A rare and unique opportunity to acquire this fine property for the first time in over 100 years, The Suburban Club is a grand Grade 2 listed mid-terraced Victorian property, which forms part of one of Bray's most complete and impressive 19th-century terraces that is ideally positioned within a short stroll of all the excellent services and amenities that the fashionable seaside town of Bray has to offer.
In need of a complete refurbishment, the property has been used as a private member's snooker club for the past 120 years who celebrated their centenary in 2004. Built in 1870 as part of a relatively uniform bit non identical row of thirteen houses, this terraced three-bay two-storey over basement property measures an impressive 298sq.m./3,200sq.ft. which is full of original period detail and charm such as the two marble fireplaces in main reception room, ornate coving and centre roses, sash windows with shutters, picture hanging rails, dado rails and more. The spacious accommodation laid out over three floors offers versatility and an exciting opportunity to renovate and put one's own stamp on the property and like the rest of the terrace, it would make a fantastic family home for the new owner but also has potential for office use.
The asymmetrical front elevation shares a projecting full-height gabled bay with the neighbouring house to the east, with the combined properties forming a symmetrical 'palace front'. The façade is finished in unpainted plain and rusticated render with molded quoins, string courses, and a parapet with projecting eaves course, whilst the bay has a pediment-like gable. The hipped roof, which is largely hidden behind the parapet, is covered in slate and has shared rendered chimneystacks with pronounced corbelling. The entrance is set within the bay and consists of a panelled timber door, jambs with decorative brackets, and a plain semi-circular fanlight. It is reached via a flight of stone steps with decorative cast-iron railings. The windows are flat-headed and have one over one and two over two timber sash frames.
The property has a large south facing front garden which has pedestrian access onto the Florence Road, enclosed by decorative cast-iron railings and a matching gate. There are lovely views from the front of the property up to Bray Head that pan around to the Little & Great Sugarloaf mountains in the distance. Residents permit parking is available on the street but there is also rear access to the terrace via Stable Lane which currently has a pedestrian gate but offers the opportunity to create private off-street parking like the neighbouring houses have done. Alternatively, it may be kept as a garden space with the lower courtyard area ideal for use as a patio.
The property is centrally located in a highly desirable and primarily residential area of Bray which is only minutes' walk from all the excellent local services and amenities that the fashionable town has to offer including a choice of shops, cafes, bars & restaurants, churches, schools, supermarkets, sports and recreational facilities. Bray is a large bustling coastal town which offers the best of suburban and country living, lies approximately 20km south of Dublin City Centre and has excellent transport link with regular DART, Dublin Bus and Aircoach services together with a good road network providing easy access to Dublin and beyond. The area is blessed with numerous local amenities and attractions such as the famous 'mile long' Victorian promenade, Bray Head and the cliff walk, Kilruddery House & Gardens, the Mermaid Theatre, Bray Harbour, Powerscourt House & Gardens, the Wicklow Mountains and more.
