Howth hideaway with views of Ireland's Eye and the harbour for €675k
Hill Cottage features a unique split-level design.
TUCKED AWAY ON an elevated site in Howth, Dublin 13, Hill Cottage is a one-of-a-kind property.
The three-bed house has been rebuilt and redesigned by its current owners, transforming the former artisan home into a modern and deceptively spacious residence of 1,414 sq ft.
Stepping inside, the front door opens to the open-plan living and dining space. This room enjoys plenty of natural light thanks to its south-facing orientation, while high ceilings add to the airy feel.
There’s a large feature fireplace with a brick surround in here, making for the ideal spot to cosy up in front of. A neat bedroom and a separate study are accessed off the open plan space, while three steps lead to the kitchen.
The corner kitchen features glossy red cabinets and oak worktops, with extra storage space available in the utility area.
The main bedroom is at the same level and boats a walk-in wardrobe, with another bedroom also here.
The main family bathroom is across from the kitchen, with striking emerald green wall tiles making a statement.
A timber staircase gives access to the first floor, where there’s a spacious and airy living room with ample built-in storage and views over Howth village, the harbour and towards Ireland’s Eye. A home office completes the accommodation.
Outside, there’s a south-facing split-level terrace area to the front, while the rear garden boasts a hot tub and paved BBQ area.
If you’re a fan of sea swimming, you can start or end your day with a trip to Balscadden Bay Beach, which can be reached within a 15-minute walk.
There’s a great selection of restaurants and cafes to enjoy in the village, as well as walks along the harbour and the coast. For journeys to the city centre, the DART station is a 15-minute walk away, while the drive to the city centre will take about 40 minutes.
