Gordonville, Sydenham Villas, Dundrum, Dublin 14, D14 C1X6, Ireland

Gordonville is a very impressive and stunningly elegant 1850's Victorian home situated in the heart of Dundrum yet enjoying a most private setting. The property, which has been the home of the current owners since 1976, underwent a major refurbishment in 2003 with every modern convenience, creating a home which enjoys period charm and modern convenience in equal measure. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of mainstream traffic and noise is Sydenham Villas, a much sought after residential road on the fringes of Dundrum, Dublin 14. The pristinely presented front driveway, with mature box hedging, trees, a large selection of shrubbery and an expansive cobblelock driveway sets the tone for what lies behind the hall door of this beautiful double fronted home measuring approx. 404 sq m/ 4,348 sq ft.

Entering through the Victorian portico front porch with its period tiling brings you to the hall door with side panels and large fan light. The entrance hallway with its feature 3.4m high ceilings give such a sense of space, with magnificent ornate cornicing and a decorative archway from beyond which leads to matching reception rooms on either side, with original period marble fireplaces, for entertaining on a grand scale. These rooms again have wonderful ceiling height, stunningly ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and impressive fireplaces both of which have been beautifully restored, and both have operational open fires. All rooms retain the period woodwork, architrave, skirting, and doors.

There is an oversized bathroom at hall level and steps down lead to a large family room/ study. Interconnecting with the formal living room is a large conservatory with beautiful views over the rear garden. To the other side leading off the formal dining room and with separate access from the ground floor return is the stunning kitchen/ breakfast/ family room. With a fully fitted kitchen complete with extensive fitted units incorporating a 7 ring gas stove and free standing fridge/ freezer, dishwasher and an expansive breakfast counter for casual dining. There is a large family area completing this room which really is the hub of the home. Double doors lead out to the beautiful rear gardens. A door leads to the original stables of Gordonville which is now used as a home gym/ utility area with steps leading up to a games room. The room in turn has access to both front and rear gardens. This area would lend itself to a variety of different uses in the future.

A beautiful ornate staircase leads upstairs to the landing which is wonderfully lit by a feature domed ceiling with ornate stained glass. There are four very large double bedrooms, two with beautiful bay windows overlooking the front gardens. The principle bedroom is extremely generous with a full ensuite with free standing claw foot bath, walk in double shower unit, w.c and wash hand basin. The family bathroom again is expansive with Cherrywood flooring, open fireplace, full free standing claw foot bath and walk in shower unit, w.c., and wash hand basin.

The gardens in Gordonville are truly spectacular. The front garden is cobblelocked and provides plenty of off street parking. The rear gardens are exquisite and boast wonderful cobblelocked patio areas leading to a beautiful large lawned area surrounded by mature hedging, a vast array of beautiful trees and shrubs, all bordered by high granite walls and further enhanced by a pretty original stone built cottage style shed.

Gordonville is a superb house which benefits from being previously refurbished providing a very comfortable family home with a touch of luxury exuding an overall period charm leaving the new owners with little to do but move in. The fact that this house is positioned just a stones' throw from the wonderful village of Dundrum with all it has to offer, a 3 minute walk to the Luas and within easy reach of a number of renowned Boys and Girls primary and Secondary schools, yet enjoys rural and private seclusion from the passing traffic will have huge appeal.
