The Manse is a most attractive Victorian home built in a Domestic Revival architectural style that was very popular at the time, it is adjacent to the church on York Road in the heart of Dun Laoghaire. Built circa 1865 to the designs of Charles Geoghegan (1820 – 1908), an architect and engineer who was prolific at the time, other notable buildings include the National Bank on College Green, Boland Memorial Chapel in Glasnevin Cemetery and Allied Irish Bank on Arran Quay. An annex was added in approximately 1890 to the west gable end and there is an abundance of period features throughout including sliding sash windows, high ceilings, original chimney pieces, a granite façade, and cast-iron downpipes. The Manse is a protected structure (RPS No. 908) and now presents new owners with a wonderful opportunity to renovate subject to the necessary planning permission and create a fantastic family home.
The light filled accommodation extends to approximately 296sq.m (3,186sq.ft) and is configured as follows: an entrance porch opening into a gracious reception hall. Off this there are interconnecting reception rooms which would have originally been one room and could easily be reinstated. To the other side of the hall there is a drawing room and to the rear there is a large kitchen/breakfast that opens out to a courtyard. On the ground floor of the annex there is a living room and a kitchenette. Upstairs on the first floor there are six bedrooms and three bathrooms and there is a lovely outlook from the bedrooms on the northern side down York Road with a sea view from bedroom no. 5. The property is approached via a pedestrian gate opening onto York Road and there is a vehicular right of way through the main gate of the church. To the front of the property there is ample space for off street parking, it is currently laid out in lawn and measures approximately 12m x 12m with gated pedestrian access to the southern side opening into the side passageway and courtyard. To the rear there is a wonderful west facing garden which is laid out in lawn, measuring approximately 16m long x 12m wide, with a pedestrian right of way through the original entrance to the annex.
This superb family residence is located in a much sought after and highly desirable area of Dun Laoghaire just a short distance from the town centre, DART and bus services. There are a wide range of excellent facilities and amenities in Dun Laoghaire and Monkstown that include local and boutique specialist shops, shopping centres, cafes, bars, and some of the finest restaurants in South County Dublin. Dun Laoghaire has the IMC Cinema and Pavilion Theatre as well as the superb facilities on the seafront and promenade. Along with a selection of excellent primary and secondary schools there are many recreational and leisure amenities close by such as golf and tennis clubs and the Monkstown Leisure Centre with its swimming pool. The four yacht clubs and extensive marina at Dun Laoghaire Harbour with its two piers will be of major interest to the marine and sailing enthusiast.
