15 The Crescent, Clontarf, Dublin 3

BRAM STOKER'S HOUSE

Gallagher Quigley are privileged to present to the market no.15 The Crescent, Clontarf - the former family residence of Bram Stoker (1847-1912) author of Dracula. This three storey over basement Georgian residence extends to c.2,200 sq ft and overlooks Bram Stoker Park.

The Crescent (c.1792) has a fascinating history. It has been reported that this fine Georgian crescent of houses which had great views of Dublin Bay was built in a particular style and arrangement to obstruct the view from Lord Charlemont's neo-classical summer residence "The Casino" at Marino. No.15 The Crescent is by far the most intriguing of the houses thanks to its most famous resident who was born there in 1847 and later attended Trinity College. Bram Stoker's legacy to this day continues to cast a spell on this quiet residential semi-circular street that links the Malahide Road with the Howth Road.

The living accommodation has a footprint of c.2,200 sq ft and is arranged over four floors. On entering the house you are greeted by most generous reception hallway. To the right there are two interconnecting reception rooms. Upstairs on the first floor there are two bedrooms. The master bedroom is located to front and is a particularly impressive room spanning the full width of the house and enjoys charming views of the park. A further two bedrooms are located on the second floor both which are generous doubles. The basement floor comprises the kitchen which is located to the front and a living room which located to rear.

Outside the private front garden is railed and has a driveway which provides off-street parking for two cars. The long linear rear garden is c.142' long and is mainly laid in lawn. There is rear access via Crescent Place which has undergone a lot of mews style residential development over the past few years. There is excellent potential to develop the rear of no.15 The Crescent subject to any necessary planning permission.

The Crescent enjoys excellent transport links in and out of the city centre with a choice of DART and QBC services on its doorstep. Dublin city centre is also within comfortable walking or cycling distance.
