A touch of majesty in a secluded enclave by the sea
But Royal Terrace is close to Dún Laoghaire’s bustling centre
This lovely Victorian two storey over garden level home is on one of Dún Laoghaire’s finest squares, within walking distance of the town, yet part of a quiet enclave separated from the hustle and bustle.
The house is on the west side and at the end of the terrace and is not overlooked from the back, making the long, walled garden a great spot for evenings.
The present owners have lived in this 221sq.m/2380sq.ft home for the past 16 years and are now moving to a smaller home.
The terrace was built in the 1860s and its layout is traditional for these homes, with the elegant and spacious interconnecting living room and dining room at hall level, the kitchen downstairs at garden level and the three large bedrooms and bathroom upstairs.
Throughout the house, the high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, old floorboards, beautiful panelled doors and shuttered bay windows have been restored and the atmosphere throughout is imbued with a sense of relaxed elegance. Some work needs to be done but the property offers a myriad of historic features that give it great charm.
There’s a fine, wide hallway, the living room and dining room have 12ft high ceilings and it is the only house on the terrace to have a bay window at first-floor level.
The garden level has been opened out to create a large breakfast room and kitchen. There is a family room off it with double doors that open into the garden.
Upstairs, the master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and there are two other large bedrooms as well as a large family bathroom.
The 100ft garden is walled and set out in lawn and decking with pedestrian access to a private lane.
