14 Healthfield Road, Terenure, Dublin 6, D06YD52

14 Healthfield Road is a distinctive and elegant Edwardian home, built circa 1907 by Thomas Stringer, tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac and set within magnificent south-west facing gardens. Despite its peaceful and secluded setting, the house is just minutes on foot from the vibrant villages of Terenure and Rathgar, approximately three miles from Dublin city centre, with an excellent selection of schools, recreational amenities and sporting facilities nearby. Frequent bus services provide easy access to the city, while St Stephen’s Green is around a 40-minute walk away. The attractive exterior hints at the exceptional accommodation within, extending to approximately 2,422 sq.ft. The house beautifully combines elegant original Edwardian features — including impressive ceiling heights and generously proportioned rooms — with tasteful refurbishment and modernisation throughout. The interior is a showcase for the excellence of high-end Edwardian architecture. Solidly built and cleverly laid out, this home is rich in period detail, such as original sash windows, ornate plasterwork, original marble and cast-iron fireplaces and high ceilings. The gracious reception rooms provide the perfect setting for both formal entertaining and comfortable family living with an inviting kitchen/breakfast room at the heart of the house. All this is balanced by 5 bedrooms and generous bathroom facilities above. Set on a large site, the gardens provide a truly private and tranquil retreat. Expansive manicured lawns are framed by deep herbaceous borders, raised sleeper beds, thoughtfully planted with a rich variety of mature trees, shrubs and seasonal planting to create year-round colour and interest. The seamless blend of formal landscaping, vibrant flower beds and established trees creates an atmosphere of exceptional beauty and serenity. A brick built shed doubles up as a utility room and there is a partly covered side passage to the front garden. 14 Healthfield Road offers a rare combination of complete privacy and outstanding convenience.
