Belgrave Square is an idyllic square of Victorian residences in the heart of Dublin 6, equidistant from Rathmines and Ranelagh. Number 42 is a handsome two-storey over basement terraced home superbly positioned on the westerly side of the square, with light-filled, well-appointed accommodation (238 sqm / 2562 sqft approx.) and a lovely, private south-westerly rear garden (73 ft approx.). A large garage/workshop-office opens directly onto Cambridge Road, which offers development potential subject to the relevant planning permission.
Full of charm and character, this welcoming home is rich in period features to include ornate plasterwork, marble fireplaces, original doors and architraves, high ceilings and wonderful room proportions.
Number 42 has been the home of the late esteemed Irish artist Richard O Neill and his family since 1958. Born in 1923, Richard O Neill was a very lively and eclectic artist around Dublin and was a member of the Irish Exhibition of Living Art. His work is held in several collections including Trinity College Dublin, The Crawford Art Gallery Cork, The Waterford Gallery of Art, The Art s Council of Ireland and The Doyle Collection Hotels. Originally, he set up his studio in what is now the main front bedroom. He then built a studio in the garden where he painted the very large sized canvases, which can be seen around the house.
To the front of the house, a flight of granite steps leads to the hall level featuring an elegant hall, two impressive interconnecting reception rooms with many beautiful original features, and a kitchen on the return with steps down to the garden. Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The main room, spanning the full width of the house, has a wonderful vista overlooking the leafy and picturesque Belgrave Square, while the second double room overlooks the private, mature rear garden. The third bedroom, a generous single room, is positioned to the rear on the return. A family bathroom completes the accommodation at this level.
Several steps down from the front garden leads to the basement entrance. A neat lobby area leads into the inner hallway with good storage and a door to the rear garden. There is a living room, bedroom and shower room at this level.
The traditional railed garden to the front is laid out in lawn and bordered both sides with flowering shrubs and hedging. The secluded rear garden is laid out mainly in lawn bordered with mature shrubs. A paved patio is positioned off the kitchen and benefits from the sunny aspect and is perfect for outside dining and entertaining. To the rear of the garden is a large garage/studio-workshop, which opens out directly onto Cambridge Road and offers development potential subject to the relevant planning permission.
The location is superbly convenient for all the local educational, recreational and retail amenities to hand in nearby Ranelagh and Rathmines. The Luas at Beechwood and Ranelagh are a short walk away, while the M50 is within easy reach facilitating travel around the city and further afield.
All told, Number 42 is a very impressive, welcoming home on large, mature, sunny gardens enjoying a superbly convenient location with Rathmines and Ranelagh on its doorstep.
