Description
Stafford House is a charming three bedroom detached Victorian Villa, built in the mid-1800’s providing 2,152 sqft. / 200 sqm. (approx.) of elegant and flexible accommodation, with the wonderful bonus of uninterrupted views across Dublin Bay to Howth to the rear. What really sets this property apart is the fact that it is one of only 54 properties in South Dublin with direct pedestrian access to the sea.
Beyond the attractive façade, the property has generously proportioned accommodation with natural light flooding the space. The accommodation comprises; entrance hall with guest w.c. , spacious living room and study. To the rear of the property is a large dining room with double doors from the living room and a kitchen, utility, boot room and original conservatory. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, two with stunning views over Dublin Bay. There is also a family bathroom, w.c. and winter garden/conservatory (possible fourth bedroom - subject to planning permission) at this level. The East facing rear garden is completely private and is mainly laid in lawn with mature hedging/trees and a patio area which is ideal for entertaining friends and al fresco dining. There is a sheltered courtyard to the South of the site that absorbs sunlight all day long. To the front there is off-street parking and side access to the rear garden on both sides. Due to its size, the site offers scope to extend subject to the relevant planning permission.
Originally Stafford House was one of four villas built to the same design and located on the seaward side of Strand Road. The four villas feature on the 1865 Ordnance Survey map of the area. It was once the home of the architect Frederick Morley who designed Sandymount baths (constructed in 1883). Three of these villas remain today although two of the villas have been extended in more recent times.
Enjoying an enviable location, the property benefits from one of Dublin’s most popular and convenient locations with an excellent choice of amenities within a short distance. There are some excellent boutiques, shops and restaurants nearby in Sandymount Village, Ballsbridge, Merrion Village and the Merrion Centre. Sandymount Strand, Aviva stadium and Sydney Parade Dart Station are all on your doorstep. Many of the city’s principal schools are within walking distance including Scoil Mhuire, Blackrock College, St Michael’s, St Andrews, Willow Park, Star of the Sea N.S., etc. Also close by are many of Dublin’s commercial centres, such as the I.F.S.C. and South Docks I.T. hub. The property also benefits from being within 15 minutes’ drive of Dublin Airport via the Port Tunnel.
