Description

Scottish builder Robert Nash created this splendid Victorian Terrace in the late 1800’s. Located at the end of a sleepy cul-de-sac beside Howth village, all 6 period homes formed an old-style gated community until the 1970s, and was originally constructed for military men. No 9 along with the other 5 houses in the terrace enjoys breathtaking views of Lambay and Irelands Eye from their elevated position. Balscadden bay lies below where W.B.Yeats resided at the time of this homes construction. Yeats presence confirms how very special this place is as all who visit will appreciate. This cherished family home extends to c.237 square meters and provides perfectly proportioned accommodation on either side of the gracious reception hall. Each room enjoys high ceilings and tall windows which fill the interior with an abundance of natural light and offer splendid vantage points from which to admire the wonderful views of the sea. The accommodation comprises a drawing room, a formal dining room, a neat family room snug, a kitchen cum breakfast room, WC and pantry store. Upstairs on the half landing is the bathroom and 2 bedrooms. The two main bedrooms flank the landing, both rooms have wide bay windows and the views are some of the best this home has to offer from here. Bedroom 5 is in between both the main bedrooms and would make an ideal walk in wardrobe, ensuite or home office. There is a sixth bedroom to the rear on this level. Outside the garden is mostly to the side and benefits from a south westerly orientation while the rear sunken patio area is facing south with steps up to a pedestrian rear entrance. To the rear of the terrace across the road is separate garden and garage. If required there is obvious potential to extend the garage subject to planning permission. Though the vistas from the reception rooms at hall level are impressive, the birds-eye views from the top floor are superb and take in Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island as well as the fishing and pleasure boats mulling in and out of the harbour. Indeed one of these rooms could be used as an additional reception room for cosy winter evenings, and the property would still retain five bedrooms. While the kitchen needs upgrading, new owners may well want to amalgamate it with an adjacent small living room to give a very spacious open-plan kitchen and living area. A good architect will transform the house into a more contemporary-style house for modern living, but it is the magical convenient location that makes this home particularly special. This hidden gem that is Nashville Park is within a few minutes’ walk of some of Howth’s famous cliff walks, bathing on Balscadden beach, the village and harbour. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that is on offer here.
