Lying on a 1.4-acre site of mature gardens with a wild and walled garden, this late Georgian, Ber-exempt house dates from the early 1840s. With four reception rooms and five bedrooms, it retains many of its period features such as hall tiling, parquet floors, fireplaces, sash windows and shutters.
While in need of some renovation, there is planning potential on the site, subject to planning permission.
If planning laws were changed, obsolete offices could be converted into housing to ease Dublin’s rental crisis
