Description

No. 35 Old Cabra Road is an attractive and substantial period home set back behind a mature front garden, offering an immediate sense of character and privacy. Beyond the red brick façade lies a deceptively spacious interior, where generous reception rooms are complemented by a well designed rear extension that responds to modern living. The overall layout has a natural flow, with a strong emphasis on light and connection to the garden, particularly to the rear where the south westerly aspect enhances the sense of space and brightness throughout the day.

Upon entering, a tiled porch leads into a spacious and welcoming entrance hallway, finished with tiled flooring, coving and a ceiling rose, setting the tone for the period detail carried through the home. From here, the two principal reception rooms are accessed. The first is positioned to the front and benefits from excellent natural light through two double glazed windows. It is finished with wooden flooring and retains original detailing including coving and a ceiling rose, while an ornate marble style fireplace with decorative tiling and fitted radiator covers provides a focal point. To the rear of the original house, the second reception room mirrors the front in scale and proportion and enjoys strong natural light through two sash windows to the gable. This room continues the period character with picture rails, coving and ceiling rose, alongside a marble style fireplace, and opens through to the kitchen and dining area.

The rear of the property has been extended to create a large open plan kitchen, dining and living space which forms the heart of the home. The kitchen area is fitted with tiled flooring and an extensive range of units, complemented by a central island providing additional storage and preparation space, along with appliances including a dishwasher and range style gas hob. A full length glazed elevation runs along one side, incorporating floor to ceiling windows and large opening doors that connect directly to the garden and allow for an abundance of natural light. The adjoining living area is finished with wooden flooring and is positioned to fully benefit from the south westerly aspect, creating a bright and comfortable everyday space suited to both family life and entertaining.

To the rear of the extension, a separate family room provides a flexible additional reception space which can be used in conjunction with the main area or closed off when required. A skylight and large folding doors further enhance the natural light within this room, again benefiting from the south westerly orientation. Also at this level, a utility room is located to the rear and is fitted with storage units, while a shower room serves the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, a spacious landing is filled with natural light from a large Velux window and provides access to the attic via a Stira staircase. At first floor return level, a further room currently in use as a kitchenette offers flexibility in use, having originally been designed as a bedroom. It features a sash window overlooking the rear, a skylight providing additional light, and a cast iron fireplace, together with fitted units and countertops. The main bathroom is also located on the return and is finished with tiled flooring and tiled surrounds to the shower area. It comprises a double shower tray, heated towel rail, wash hand basin with storage beneath and WC, along with a window providing natural light and ventilation.

The main bedroom is positioned to the rear of the property and enjoys a dual aspect with sash windows overlooking both the rear and side, benefiting from the south westerly light throughout the day. The room is finished with wooden flooring, built in wardrobes and a cast iron fireplace. To the front, there are two further bedrooms overlooking Old Cabra Road, both retaining the character of the house with wooden flooring and original fireplaces. The second bedroom is a generously sized double, while the third is suitable as a single bedroom or home office.

Externally, the side garden is arranged as a highly usable and low maintenance space, combining patio paving with a gravelled section. A raised red brick planted border runs along the boundary and is well established with a variety of mature planting including cordyline, Sambucus, bay tree, bamboo and an apple tree, along with a mix of shrubs that provide colour and privacy. The paved area accommodates outdoor seating and dining, while a defined planted section is currently set out as a crop or growing area, adding an additional practical element to the garden. To the rear, there is off street parking accessed via gated vehicular entrance onto Ardmore Avenue. The garden is enclosed by mature planting and red brick walls, creating a strong sense of privacy throughout.

About Sherry FitzGerald, Phibsborough

Looking at the company today and thinking back to its’ origins, it’s interesting to see how, in the 30 or so years since its formation, the business has now grown to become Ireland’s largest, fully diversified property advisory firm servicing the residential and commercial property markets. Sherry FitzGerald was founded in 1982 as a result of the amalgamation of 2 companies – FitzGerald & Partners (founded 1972) and Sherry & Sons (founded in 1949). Back in 1982 we had just one residential office on Merrion Row in Dublin 2 with a second office in Terenure not opening until 1989.

Despite the economic difficulties of the 1980’s, the company recruited for the future by forming a team of young property professionals who shared a common vision of a new type of auctioneering company. From the start, we practiced a strong gender balance philosophy, a philosophy we have continued to practice to this day. We understood the absolute prerequisite to have a strong ethical foundation, combined with a sense of unparalleled customer service. That is why, back then, we introduced a non-negotiable rule of not allowing anyone in the company to buy a second-hand house off our own books, coupled with introducing opening 7 days a week into what had traditionally been a ‘9.30 – 5.30 & closed for lunch’ industry. Our strap line in those early days was ‘the new generation of estate agents’ which subsequently evolved into ‘the agent you’d recommend to a friend’.

