A rarely available property of its type and a genuine piece of local Rathmines history. Mullery O Gara are delighted to present this charming, historic stone Coach House to the market. This picturesque property exudes timeless character blended with an elegant, future-proofed, and stylish interior with the added benefit of a captivating sun trap garden complete with mature ash tree and sunny southerly orientation. Carefully restored by its architect and fashion designer owners, it effortlessly blends functionality with style. The property appears on maps dating back to 1812 as a coach house to the one of the three oldest and most historic buildings in the area (at the time known as De Vesci Terrace), which was then surrounded by open farmland. Today, the lane offers a quiet, peaceful setting only 5 mins from the hustle and bustle of Rathmines village with Grosvenor Square, with its bowls and tennis clubs, right on the doorstep.
Restoration of the coach house took place in 1993/94 when it was converted into a modern dwelling house. Original features such as limestone walls, slate roof and brick overhangs have been preserved and celebrated. Timber doors and windows feature throughout, as does a working fireplace.
The property has undergone numerous upgrades in more recent years inc. new kitchen and bathroom, new heating system and a stunning oak parquet throughout the ground floor.
The beautiful garden, extending to 12m, is a haven of peace and tranquility and offers ample dining, entertaining and relaxation space.
The deceptively spacious, bright accommodation comprises entrance hallway, W.C, kitchen, open plan living room/dining with timber French doors to patio space and garden, upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom. There is planning permission in place to further extend, should the need arise.
The surrounding area of Rathmines is well known for its wealth of amenities – all of which are within a comfortable stroll. Shopping, schools, the local library and an abundance of cafes, restaurants and leisure amenities are all on the doorstep including the Swan Leisure swimming pool and gym and The Stella cinema. The property offers quick and easy access to the city centre, Harold's Cross village and Ranelagh village.
This is an absolute gem – characterful and charming yet modernised with great attention to detail and quality. It boasts a wonderful garden for a property of its type in a tranquil, leafy setting in the heart of Rathmines.
Early viewing is advised!
