Description

No. 29 is located on the enviable southern side of Ailesbury Road and is widely considered as one of Dublin's premier residential roads. This fine residence which extends to approx. 385sq. (4154 sq.ft) is a particularly handsome red brick and granite two storey over garden level period residence with uniform flight of granite steps leading to the front door, and in addition, with excellent off-street parking to the front and a south facing garden to the rear.


The upper two floors of this very impressive end of terrace period residence, comprise 236 sq. m. / 2,540 sq. ft. (approx.) of exceptionally elegant, light-filled accommodation, have retained their numerous period features including wonderfully ornate and detailed cornice work in the two interconnecting reception rooms and hallway, as well as the marble mantlepieces in the interconnecting reception rooms.


Originally in two spacious, self-contained apartments (pre-63) the accommodation is now laid out as follows:



Arched Entrance Porch
Elegant, light-filled hallway with ornate ceiling
Magnificent Drawing Room with folding doors to Dining Room, matching marble mantlepieces and ornate ceiling cornice work
Kitchenette on the ground floor return

Bedroom 1 and w.c on first floor return

3 fine double bedrooms on the first floor

Bed 5 and old-fashioned Bathroom and separate w.c. on the 2nd floor return


This area of the house requires refurbishment and updating (subject to planning permission) to create a stunningly elegant home.

The garden level has been extensively upgraded in recent years and is in very good decorative order and extends to approx. 150 sq.m / 1614 sqft approx. It is accessed by a side entrance under the front steps. Off the hall there are two bedrooms one which has the benefit of an en-suite overlooking the front garden and a family bathroom.

The hall leads to a bright split level open plan living room with fireplace with gas fire insert and access to the south facing rear garden. The living room leads to a dining area which leads to a country style kitchen with rust stone floor tiles. The kitchen has access to the rear garden. The main bedroom with en-suite shower room and dressing room completes the accommodation as this level.

Of significant additional appeal is the fact that the property is being sold with the benefit of full planning permission for a contemporary, two storey extension to the side of the property.

This is a wonderful, exciting opportunity for a discerning purchaser to buy a very impressive family residence providing bright spacious and elegant accommodation, whilst offering tremendous potential to create a truly exceptional family home on one of Dublin's most sought-after addresses.
