Description

This is a wonderfully exciting opportunity to purchase this very impressive family residence providing extremely bright, spacious and elegant accommodation, standing on a large, secluded site extending to 0.4 acres (approx.) on what is widely regarded as one of Dublin's premier residential roads. The property, which extends to 471.1 sqm / 5,071 sqft (approx.) including the attic rooms and garage, has been very well maintained by its present owners but given the extensive site, it offers tremendous potential to be significantly extended to the side and rear (subject to planning permission) to create a truly exceptional family home on one of Dublin's most sought-after roads. The accommodation briefly comprises gracious entrance hall, drawing room, dining room, living room, kitchen / breakfast room, utility room, guest wc and sunroom. Upstairs there are 5 bedrooms (one currently used as a study) and a second bathroom. The main bedroom also benefits from having a shower room ensuite. There is a very large attic with bay window and skylights, which could be upgraded to provide generous additional accommodation if required. Situated close to Shrewsbury Road's intersection with Ailesbury Road and backing onto the grounds of Wanderers RFC, the property benefits from an exceptionally convenient and desirable location. The vast majority of Dublin's premier amenities are within comfortable walking distance including the excellent specialty shops. restaurants and hotels of Ballsbridge and Donnybrook. Also within easy reach are numerous rugby, cricket and tennis clubs such as the Aviva Stadium on Lansdowne Road, the R.D.S., Belvedere and Wanderers RFC's, Merrion Cricket Club, David Lloyd Riverview and Elm Park Golf Club. Many of the city's premier primary and secondary schools are also close by such as Belmont, Lakelands and Start of the Sea primary schools. Secondary schools include Muckross Park, St. Andrews College and St. Michaels College which is located on Ailesbury Road itself. Outside: To the front is a large and very well maintained walled front garden, laid own in lawn which is bordered by well stocked and mature flowerbeds. A paved driveway leads to the garage and provides generous off-street parking. The back garden is an outstanding feature of the property being a very generous size and enjoys excellent privacy as it backs onto the playing field of Wanderers Rugby Football Club. The first third of the garden is laid out in very well-maintained lawn bordered by well stocked flower beds and a lovely rockery. Accessed directly from the house is a good-sized paved patio which takes full advantage of early afternoon and evening sunshine making it ideal for al-fresco and outdoor entertaining. The remainder of the garden accommodates an all-weather tennis court, at the rear of the court is a lovely olde worlde pavilion.
