Description
No. 1 Prince Edward Terrace Lower is a truly stunning, two storey over garden level end of terrace early Victorian home which has been fully restored and refurbished with great sensitivity and flair in 2020. Featuring elegant proportions, high ceilings, and open fireplaces, this magnificent residence offers the discerning purchaser a perfect blend of modern conveniences and the original period details. Viewing is essential to truly appreciate the beauty of this property.
This double fronted home is accessed via an ample and beautifully landscaped front garden marked by the boundary wall and refurbished cast iron gate and railings with granite steps which lead to a wide entrance hall with a graceful and elegant staircase leading to the upper floor.
Once you enter the property through the hall door with its magnificent stained-glass fanlight, you get a taste of what is to come. The entire property has been restored with the assistance of a conservation architect, Studio AND. The front door was carefully draft sealed and redecorated along with the original windows which have been carefully restored and draft sealed and the original shutters have been refurbished and redecorated.
To the left are two magnificent interconnecting reception rooms which are dual aspect with matching marble fireplaces which have been fully restored and are fully functional. There is intricate original plasterwork including cornicing and central roses. The original joinery has been restored throughout the property, skirting boards, architraves, dado rails, picture frames and the doors. The study to the right is dual aspect with a fireplace and bespoke book shelving. The wooden floorboards have been fully restored and refurbished throughout the ground and first floors and have been finished in a pale matte lacquer.
Through a very decorative archway, stairs lead downstairs to the garden level and upstairs to the bedroom accommodation. On the first-floor return is an original full length arched window. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, and there is also a very luxurious family bathroom.
At the hall level return there is a glazed door with side windows which leads to stairs that lead down to the garden level outside. This level has polished concrete floors throughout. There is a double bedroom and shower room at this level. The bespoke Porter & Jones kitchen is a real feature of this magnificent home. The kitchen/ breakfast room has been opened up via an archway to create a dual aspect space looking outwards towards the front and back gardens. The utility room has bespoke joinery to the understairs which provides ample storage.
As part of the refurbishment works, the house has been rewired and a new heating system installed with bespoke modern cast iron radiators to upper levels and underfloor heating to lower and ground floors. Externally the lime render was fully repaired and replaced as needed before redecorating with the grounds and roof being insulated.
From the front door you are within striking distance of Blackrock Village and the myriad of amenities that it has to offer including a wide range of specialist shops, restaurants, Frascati and Blackrock shopping centres and fantastic transport links including the DART and QBC.
