Enjoy the lived-in feel of this period house which still has many of its original features

HOUSES that feel lived in make you feel instantly welcome, so clearly houses that have been around since Victorian days will make you feel right at home.

Today’s property is a four-bed detached house in one of the most sought-after locations in Dalkey.

Built in 1852 on the site of an earlier house it was originally known as Eva Cottage.

It is located beside a very pretty converted Methodist Chapel.

Throughout the property there is a wealth of original period features both from the original Victorian era and a later Edwardian facelift.

The viewer will also be interested to learn that this is not a protected structure.

Upon entering through the slightly raised and elegantly finished front porch, you are greeted with a high-ceiling hall with high ceilings.

There is a spacious dining room with bay window and a cosy drawing room also with bay window and the unusual feature of an adjoining butlers pantry.

There are three large double bedrooms on the upper floor.

The master has an en-suite shower room, while there is also a family bathroom.

There is a fourth bedroom or library on the lower floor.

The kitchen, breakfast room and family room overlook a 100ft long, private southfacing rear garden complete with patio, perfect for al-fresco dining. There is also a garden room.
