at basement level, is a 350sq ft room next to a utility room, boiler room and two store rooms. Accessed via patio doors from the front garden and the internal hall, the basement area could easily create extra living or recreational space. Built in 1970, the house needs work to modernise throughout and bring it up from its current E2 BER — but the payoff will be a spectacular coastal property located in one of north Dublin’s swankiest addresses.
