Description
Quillsen are delighted to present No. 52 Sandford Road to the market, a distinguished period residence of exceptional character and scale occupying a prime position in the heart of Dublin 6.
In need of some modernisation viewing is strongly recommended.
Occupying an elevated position on this highly regarded and sought-after residential road, No. 52 is a handsome three-storey Victorian residence extending to approximately 240 sq.m. / 2,583 sq.ft. Rich in architectural heritage and retaining some original period features, this fine home offers the rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family residence in one of Dublin`s most desirable locations.
Behind its attractive red-brick façade, granite steps and distinctive entrance lies a home of immense warmth, elegance and character. Throughout the property, some original features remain beautifully intact including ornate plasterwork, ceiling coving, decorative centre roses, original fireplaces and timber flooring. Newly fitted sash windows flood the accommodation with natural light.
The gracious proportions synonymous with homes of this era are immediately evident upon entering the impressive reception hall. The accommodation is exceptionally versatile and extends over several levels, offering an ideal balance between formal reception rooms and practical family living spaces.
Particularly impressive are the elegant reception rooms which enjoy magnificent ceiling heights and large picture sash windows overlooking Sandford Road and the landmark St. Mary`s Church opposite. These wonderful rooms provide a rare sense of space and grandeur while perfectly showcasing period detailing.
The accommodation briefly comprises an impressive entrance hall, drawing room, living room, family room, dining area, kitchen, five bedrooms and a top-floor suite.
At garden level, the kitchen, dining area and family room combine to create an inviting heart to the home, ideal for everyday family life.
Outside, the property benefits from valuable gated off-street parking to the front, a particularly sought-after feature in this mature residential setting. To the rear is a private walled garden providing a peaceful and secluded outdoor space requiring minimal maintenance.
The location is second to none. Sandford Road enjoys a highly convenient position between Ranelagh, Donnybrook and Ballsbridge, with a wealth of amenities within easy walking distance. Ranelagh Village offers an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, speciality shops and neighbourhood services, while the LUAS provides swift access to St. Stephen`s Green and the city centre.
The area is particularly well served by many of Dublin`s most highly regarded primary and secondary schools together with UCD, Trinity College Dublin and an abundance of sporting and recreational amenities. Herbert Park, Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club, the Aviva Stadium and the city centre are all within easy reach.
Rarely does a protected period residence of such scale, character and convenience come to the market in this prime Dublin 6 location. Viewing is highly recommended.
