A gracious entrance hall immediately sets a tone of understated sophistication, where fine cornicing and beautifully reclaimed oak flooring create a lasting first impression.

Elegant double doors open out to the garden, enhancing the sense of flow between indoors and out, while a gentle transition leads to the kitchen below.

At return level, a beautifully designed bathroom enjoys a sense of volume and light, enhanced by a striking vaulted ceiling. The first floor hosts two generously proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the house and is rich in period detail, with original fireplace, timber floorboards, and intricate cornicing. The second bedroom, overlooking the rear garden, retains its original flooring and offers a quiet and restful retreat. A fold-down ladder leads to an attic room above, offering versatile ancillary space.
Externally, the property is further enhanced by a private, south-facing courtyard garden—an ideal suntrap—complete with paving and rear pedestrian access. To the front, a railed garden and residents’ permit parking add to the home’s convenience.
The location is second to none: quietly tucked away just off Lombard Street West, at the city end of the South Circular Road, yet within immediate reach of Dublin’s most vibrant amenities.
