Description
DNG is delighted to introduce this remarkable and generously proportioned detached residence, accompanied by a charming two-bedroom gate lodge, ideally positioned just a short stroll from the heart of Terenure Village.
Steeped in history and brimming with character, the property was formerly known as Terenure Villa and once served as the residence of Sir Robert Shaw. This distinguished home seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern potential.
A striking entrance sets the tone, with original stone piers topped by ornate finials providing a memorable welcome. Adjacent to the entrance, the beautifully preserved gate lodge—dating back to circa 1850—offers its own private yard, enhancing the uniqueness and versatility of this exceptional property.
The main residence spans approximately 165 sq m and is thoughtfully laid out to accommodate modern family living. The ground floor comprises a long, inviting entrance hall, a well-appointed front living room, a separate utility room, kitchen, sitting room, and guest WC. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, two home offices or study rooms, a family bathroom, and a master en suite.
The self-contained gate lodge includes a bright living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, along with its own private yard—perfect for extended family, guests, or rental opportunities.
To the rear of the main house lies a stunning, south-facing garden extending approximately 125 feet—an idyllic space for entertaining, family activities, or potential extension (subject to planning permission). A wide side entrance allows for vehicular access to the rear garden, while the expansive front driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles.
Situated in one of Dublin's most desirable residential areas, this property enjoys an exceptional location just a short stroll from Terenure Village. Renowned for its vibrant community atmosphere, Terenure offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and local amenities, all within easy reach. The area is particularly sought after by families, thanks to its proximity to a number of prestigious primary and secondary schools, including Terenure College, Our Lady's School, Presentation College, and St. Joseph's BNS. Just moments away lies the expansive Bushy Park, a much-loved local amenity offering beautiful woodland walks, tennis courts, playing fields, and a popular weekend market—perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike.
