Description
The Manse is a most attractive Victorian home built in a Domestic Revival architectural style that was very popular at the time, it is adjacent to the church on York Road in the heart of Dun Laoghaire. Built circa 1865 to the designs of Charles Geoghegan (1820 1908), an architect and engineer who was prolific at the time, other notable buildings include the National Bank on College Green, Boland Memorial Chapel in Glasnevin Cemetery and Allied Irish Bank on Arran Quay. An annex was added in approximately 1890 to the west gable end and there is an abundance of period features throughout including sliding sash windows, high ceilings, original chimney pieces, a granite façade, and cast-iron downpipes. The Manse is a protected structure (RPS No. 908) and now presents new owners with a wonderful opportunity to renovate subject to the necessary planning permission and create a fantastic family home.
