he elegant tree lined St Lawrence Road is the most sought after address in Clontarf and No 56 has a pretty unique offering to the market. A double fronted period with all the period details you might expect of a late Victorian build with the added benefit of a 197ft long rear garden. Crucially the garden has access to the rear to Lawrence Grove which provides obvious potential for a mews site subject to P.P. for a sizeable detached family home with a strong precedent already established nearby. The main house requires some modernisation without doubt but has been beautifully preserved and offers both elegance and floor space (approximately 278sqm / 2,992sqft). The double fronted façade is aesthetically pleasing from an architectural point of view but internally it also makes for a more practical lay out than most pre-war properties. Originally constructed in the 1890s the staff accommodation was behind the kitchen at garden level and therefore there is no basement. The kitchen / dining room will require some remodelling but otherwise the layout will suit the majority of buyers who have decided to make Clontarf their long term home and need a property that will offer them options for a growing family or space to work from home. The ‘Potential’ on offer will be the key to the inevitable popularity of ‘Ballyneety House’ but the property presents well as is. The accommodation is immediately impressive with an imposing two storey double bay window façade which greets you as you approach through the wrought iron pedestrian gate from the street. Behind the stain glass timber frame door there is a beautiful mosaic tiled floor and 4 large reception rooms off the hall. The entrance hall and reception rooms were laced with all the fine period features that are synonymous with early Edwardian properties in order to impress your guests. All the intricate plaster detail, brass work, picture rails and ornate fireplaces are all beautifully preserved. The two main rooms to the left of the hall are connect with double doors, the ceiling height here is particularly noticeable and adds to the already established sense of light and space which is another unusual feature of the property in contract to other houses even on the same road. The aspect is East-West with the evening afternoon and evening sun pouring in to the garden and accommodation to the rear. The rooms on the return will need a re-think but this will afford the new owners the opportunity to put their own mark on the property and perhaps do something ultra modern to sit in contrast to the period style in the main house. Upstairs there are five large bedrooms and a fifth reception room overlooking the rear garden on the return, alternatively this room would make for a very grand master suite which could comfortably accommodate a walk in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom. The gardens to the front and rear are neat and well maintained, the rear garden in particular will again give the new owners an opportunity to take anyone of several interesting options up to develop this space to suit their needs. The luxury of a full length west facing garden with rear vehicular access is one only a handful of properties on the road still have. No 56 sits on a site of 0.2 acres and the garden measure 197 foot in length (0.1 acres) which could easily be divided to allow for a large mews house or alternatively a spacious garage, gym or home office which could accommodate the most active families and retain the rear access for themselves. The address and location is just about as good as it without question the best road this close to the City. St Lawrence Road is 4 km from O’Connell St in the city centre, 2km to East Point Business Park, 4.5km to Beaumont Hospital and 9.5km to Dublin Airport. The convenience of the location and the depth of local amenities are what create such strong demand for Clontarf. St Anne’s Park, a selection of Dublin’s finest golf courses and West Wood Gym and pool are all within walking distance from the front door. In addition to this there are a wide selection and variety of high quality restaurants, delis cafes and bars with numerous options for public transport with several bus routes and the DART at Clontarf Road all nearby. Early viewing is advised. he elegant tree lined St Lawrence Road is the most sought after address in Clontarf and No 56 has a pretty unique offering to the market.
