Description

Royal Terrace House is an instantly appealing exceptionally attractive two storey over garden level period detached residence enjoying a commanding position on Royal Terrace Square in the heart of Dun Laoghaire. Located on the corner of Royal Terrace North and Royal Terrace West the house enjoys stunningly bright, spacious and generously proportioned accommodation that extends to approximately 520sqm (5,600sqft).

Royal Terrace House represents an excellent opportunity to purchase an outstanding period residence, immediately distinguished by its stunningly proportioned reception rooms at hall level and a Grand Ballroom on the first floor (which is currently in use as a bedroom), the house has the added benefit of a separate entrance to the side into the garden level allowing for parking of up to 4 cars.

Granite steps with wrought iron railings lead up to an imposing reception hall with stunning Italian stone floors where there are two very fine, generously proportioned interconnecting reception rooms on the right hand side. The kitchen is located on the left of the hallway, allowing for the heart of the home to be fully utilised and enjoyed with easy access. The return of the hall level houses a large guest bathroom, a wine room, pantry and laundry room. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three of which are ensuite.

The garden level of Royal Terrace house has been cleverly designed to house a fully self-contained two bedroom (both ensuite) apartment, with own door access and a private garden.
The current owners have not separated the apartment from the rest of the house but this can be done with minimum effort.

The main garden runs the entire width of the property and is approx. 10m in length.
The side garden measures approximately 36m (120ft) in length to include the car parking area.

This is a very sought after position conveniently located close to the extensive shopping centres in Dun Laoghaire town centre along with the IMC Cinema, the Pavilion Theatre and the Town Hall. There is an excellent selection of cafes and some of the best restaurants in South County Dublin all within easy access.

There are numerous primary and secondary schools close by and transport via a regular bus service in the Monkstown Road and Monkstown/Salthill DART station is just a couple of minutes' walk away. The aircoach services the airport from the village hourly.

Also within a short stroll are beautiful walks by the seafront and Longford Linear Park and the property is surrounded by a selection of tennis, rugby, football and hockey clubs and the marine and sailing enthusiast will be especially interested in the four yacht clubs and extensive marina at Dun Laoghaire Harbour.
