Detached bungalow in Dalkey offers sea views and mature garden, just five minutes from centre of village
Asking price: €1.465m Agent: Sherry FitzGerald (01) 275 1000 When it comes to rooms with a view, Knocknacree Park in Dalkey takes some beating. A private enclave of detached homes largely built in the 1960s, it's set on an elevated site with vistas across Dublin Bay. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac, No18 is a 1,668 sq ft bungalow with a C3 BER. It opens into a bright entrance hall with a guest WC off. Also accessed via the entrance hall is a living/dining room with exposed timber beams and an engineered floor. Next to that is a streamlined kitchen/breakfast room with quartz countertops, integrated units and sliding doors to the back garden. Four double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation. Outside, there's room to park several cars in the front driveway, and an adjoining garage provides handy storage space. The back garden is laid out in lawn lined with mature trees, shrubs and flowerbeds and has a paved patio for al fresco dining or just relaxing with a good book. Remember, this town is home to the Dalkey Book Festival. It's a handy five-minute walk to Dalkey village, one of south Dublin's most sought-after addresses with its artisan bakeries, cafes, restaurants, and shops. There are excellent public transport links, including the local Dart station from where you can be in the city centre in half an hour. Located within easy reach of popular walking trails through the hills of Dalkey and Killiney, the property is also close to some renowned swimming spots, including the Forty Foot and Vico Bathing Place.

Virat Kohli fan lifts iconic No. 18 jersey at graduation ceremony in US; video goes viral: ‘269 Signing Off'
Even though veteran cricketer Virat Kohli may have stepped away from Test cricket, the admiration for him has not faded one bit. A recent video from the University of Missouri–Kansas City's graduation ceremony shows a student, Dinesh Kyama, making a gesture for the cricket legend by holding up Kohli's iconic No 18 Test jersey. As his name echoed through the auditorium, Kyama walked across the stage, proudly raised the jersey in front of a cheering crowd, before receiving his certificate. At the end of the clip he posed with the jersey, beaming with joy – an act that instantly struck a chord with fellow fans and attendees alike. The moment was shared on Instagram with the caption '269 Signing Off,' a direct nod to the emotional words Kohli used in his own retirement post. A post shared by Kyama (@_dinesh_k_18) Alongside the video, Kyama also posted a series of pictures with the jersey in collaboration with fellow Kohli admirer and superfan Pintu Behera, who runs the Instagram account 'virat18superfan'. The post quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comments section with praise. A post shared by Pintu Behera (@virat18superfan) One person wrote, 'Bro u r now successfully graduated,' while another said, 'Every Virat fan dreams.' Someone else added, 'Congratulations, brother. This is the best tribute.' Kohli, who began his Test journey in 2011, stunned fans by announcing his retirement through a heartfelt social media post: 'It's been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It's tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I'll carry for life.' What made the farewell bittersweet was the absence of a final match or official send-off. Fans, determined to honour him in their own way, tried paying tribute during an IPL game against Kolkat Knight Riders at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium by donning white Test jerseys. Some even sold them outside the venue. Sadly, the plan was washed out—literally—as rain poured down, dampening the tribute.
