Description
A truly special home lies beyond the yellow brick façade of this instantly appealing two storey over garden level period residence which has been lovingly maintained and updated by its current custodians for over the past 40 years. Built c.1834 and measuring 175 sq.m approx. this wisteria clad home is utterly charming and is well set back off Royal Canal Bank with valuable off-street car parking to the front and an oasis of a private, mature garden to the rear bathed in sunlight due to its desirable west facing orientation. A flight of granite steps leads one up to the front door and beyond into a generous hallway with fanlight above. To the right can be found one of two large double bedrooms at this level (originally would have served as the main reception rooms) with high ceilings, cornice detailing and working window shutters. The back bedroom has a glazed door overlooking a double height sunroom and beyond to the rear garden. A bathroom can be found on the return with feature low rise bath wrapped in glazing which gives the feeling of bathing in the outdoors. At garden level one descends a staircase via a double height sunroom which opens to the rear garden and into the cosy living area off which is a modern shower /wet room. Double sliding doors reveal the bespoke kitchen with centre island housing a wide range of storage, with separate utility room which gives access to the front garden. From the front hallway the main staircase leads up to the first floor with a large semi-circular arched sash window on the half landing overlooking the rear garden which allows natural light to permeate throughout the house. On the first floor to the front of the house can be found a stunning drawing room with two large windows and double doors opening to the third bedroom or large study/library (current use) with matching ceiling coving overlooking the quiet rear garden.

Only a moments stroll away is The Basin, a lovely tranquil spot in the middle of the city. Gardens The gardens are a special feature of this fine home, to be set in such a convenient city centre setting yet to have these beautifully landscaped and well stocked gardens is a real joy. To the front original wrought iron gates open to the gravel off street car parking area which is bordered by mature hedgerows and a well-stocked border, a sandstone paved area and a flight granite steps lead up to the front door and down to the understairs access to the garden level kitchen. To the rear the 30ft approx. west facing garden is set out in stone paving for ease of maintenance with an appealing water feature making this space feel tranquil and a lovely space to retreat from one's busy life.
