Property Description

Sunbury Lodge, 13 Sunbury Gardens is a very impressive 6-bedroomed semi-detached Victorian residence, providing 352 sqm / 3788 sqft (approx.) of wonderfully elegant light-filled accommodation laid out over three floors. Number 13, the largest of the houses in Sunbury Gardens, boasts all of its living accommodation at ground level and these fine reception rooms are perfectly balanced by the generous bedroom accommodation on the upper floors.
Standing tall and distinctive and occupying an imposing corner position off Dartry Road, this substantial home enjoys a wonderful outlook over the private gated park. Owned by the residents, this serene, secluded park of 0.3acre approx. offers mature sylvan grounds for both children and adults to enjoy. An incredible bonus with this city address.
Built in 1895, this beautiful house retains many original features synonymous with the Victorian era from intricate cornicing to decorative friezes to ornate ceiling roses and stained glass windows. Interestingly the external design and façade has more in common with the later Edwardian era with bay windowed columns, multi-pillared porches and crimped gable roof lines with many grand dormer windows dotted in a random fashion from all angles of the roof.
Lovingly maintained by its current owners who have been in residence since 1999, it now comes to the market seeking new owners. There is generous off-street parking to the front of the house and the meticulously maintained side garden leads around to the private rear patio garden – there is access from here to the garage. A roof terrace on the top return captures enviable views over the rooftops of Dublin 6 and is the perfect spot to enjoy some sundowners on a summer’s evening.
Located approx. 2 miles from St. Stephen’s Green, Sunbury Gardens has Rathmines, Rathgar and Ranelagh on its doorstep and is within a short walk of the Dodder Linear Park and Palmerston Park. The Luas stop at Milltown is at the end of Temple Road, just a 10 minute stroll away. The locality has an abundance of shops & restaurants with excellent quality food stores on Upper Rathmines Road and Dunville Avenue as well as those in the nearby villages. Some of Dublin’s best schools and colleges are nearby including Kildare Place, Alexandra College, St Mary’s College, Sandford National, Sandford Park, The High School, Gonzaga College etc. with UCD and Trinity College within easy reach. Sports clubs nearby include Brookfield Tennis Club, Dartry Health Club, Milltown Golf Club and David Lloyd Riverview. The nearby parks are truly wonderful additional amenities for walkers, runners and nature lovers.
