Tinhalla, listed as a protected structure, is among Ireland’s most historic homes and ranks as one of the finest period residences to be brought to market in recent years. This magnificent 4 bedroom end of terrace three-bay three-storey over basement house, built c.1830, projecting pedimented entrance porch and single-bay flat-roofed to north elevation is truly remarkable. Tinhalla forms part of an early nineteenth century terrace, which is full of interesting architectural details. It forms part of a group with the adjoining four houses which were built in the nineteenth century to accommodate the growing middle class. The survival of the original fenestration is notable, while the high-quality ironwork contributes to both the setting of the house and to the streetscape.

Period properties are unique and a rarity in Ireland which increases their desirability. Additionally, this distinguished home retains many of its original features, including high ceilings, sash windows, a stained-glass arch lobby, centre roses and picture rails. This Georgian dwelling showcases period embellishments such as pediments and surrounds on the windows and front door, along with charming, canted bay windows to rear. Square-headed window openings with stone sills, the windows are a mix of original timber sash and PVC. Basement area bounded by wrought-iron railings with spear heads and pinecone finials.
