Description

As pretty as a picture and oozing charm and character from every corner, it is with delight that we bring this gorgeous home to the market. Located on a small private road it is hard to imagine that you are in the centre of town - with everything on your doorstep just moments away. The gardens surrounding the property are a haven of mature planting, colourful shrubs and the most glorious Magnolia tree imaginable. While Glebe Cottage has all the charm of a cottage home, it is in fact quite deceptive, with ample room internally. The front porch opens to a split level entrance hallway with stairs to both the upper and lower levels. To the right, the formal dining room is bright and spacious with timber flooring and a large window overlooking the front lawn. The "arts & crafts" style fireplace and original coving and ceiling rose are among the many lovely features of the property.To the left of the central hallway large double doors open to a charming drawing room with timber flooring, and a large window to the front with glorious garden views. There is a pretty open fireplace here - ideal for cosy winter evenings. This room leads through to a wonderful reception room which is currently used as a music and reading room, with timber panelling and bay window. The sunroom of this wonderful home is testament to the previous owners illustrious career with Dunsink Observatory. Inlaid within the tiled floor is a scaled replica of the solar system - an original and wonderful feature which is sure to please.The central staircase leads to the lower level, with a bedroom, spacious kitchen guest wc and access to a cellar area - perfect for a wine store. Upstairs, the first floor return houses a bright and spacious bathroom with two large double bedrooms. A further staircase leads to 2 quaint attic rooms which have previously been used as both offices and bedrooms.Outside, the mature gardens are truly a delight. With myriad sheltered and sunny corners, well-tended lawn and verdant planting this mature garden is ideal for any gardening enthusiast. Private parking is available to the side of the property and the gardens are so private that it is hard to imagine that you are in the centre of town. This beautiful home has been well cared for and much loved. It will now benefit from some moderisation and updating, but its undeniable charm is sure to outweigh any reservations about the work to be done. Viewing is highly recommended.
