Wellington Road is located within the embassy ‘district’ of Dublin, a wide and stately residential road with houses dating back to early 19th century. This significant road is a tree – lined avenue of Victorian red brick homes like no other and within walking distance of Dublin’s Shopping and Business Districts. The development of Wellington Road created a beautiful street scape being among the most unformal elegant avenues of its era. No 33 dating back to c 1830, is a very fine red brick period family home of considerable elegance. The property was totally modernised and significantly refurbished to high standards in the mid 1990’s. The property is set back from Wellington Road, behind wrought iron electronically controlled gates which lead to a gravel parking area divided by well stocked hedging, and specimen trees providing unparalleled level of privacy and grandeur. The front garden is beautifully laid out with the parking set away from the main entrance to this wonderful home separated by mature planting, Holly trees, Japanese Camellia, and neat box hedging. No 33 is positioned at the Pembroke Road end and is approached by a pathway leading to a flight of granite steps with drooping wisteria, to a fan-lit front door which opens to the entrance hall. The hall door with stained glass fanlight opens to a bright and welcoming hallway. A delightful flight with banister rises gracefully with mahogany handrails and delicate spindles drawing the eye up to the ornate skylight. The skylight is framed by decorative plaster work and reflects light through the well of the stairs ensuring this area is flooded with natural light throughout the day. Off the hall level is an elegantly proportioned generous drawing room, dual aspect, and is 34ft long with 3.7m high ceilings, feature vertical sash window overlooking the garden to the front of the property and French doors at the other end leading to a mezzanine landing- balcony which leads to a lift which services all floors and overlooks the conservatory. The property benefits from exemplary period detail and features to include ornate coving, sash windows with working shutters and period style marble fireplaces with cast iron insets. At the end of the hall leads to a family bathroom. There is also access from the mezzanine area to the hall. The grand staircase leads to the first floor. This accommodation extends to a small bedroom with an en-suite on the return. The principal bedroom is located along the width of the property, which leads to a dressing room with access to a large bathroom en-suite. This level of the property would have originally accommodated two bedrooms. At ground floor level is a country style kitchen with feature coloured green AGA, integrated electrical appliances and is located to the front of the property. Off the hall is the dining room which leads to a wonderful conservatory sympathetically designed with double height where the lift can be accessed and a very special mural design of an Italian inspired landscape on the wall. Double doors lead to a wonderful southwest facing formal garden which enjoys all day sunshine. A study room, guest wc, storage and utility area complete the accommodation at this level. The garden level has direct access to the side to the front of the property. The formal gardens with pathways are stocked with beautiful colourful Clematis, Rhododendron, Wisteria, Winter Heath, Holly trees, Japanese Camellia, Ferns, Bay Leaf trees, box hedging and colourful shrubs. The entire has been maintained to a good standard but would benefit from internal modernisation given the age of the most recent over-hall.
