Property Description

Built circa 1860, Lawn View is a beautifully restored period home on Church Hill, just moments from the heart of Enniskerry Village. Full of character and charm, the property forms part of Enniskerry’s historic estate village, renowned for its distinctive Gothic Revival and picturesque architecture. The house has undergone an extensive renovation, carefully combining its Victorian heritage and period character with a high-quality contemporary specification.

The handsome front façade was lovingly restored under the guidance of a conservation architect. Works include handcrafted Accoya replica decorative bargeboards, fascia, soffits and finials, together with new Accoya sash windows with brass hardware and replica period cast gutters and downpipes. The original elliptical-headed front door has been retained and complemented by decorative brass hardware and traditional frosted-glass coach lamps.

Ground Floor

The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating throughout, walnut flooring with stained teak saddle boards, substantial designer internal doors with period brass hardware and custom traditional architraves. The front bedroom features an EcoDesign inset wood-burning stove with sandstone surround and black marble hearth, plantation shutters, period wall sconces and a decorative ceiling rose. The adjoining front office has a deep-set window with plantation shutters and antique-brass recessed lighting, providing an ideal work-from-home space. The hallway is finished with extensive decorative panelling, Victorian-style black-and-white floor tiles, two closets and cleverly concealed under-stairs storage. A beautifully appointed bathroom features floor-to-ceiling tiling, a large vanity unit, low-profile walk-in shower with rainfall shower head, traditional chrome fittings and radiator, period-style lighting and a stained-glass transom above the door.

To the rear are two further bedrooms. The main bedroom includes a wall-to-wall custom-fitted wardrobe with built-in illuminated vanity and a large Georgian-bar sash window with granite sill. Its en suite features porcelain tiling, a double slipper bath, separate rainfall shower, traditional vanity unit and period-style chrome fittings. The rear bedroom also benefits from a large Georgian-bar sash window with granite sill and decorative ceiling rose. A Georgian-bar rear door opens onto a porcelain-tiled patio and seating area.

First Floor

An attractive open-string staircase with oak handrail, decorative panelling, carpeting and brass stair rods leads to the first floor. Walnut flooring and traditional custom architraves continue throughout. At the heart of the house is the impressive open-plan kitchen and living room. The vaulted ceiling incorporates four large Velux windows, creating a wonderfully bright living space. A 5kW Bassington wood-burning stove sits within a red-brick inset with black marble hearth and an impressive 60-inch honed Polar White marble surround.

Large Georgian-bar sash windows with granite sills and traditional Milano Windsor radiators add to the character of the room. French doors open onto a generous balcony/deck with composite planking and French-inspired galvanised and powder-coated railings, creating an excellent outdoor extension of the living space.
The adjoining kitchen is centred around a generous island and features quartz worktops and backsplash, hand-painted cabinetry with antique-brass handles and extensive storage. Appliances include an eight-zone Whirlpool induction hob, Electrolux double oven, Bosch microwave and Samsung fridge-freezer.

Sitting & Dining Rooms

The separate sitting room is an elegant reception space with a three-metre-high ceiling, decorative ceiling rose and ten-light brass chandelier. A restored antique Victorian cast-iron tiled fireplace with marble mantel houses an EcoDesign wood-burning stove, while the deep-set window is fitted with plantation shutters.
The formal dining room also enjoys a three-metre-high ceiling, decorative ceiling rose and brass chandelier. A restored antique cast-iron fireplace with black marble hearth, chimney-breast sconces and plantation shutters complete this characterful room.
