18 Strand Road, Baldoyle, D13H6V2

Stuart McDonnell Properties are delighted to present No. 18 Strand Road to the market, a charming original Coast Guard cottage in one of Baldoyle’s most special coastal settings.
There is something instantly appealing about this little stretch of Strand Road. Step outside your front door and Baldoyle Bay is right there in front of you, while from the house itself there are wonderful, uninterrupted views across the estuary towards Sutton and Portmarnock Golf Clubs and out towards Ireland’s Eye.
It is a view that is never really the same twice. The tide comes and goes, the light changes throughout the day and the bay is constantly alive with birdlife. Baldoyle Bay is both a Special Area of Conservation and a Special Protection Area, making this a very special place to call home.
To the front, a cobbled driveway provides ample off-street parking for multiple cars, a particularly useful feature in such a lovely coastal setting.
The cottage itself has plenty of personality. The entrance porch opens through to a comfortable living room with a feature gas fireplace, recessed lighting and an open staircase, all adding to the relaxed character you would hope to find in a period coastal home.
To the rear is the kitchen and dining area, fitted with wall and floor units, stone worktops and integrated appliances, with plenty of room to sit around the table and enjoy everyday life.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms and the bathroom. The front bedroom is particularly lovely, with two windows looking straight across the bay, not a bad view to wake up to every morning. It also has fitted wardrobes, recessed lighting and access to the attic, which may offer further possibilities subject to feasibility and any necessary planning permission.
The Sunny Southwest-facing rear garden is another real plus, with a patio area to catch the afternoon and evening sun, two sheds and pedestrian access onto the rear laneway. No. 18 also comes with a separate piece of land to the rear, an unusual and interesting addition to the property presenting multiple opportunities.
The house has been well cared for over the years and retains plenty of character, with double-glazed windows, gas-fired central heating and a gas boiler replaced within the last three years. It also gives the next owner the opportunity to put their own stamp on it over time.
And then there is Baldoyle itself.
You can leave the house and be walking along the coast in minutes, continue along the greenway towards Portmarnock or head in the other direction towards Sutton and Howth. Baldoyle village is close by for everyday amenities, while Sutton DART Station provides an easy connection into the city. Despite all of that convenience, Strand Road still has that lovely feeling of being tucked away beside the water.
No. 18 isn't a conventional two-bedroom house, and that is very much part of its charm. An original Coast Guard cottage, generous off-street parking, a southwest-facing garden, a separate piece of land and those wonderful views across Baldoyle Bay combine to make this a home with a real sense of place.
