A ready-to-go residential site in a top southside suburb should test the strength of the market for development land.
Knight Frank is guiding over €3.5 million by private treaty for the 4.75-acre Bolton Hall site at the junction of Ballyboden Road and Ballyroan Road in Rathfarnham, Dublin 16.
It comes with full planning permission (granted in May 2013) for 21 houses, made up of 20 new-builds plus the refurbishment of Bolton Hall, a four-bedroom listed early-19th century house.
New-builds
The permitted new-build accommodation includes five four-bedroom detached houses, eight four-bed semis, two three-bed semis, three three-bed courtyard houses, one three-bed gatelodge and one two-bed gatelodge.
The site currently includes Bolton Hall house and stable buildings together with 163 Ballyboden Road.
Bolton Hall is surrounded by grassed paddocks with walled gardens and has recently undergone refurbishment works to replace the roof while 163 Ballyboden Road is a single storey, end-of-terrace house of 119sq m (1,281sq ft).
The surrounding area is an established residential location close to Rathfarnham village and Bushy Park.
Dublin city centre is within 7km, the M50 about 2km away and Dundrum Town Centre 4km.
