Dublin, Ranelagh, Ireland

12 Northbrook Road is a substantial and refined double-fronted period residence, quietly positioned on one of Ranelagh’s most prestigious, tree-lined residential streets.

Behind its elegant red-brick façade lies a house of rare scale, character and long-term potential in the heart of Dublin 6.

Extending to approximately 275 sq m, the property retains a wealth of original period detail, including impressive ceiling heights, ornate coving, fine architraves and generously proportioned reception rooms.

The accommodation offers the incoming purchaser a compelling opportunity to create a distinguished family home of exceptional quality, tailored to modern living while respecting the architectural integrity of the house. Planning permission for change of use back to residential has been sought, providing a clear and defined route for redevelopment (Planning Ref: WEB5997/25).

To the rear lies a private, south-facing garden, enjoying excellent natural light throughout the day and offering an unusually calm and sheltered setting for outdoor living, entertaining and family use. This orientation significantly enhances the long-term residential appeal of the property. To the front, the house benefits from off-street parking, a rare and valuable asset in this established and highly sought-after location.

The house lends itself naturally to reconfiguration as a refined 4/5 bedroom family home, with generous reception rooms to the front and the potential for a large kitchen / living space opening directly onto the south-facing garden. The scale of the footprint allows for comfortable family living, home working and entertaining, while preserving the elegance and proportion that define the original period architecture.

Northbrook Road is prized for its quiet residential character while remaining moments from the vibrancy of Ranelagh village. Renowned cafés, restaurants and independent shops are within walking distance, as is the LUAS, providing direct and convenient access to the city centre. St Stephen’s Green, Grafton Street and Rathmines are all close by, and the area is exceptionally well served by Dublin’s leading junior and senior schools, as well as major universities and colleges.

Properties of this scale and quality rarely come to the market in Ranelagh. 12 Northbrook Road represents a long-term home of substance and presence, offering elegance, privacy and outstanding convenience in one of Dublin’s most enduring residential addresses.

Viewing is highly recommended.
