Description

66 Eglinton Road is a magnificent two storey over garden level semi-detached Victorian residence which stands on the southern side of this much sought after road and boasts a wealth of period detail throughout. The accommodation extends to c. 306 sq. m. / 3,294 sq. ft. and provide all that a discerning purchaser would require in this desirable location. A particular attraction of the property is the expansive south-facing rear garden, c 40 m/ 131 ft deep, a rare find in these parts. This is a truly unique and exciting opportunity to acquire a magnificent period residence of elegant and light filled accommodation throughout. Arranged over three levels and approached via wide granite steps, the main floor boasts a grand entrance hallway and two elegantly proportioned reception rooms with bay window to the front, large fireplaces and wonderful sash windows and working shutters. On the upper floor and return, there are four generous bedrooms, master ensuite and family bathroom. At lower level the entrance hallway leads into a TV room and then on into kitchen / breakfast room which opens directly into the large rear garden. At garden level, there is a large family room, wine cellar, a shower room, utility room and large study/office. Outside, the south-facing rear garden is predominantly laid in lawn and is bordered by stone walls on all sides and boasts a selection of mature plants, shrubs and specimen trees. The boundaries are clearly defined with old granite walling and the garden benefits from a feeling of wonderful privacy and seclusion. To the front, fine cast iron railings enclose the off- street gravel parking area, accessed through granite topped gate piers and bordered by mature and well-maintained hedging and planting. The cobble block pathway that approaches the granite steps is bordered by manicured lawn. A gated side entrance alongside the block-built garage and outhouses provides ease of access to the rear garden. Situated on the south side of Eglinton Road and towards the Clonskeagh end, the property could not enjoy a more convenient location. A deservedly popular residential location, a short stroll to the village of nearby Donnybrook and also easily accessible to Ranelagh. The property is within easy reach of nearby Elm Park Golf Club, Milltown Golf Club and Dublin City Centre is less than 3km away. The RDS, Merrion Shopping Centre, St. Vincent's Hospital and RTE are all close by. Some of Dublin's premier primary and secondary schools are also close by such as St. Michael's College, Gonzaga College, Sandford Park, St. Teresian's, Alexandra College, Willow Park and Blackrock College. UCD and Trinity College are also within easy reach and there are regular bus services to/from Dublin City Centre at either end of Eglinton Road. Viewing is essential and highly recommended.

PLANNING PERMISSION The property has been occupied by the same family since 1984 (before that, it was owned by another family from 1936). The current owners carried out extensive renovation work in 1985 and added a kitchen extension, giving directly into the back garden, in 2006. The couple considered the option of downsizing and got full planning permission (Planning Reference ABP – 318615 – 23, and Planning Register 4093/23), for a 174 m² bungalow, designed by Goodwin + Lee Architects, in the rear garden. However, the couple subsequently found very suitable alternative property into which to downsize and are now selling 66 Eglinton Road with the benefit of the planning permission.
