7 Raglan Hall, Clyde Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, D04P440

Number 7 Raglan Hall is a truly impressive, well-appointed 2-bedroom own-door apartment, located on the entire hall level of this handsome Victorian building. One of only 5 apartments within the original house, it is located on Clyde Road within an exclusive, gated development with secure parking in the heart of Dublin’s embassy belt. Comprehensively refurbished and modernised over the last year by its current owners, who have been in residence since 1993. No stone has been left unturned over the course of this extensive refurbishment programme, to include an extensive building and fire safety upgrade in accordance with current regulations. Furthermore, it has been significantly future-proofed, resulting in a very cost-efficient B2 energy rating – not something easily achieved in a protected structure. The new ‘fit-out’ includes double glazed hardwood sash windows, contemporary kitchen and stylish bathrooms, all combining to create and present a superb pied-á-terre in turnkey condition. The entire refurbishment project was designed and managed by the owners’ Architect, Seán MacGillicuddy, FRIAI. Extending to a very generous 134 sqm / 1438 sqft (approx.), this wonderful apartment offers well-appointed accommodation with a fantastic symmetry, 3.5m high ceilings and large sash windows ensuring a bright, airy and spacious feel throughout. Well set back behind electronic gates with both vehicular and pedestrian access, a gentle flight of original granite steps lead up to the hall door. On entering, one is welcomed into a large bright hallway, which leads to all the principal rooms. A truly noteworthy feature is the very large drawing room with dual aspect and 3 large sash windows flooding the room with light. Double doors lead into the dining room and from there into a separate, stylish, hand-crafted kitchen, making it all a wonderful space for comfortable entertaining. The main bedroom, which looks out onto Clyde Road, is generous with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room. A second large double bedroom, bathroom and lobby/utility area complete the accommodation. The location of this property cannot be overstated as Clyde Road is undoubtedly one of Dublin’s most beautiful residential roads. Within walking distance of St. Stephen's Green, Merrion Square, The National Concert Hall and many of Dublin's principal places of business including Silicon Docks at Grand Canal Dock. Herbert Park provides superb recreational amenities including Tennis, Bowling and bracing walks around its 34 acres.
