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.
