An extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of the finest private landholdings in Dublin 6. extending to approximately 0.75Ha (1.85acres) on the corner of Temple Road and Richmond Avenue South in this highly sought after residential location in Dartry.
Set within the private grounds are three individual properties.
A magnificent double fronted Victorian residence, originally known as St. Andrew’s once occupied the entirety of this site and must have been considered one of the finest private homes in Dublin when built in c.1860.
The residence continues to enjoy beautifully proportioned reception rooms, the proportions of which, are rarely seen in private residences with generous windows overlooking the magnificent gardens and grounds. There are wonderful period details throughout a testament to the workmanship of the era of construction.
To the rear of the original residence, a modern purpose-built care facility was constructed which now provides extensive bedroom and ancillary living accommodation in addition to the main residence.
The elegance and grandeur of the original residence remains and with vision and foresight, could be re-converted into a truly wonderful private residence enjoying one of the finest private gardens in Dublin 6.
The original house extends to approximately 625sqm (6,727sqft) and the purpose-built accommodation to rear extends to a further 850sqm (9,149sqft).
There is a second substantial detached modern residence on the grounds known as Glankeen. Glankeen offers extensive living and bedroom accommodation and overall extends to approximately 400sqm (4,305sqft) with an additional 100sqm (1,076sqft) at attic level.
There is a charming detached Victorian gate lodge which would have been the original gate lodge to St. Andrew’s. This is beautiful property in its own right and extends to approximately 54sqm (581sqft).
There is dual vehicular access to the property from both Temple Road and also Richmond Avenue South in addition to extensive road frontage onto both roads.
The gardens and grounds of 48 Temple Road are spectacular. The property enjoys a curated selection of some of the finest trees to include Holm Oak, Sequoia and Wych Elm amongst many others. The gardens are laid out in level lawn with ample parking via electronically operated gates on both Temple Road and Richmond Avenue South.
Temple Road is one of the finest residential roads in Dublin renowned for its magnificent detached homes many of which have undergone multi-million euro refurbishments in recent years making this one of the most quietly exclusive roads in Dublin. The location is second to none, with Milltown Luas stop a few meters from the entrance on Richmond Avenue South.
The property is within walking distance of nearby Milltown and Ranelagh as well as easily accessible to Rathmines and Rathgar. Some of Dublin’s most sought after schools are within easy reach including Alexandra College on the doorstep.
This is a once in a generation opportunity to acquire a remarkable property with immense potential either to return St. Andrew’s to its original glory as one of Dublin’s finest private homes, or, to develop (subject to planning permission) a prestige residential development for which there would be exceptional demand in this prestigious residential location.
