Description
A very fine architect designed detached family home and adjoining gate lodge superbly located on this popular and mature residential road in the heart of Terenure. The house and houses behind in Glenavy Park were formally the site of Terenure Villa originally occupied by Sir Robert Shaw in circa 1850, part of the former Shaw dynasty of Terenure College. The house and grounds including the gate lodge stand on a large site of approximately 0.20 acres (0.08 Hectares), with ample off street carparking to the front, a large side vehicular access to the side which enables you to drive around the back of the house offering further scope and potential for further development, subject to the necessary planning permission. There is sunny south facing rear garden extending to approximately 40m (131 ft) in length.
On entering 84 Terenure Road West, you are greeted by the original gateway and the ancient piers with carriage stones historically for the original carriage entry into Terenure Villa which once existed. Even the original cast iron gates (which need to be refurbished) are still in the owner's possession to pass onto the new owners.
The main house is deceptively spacious and briefly comprises three reception rooms, four bedrooms with two additional multipurpose rooms currently used as guest/storerooms, two and a half bathrooms, utility, and fully fitted kitchen. The gate lodge is done up in old style with timber panelling and Liscannor stone/ brick fireplace and comprises kitchen/dining/living room, two bedrooms, and bathroom. There is also a private yard and two gated side accesses.
The property is superbly located a short walk to Terenure Village, a popular residential area located just 4km from St Stephen's Green. The area is extremely well serviced by regular bus routes to and from the city centre including the 15, 15A, 17, 49, 54A, and 65. The M50 is also within close proximity offering access to the road network and Dublin Airport. There is a wealth of amenities available within the vicinity including many excellent cafes and restaurants including Lotts & Co, Mayfield, Bellagio, Base Wood Fire Pizza along with local boutique shops and newsagents. The area also benefits from extensive shopping facilities including Lidl, Aldi in Terenure Village and nearby Nutgrove Rathfarnham and Dundrum Town Centre. There is a wide choice of sporting and recreational amenities in the area including Terenure and St Mary's Rugby Clubs, tennis clubs at Rathgar and Templeogue and a choice of golf clubs to include The Grange and The Castle. Numerous activities are also available at the superb nearby parkland at Bushy Park. This prime location is within easy reach of a number of primary and secondary schools including Terenure College, Our Lady's Templeogue, Presentation Convent and The High School in Rathgar to name but a few.