In 1992 we were the first organisation in the history of the State, outside the Department of the Environment, to provide coherent house price information to the general public and subsequently launched our Dublin house price index in 1996. Today we employ 4 economists and, through all the challenges of the greatest property crash in Europe, we kept our commitment to research and transparent information by not only retaining this function, but by further resourcing it. Our national property index, launched in 1999, is a benchmark in terms of accurate reporting of house price trends. Every 3 months, over the last 15 years, this national index has been published without fear or favour.

In 1998 we opened our first office outside Dublin in Galway. In the same year we launched one of Ireland’s first property websites – www.sherryfitz.ie.

1998 also saw us consolidate our growing commercial presence by forming a joint venture company with the global property advisory firm DTZ Holdings – DTZ Sherry FitzGerald. Today DTZ Sherry FitzGerald is Ireland’s most successful and only nationwide commercial property advisor with offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and an associated office in Belfast.

In 1999 we launched Ireland’s first ever national property franchise organisation. Today there are 66 Sherry FitzGerald franchise offices, providing property advice in every corner of Ireland.

In the same year the Group acquired the Ross McParland New Homes business which was subsequently rebranded Sherry FitzGerald New Homes.

The new century kicked off with the acquisition of Cork’s leading residential estate agency, Burton Crowley O’Flynn, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald and now occupying a flagship office, housing both our Commercial and Residential business on Lapps Quay in the heart of Cork city.

The year 2000 also saw the launch of Mortgage Insight, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald Financial Services, providing independent mortgage and financial advice.

In 2000 our Chief Executive, Mark FitzGerald, came up with the idea of launching a national property portal and led the process of putting together the team, the partners and the investors that made it happen, with the subsequent successful launch of MyHome.ie in 2001. MyHome.ie quickly became Ireland’s largest and most innovative property website and, 5 years after its launch, was acquired by the Irish Times.

Meanwhile, DTZ Sherry FitzGerald was growing rapidly. In 2004 the company acquired the niche commercial practice of CS Tierney O’Neill as well as further strengthening the Cork commercial business by acquiring the former Collier Jackson Stops office.

In 2005 Sherry FitzGerald successfully diversified into the U.K. market with the acquisition of the 150 year old, central and West London estate agency of Marsh & Parsons. In the following year, Marsh & Parsons acquired another London estate agency, Vanstons, which was rebranded Marsh & Parsons, and in the subsequent 5 years we grew this network to 14 London offices employing over 200 people. In 2011 we successfully sold the Marsh & Parsons business leaving the business debt free.

The timing of the Marsh & Parsons acquisition also helped to protect the Sherry FitzGerald parent business during the depths of the property crash, enabling us to keep all our own offices open and 200 people directly employed. This made us the largest Irish property business to emerge from the crash.

In 2006 we launched two community initiatives supported by the Sherry FitzGerald Foundation. Firstly, the "Your Home Away From Home" which saw us underwrite the purchase of 5 Fontenoy Street, Phibsboro for Temple Street Children´s Hospital to use as parents’ accommodation for two families 365 days a year. We subsequently arranged two successful 10km Walkathons to raise funds for the project. Secondly, we were instrumental in the establishment of Amawele - a new national charity which now twins 85 schools in Ireland with schools in the Eastern and West Cape of South Africa.

In 2008 we were chosen by Christie’s International Real Estate to be their exclusive affiliate in Ireland. This partnership gives sellers of prestige homes in Ireland access to international markets. Likewise we can also offer the owners of luxury property abroad access to local expertise when they come to sell, via the global Christie’s International Real Estate network.

In 2013, we acquired our two residential franchise offices in Galway and Limerick and opened our first Blackrock office in 2014. Since its foundation in August 1982, the Sherry FitzGerald Group has grown from a small fledgling company in one location to a nationwide, diversified business operating in 88 different locations. Currently we employ 315 people directly in our 22 owned offices across a diversified residential and commercial property business (18 residential, 4 commercial), alongside our franchise business with an additional 69 offices throughout Ireland, separately employing over 200 people. Sherry FitzGerald Group remains an Irish privately owned business and committed to leading the marketplace as we have done over the last 32 years.
