No. 5 Orwell Park is a hugely impressive, handsome late Victorian family home superbly positioned on this prestigious tree lined road between Rathgar and Dartry in the heart of Dublin 6.
The property comes to the market in excellent condition, with rooms of elegant proportions and interiors rich in period detail to include high ceilings both down- and upstairs, fireplaces, coving and sash windows - all synonymous with the Victorian era. No stone was left unturned in refurbishing and architecturally redesigning this property, incorporating original features and room proportions whilst blending perfectly with modern living.
As soon as one steps into the elegant hallway, one cannot help but be impressed – warm rich tones and stunning period detail set the scene for what is to come. Located off the hallway are two generously proportioned reception rooms, which are wonderful for entertaining. The elegant bay-windowed drawing room is to the front of the house and connects with the light-filled second drawing room/ dining room that also enjoys access to the rear garden. At the heart of this home is a light-filled kitchen and open plan living / dining area that enjoys picturesque views to the rear garden. Completing the accommodation at this level is a utility room, guest wc / shower room and pedestrian side access to the garden. Upstairs the property has 4 large double bedrooms (all en-suite), with the principal bedroom spanning the entire width of the house. Already a substantial house as it stands, it comes with full planning permission to extend the accommodation further (WEB 1181/23) should your needs require.
The front and rear gardens are a real feature of this impressive home. Set well back from the road to the front there is a landscaped garden that provides ample off-street parking behind electric gates. There is also the benefit of vehicular side access that provides additional secure parking and leads to the rear of the property. The landscaped rear garden is laid out mainly in lawn and benefits from two patio areas, and is bordered by mature shrubbery, trees and beds, enjoying sunlight from dawn till dusk.
Superbly positioned within close proximity to an extensive choice of amenities including excellent shopping, educational and recreational facilities at Rathgar, Rathmines, Ranelagh and Terenure villages. Some of Dublin's best primary and secondary schools are within easy reach and the city centre is approximately 2.5 miles from the property. Orwell Park is well serviced by bus routes and is within walking distance to the Luas. The location is terrific - an area with a real sense of community and a wide choice of sports clubs to include Rathgar Tennis Club, Milltown Golf Club, David Lloyd Riverview, Dartry Fitness and Brookfield Tennis Club, with Palmerston Park and the Dodder linear park just around the corner. Dublin's principal places of business are also within an easy commute, as is the airport via the M50.
