Description

A postcard pretty Arts and Crafts style cottage (built C.1915) which has been very tastefully and stylishly refurbished and extended with great flair by the present owner to provide a home of great appeal. Enjoying all the original period details along with every modern comfort in this truly special, peaceful, and secluded backwater off Booterstown Avenue. No 17 also boasts a beautiful southerly facing front garden which is a complete sun trap and a perfect place for children to play or adults to relax. In addition, there is a Mediterranean style, private internal courtyard which is the perfect spot for al fresco dining. From the entrance to Beech Grove under its wrought iron archway, the scene has been set for this stunning period home. From the wrought iron gate that leads to the path to the front door, you will be enchanted by this pretty as a picture cottage style property. On entering through the hall door, you are directly into the main living room with all its character and charm. You can see directly through to the courtyard from here. There is a door to the study to the front and you can go directly to the kitchen/dining room. This home boasts lovely large sash windows which allow a lot of natural light to enter each room. Nearly each room has a roof light to enhance the space and light. The kitchen has a very good range of wall and eye level cupboards with hardwood worktops that match the lovely Oak flooring throughout the main reception areas of the property. From a timber panelled corridor, you are brought to the sleeping accommodation and bathroom. Each bedroom is a double with a window and door which lead to the internal courtyard, and they also benefit from good built-in wardrobes. There is a lovely room beside the main bedroom which is currently in use as a home office but could also be a dressing room or a nursery. There is a lovely traditional bathroom with Oak flooring, partially panelled walls and period sanitary ware which really set off the Victorian style bathtub. There is also a sash window over the bath. This home is decorated and styled to a very high standard and each room compliments the next with the colours and although this home was built C.1915 there is a truly modern feel throughout. The internal Mediterranean style courtyard is a true gem and the ideal place to enjoy the evening sunshine or just to take a break or entertain. Each room leads out here, making it the ideal space for family dining and entertaining or just spending quality time. There is also a paved patio area to the front of the house which is a sun trap and there is a lovely lawned garden to enjoy. This home must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
