HouseDublin (Ireland)

An outstanding, aesthetically pleasing redbrick detached double fronted Edwardian style period home of distinction and character that stands on mature well stocked landscaped gardens that extend to just over 0.2 acre. This delightful residence enjoys an unrivalled position on arguably one of the finest roads in Sandycove if not South County Dublin. It was one of the first detached houses on Elton Park, constructed for the Ashenhurst family and is unique in its design and makeup to the neighbouring houses. The extensive garage at the rear of the garden, accessed via the driveway to the side of the property, provides a highly versatile space with significant development potential.
Lisheen is a beautiful family home boasting wonderful proportions that are to be expected from the period. The spacious, bright, and airy practical living accommodation that extends to approximately 250 sq.m (2,691 sq.ft) has been superbly maintained throughout and is very well presented retaining all the period features of this classically renowned era.
The accommodation comprises a generous reception hall that opens to the drawing room on one side with bay window, ceiling coving and attractive fireplace with a wonderfully proportioned dining room on the opposite side again with bay window, ceiling coving and matching fireplace. A comfortable sitting room is next with a period marble fireplace with a door accessing the rear garden. There is a downstairs toilet and under stairs storage. To the rear of the house is the kitchen which opens into the breakfast room. A door off the breakfast room leads to the cloakroom and a step up to the utility room which concludes the accommodation at this level. Upstairs on the first return is the toilet and bathroom as well as bedroom 5/a study. On the first floor there are 4 excellent double bedrooms, the two at the front enjoying the extra proportions of the bay windows, the master bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room. From the generous landing a hatch with pull down ladder opens into a large, converted attic and store with two Velux skylights providing stunning views across Dublin Bay to Howth. There is potential to easily incorporate this area into the main body of the house.
The stunning gardens are a particular feature of this quality family home. The front garden has gated off-street cobbled parking for numerous cars, with a path leading to the front door. It is private, walled and bordered by high hedging whilst the remainder is laid out to lawn and planted. To the side of the property the cobbled driveway continues through vehicular gates to access the garage that spans the entire width of the site. This is exceptionally rare to find and offers potential for further development subject to the necessary Planning Permissions. The rear garden is an oasis of calm and tranquillity. It is very private and not overlooked, bordered by mature planting, trees and lawn. There is also a designated vegetable/fruit garden with apple trees. The rear garden measures approximately 37m (120ft) in length.
