Description

Hume Auctioneers - We Get The Pick Of The Crop. Perhaps Monasterevin's most exclusive address, Drogheda Street was designed by the Earls of Drogheda in the 19th century and is home to some of the finest homes in all of County Kildare. A leafy enclave where a beautiful mix of period homes, schools and a magnificent church all combine to create a street of unrivalled beauty. At the bottom of Drogheda street is the beautiful Grand Canal with the train station just beside it. The Chestnuts is a beautiful 4 bay Victorian residence beautifully set at the quiet end of the street. Step inside the attractive entrance and through the impressive vestibule hallway to a property which is rich in character and showcases an exceptional collection of beautifully preserved period details. A welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with its warm parquet flooring, decorative cornicing and elegant staircase featuring turned spindles, a polished timber handrail and exquisite carved detailing. The generously proportioned living room is filled with natural light from twin windows and retains all the grandeur expected of a fine period residence. High ceilings, deep cornicing, an ornate ceiling rose and a handsome cast-iron fireplace with inset stove create a wonderfully elegant setting. Double doors lead to the Kitchen dining room. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room combines traditional character with excellent everyday practicality, featuring extensive bespoke cabinetry, a range-style cooker, tiled flooring, exposed ceiling beams and ample room for family dining. To the rear, a charming south-facing sunroom with a glazed roof provides a bright and relaxing additional living space. The ground-floor accommodation is completed by a useful utility room and guest WC. Throughout, the impressive ceiling heights, fine joinery, original-style windows with working shutters, wall panelling and intricate plasterwork give the interior a rare sense of craftsmanship, warmth and timeless distinction. The exceptional scale and period character continue to the first floor, where a gracious split-level landing is beautifully illuminated by a striking arched stained-glass window. High ceilings, elegant cornicing, a traditional spindle balustrade, polished timber handrail and chandelier create an impressive sense of arrival. There are three outstanding double bedrooms, each offering superb proportions, high ceilings and abundant natural light. Two bedrooms benefit from private shower en suites. The layout and size of the landing and bedroom three is such that with minimum outlay this room could easily convert to 2 large singles.

Throughout the first floor, deep skirting boards, substantial door surrounds, attractive window detailing and beautifully proportioned rooms preserve the elegance and distinction of this fine period home.
