Tucked away in this exclusive enclave off Orwell Road, Woodberry offers substantial, well-appointed accommodation of 366 sq.m. (approx) offering an attractive mix of living and bedroom space, all of which enjoy pleasing views over the wonderful gardens. The gardens enjoy an extensive manicured lawn, superb tennis court, 'secret' garden, cleverly positioned sunny patios, not to mention a very large garage (50 sq.m. approx.) discreetly positioned to the side.
Home to the same family for almost 40 years, this lovingly maintained house has been a very happy home and has been host to many a family occasion over the years, including a wedding with large marquee in the rear garden. The spacious reception hallway and beautifully designed winding staircase offer a warm welcome to this appealing family home. Sash windows flank the hall door and a 3-metre high ceiling with a double height 6-metre ceiling in part add to the feeling of space and light. Four well-proportioned reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, cloak room, wet room and understairs storage are accessed from here. Three of the four reception rooms overlook and open out onto the rear gardens. The kitchen / breakfast room is positioned to the front of the property with a utility room, separate pantry and rear lobby off. Upstairs six bedrooms, home office/study, family bathroom and large walk-in hotpress are located off a large gallery landing. Five of the six bedrooms are double rooms with two of them ensuite; a third has its own w.c. A balcony is accessed off two of the three bedrooms positioned to the rear, offering panoramic views over the rear gardens, tennis court and 7th fairway of Milltown Golf Club.
Green Park has long been sought after in South Dublin circles. A unique development, it was built in the 1930's by the renowned Dublin builder John Kenny & Sons of Harcourt Street. Designed by architect Rupert Jones, each of the substantial 22 houses 8 of which are situated around a crescent green - were built to a different design. John Kenny built Woodberry to his own specification and lived here with his large family for many years. The house features many Art Deco influences both inside and out to include its symmetrical design and classic architraving and occupies one of the largest and most private sites within Green Park.
The location is superb - a wealth of educational, recreational and retail amenities are located close by. The local Luas stop at Windy Arbour is approx. 10 minutes walking distance away, whilst Rathgar village and local shopping on Churchtown Road Upper are also easily accessible. The property is 15 minutes (approx.) from St. Stephen's Green by Luas and the M50 motorway is very accessible. Terenure, Dartry, Dundrum, not to mention Ranelagh and Rathmines are all close by and are home to some of Dublin's best junior and senior schools including, but not limited to, Alexandra College, Gonzaga, The High School, Stratford College, Taney and Kildare Place national schools to name but a few - undoubtedly a key factor of consideration for discerning family buyers in choosing a location.
All told, Woodberry, 14 Green Park is a truly special family home, which offers the best of both house and gardens in a superb, secluded location close to all social and essential amenities.
