17 Wellington Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, D04 Y6T4, Ireland

This is an exciting opportunity to acquire an elegant two-storey over garden level family home, well set back behind the original wrought iron railings, on this popular and sought after residential road.

It is without question one of Dublin 4's most sought-after addresses, being so close to the city centre and a range of local amenities and public transport links. Wellington Road is within walking distance of some of Dublin's finest junior and secondary schools, while third level institutions - including UCD Belfield, TCD and TU Dublin - are all on local bus routes.

Although requiring modernisation, this fine period home retains its pure Georgian elegance with a wonderful sense of symmetry prevailing throughout, with large sash windows and reception rooms of gracious proportions enjoying a great quality of natural light. Many period features remain, including ornate cornicing, sash windows with working shutters and period fireplaces. The house is currently laid out as a 4 bedroom townhouse on the upper two floors with a self-contained 2 bedroom apartment at garden level but it would easily be reconverted back to a stunning family home, subject to planning.

The house benefits from an impressive 100ft front garden with an original set of singular granite steps leading to the hall door. It also has a walled and private westerly rear garden, laid out mainly in lawn, with a selection of mature plants, trees and shrubs and the benefit of a separate artist's studio. There is further scope for extending the already generous accommodation, should one wish.

Wellington Road is undoubtedly one of Dublin's most coveted and convenient residential roads within walking distance of St. Stephen's Green and many of Dublin's principal places of business, including Silicon Dock at Grand Canal Dock. Suburban rail and the Luas tram lines are within walking distance, as is Herbert Park, providing recreational amenities, including a café, tennis, bowling and walks around its 34 acres. Excellent local shopping and restaurants at both Ballsbridge, Donnybrook and Ranelagh are all within a short stroll, as is the RDS, Leinster Rugby HQ and the AVIVA Stadium. The property also benefits from being within 20 minutes' drive of the airport, via the Port Tunnel.
