Description
Tucked away right at the end of a tree lined cul de sac within the Castleside enclave, no 17, Castleside Drive is a charming 4 bedroom semi-detached home. Designed by architects O’Mahony Pike, in the late 1980’s, situated in the heart of Rathfarnham, minutes’ walk from the village. With Castle Golf Club to the rear and Rathfarnham Castle Park to the front, Castleside has always been a very desirable development.
This impressive property has a red brick faé§ade with clay tile details and bay window on the upper level. Stepped back from the road, the front garden gives a sense of even greater privacy in what is already a very private road. There is currently off-street parking for two cars, and a front garden.

Upon entering, there is a large light filled entrance hall with cloakroom press, leading to the main hallway with understairs w.c. The hallway opens into a well-proportioned family living room with open fire, overlooking the patio and garden to the rear of the house.
