Description

Churchtown Lodge is a unique, detached mid-Victorian, two storey dwelling, occupying a secluded corner site, set side back behind attractive granite walls in this much sought after residential neighbourhood. Dating from 1860, this unique and charming residence would have been a country house surrounded by grazing pastures where animals roamed the fields of what was then small rural laneways. Owned and occupied by two generations of the same family since the early 1960’s this much loved and well maintained home retains its true elegance - with rooms of graceful proportions, high ceilings with cornicing, coupled with original period features; original sash windows complete with functional shutters (refurbished), period fireplace, original panelled doors to mention a few. Externally the handsome façade reveals it Victorian heritage with decorative under eaves brick corbelling, segmental brick arches over windows and granite window sills. The accommodation comprises; Entrance porch, inviting hallway with two near identical reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/ breakfast/ family room with adjoining pantry/ utility room. Upstairs on the first floor return is the bathroom, a double bedroom with two large double bedrooms above - one with en-suite and both with walk-in wardrobes. Externally there are wrap around gardens with plenty of off street parking, a large stone built garage - mostly likely a stable for horses originally and an enclosed south facing courtyard. There is further potential to extend subject to P. P. There is an enviable range of facilities at hand with excellent local shopping at Churchtown, and the property being minutes from Dundrum Town Centre and close to Rathgar, Milltown Clonskeagh and Rathfarnham. The M50 is easily accessible as is the LUAS which makes light work of the short commute to the city centre not forgetting a selection of bus routes to the city and beyond. Leisure facilities abound with the Airfield Estate, the parklands of Orwell, Dartry and Bushy at hand, not forgetting a choice of golf clubs – Milltown and The Castle. There is a comprehensive selection of well-established schools nearby and UCD Belfield is only a short cycle away. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the uniqueness this property has to offer.
