Dublin, Ballsbridge, Ireland

No. 25 Wellington Road is a period terraced residence of approximately 320 sq m (3,498 sq
ft), dating from the 1870s and standing on a site of some 496 sq m on one of Dublin 4’s most
celebrated roads. A protected structure (RPS No. 8401), the house retains its original
proportions and detailing — ornate ceiling covings, centre roses, marble chimneypieces and recessed sash windows — alongside a substantial three-storey rear extension completed in 2007/08, when the property was renovated throughout and both gardens professionally landscaped.

The accommodation is arranged as two storeys over garden level. At hall level, a pair of
interconnecting reception rooms forms the architectural heart of the house, each with a
Kilkenny marble fireplace, corniced ceiling and centre rose, linked by double doors and
running the full depth of the original building. The garden level holds the informal family
accommodation, culminating in a large kitchen and breakfast room where four sets of glazed
doors open to the terrace and the west-facing walled rear garden. In all there are four double
bedrooms, three of them en suite, a principal bathroom on the second-floor return and a
study with fitted bookcases and a box-bay window seat on the garden-level return.

To the front, a landscaped garden of gravel paths and box hedging is set behind wrought-iron railings, with off-street parking for two cars behind electric gates — a rare advantage on
Wellington Road. The house was repainted inside and out in 2025/26, with new carpets
fitted to the principal rooms, bedrooms and staircase, and is offered in walk-in condition.

Wellington Road is a wide, tree-lined road of predominantly period terraces on the west side
of Ballsbridge, close to the junction with Elgin Road. Baggot Street is within 450 m,
Ballsbridge and Donnybrook villages within 650 m and 800 m, and Herbert Park within a
ten-minute walk; St Stephen’s Green lies 1.2 km away. The RDS, the Aviva Stadium and
Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club are close at hand, and the road is well placed for a number of
Dublin’s leading junior and senior schools.
