This Victorian mansion in Foxrock is for sale... and it comes with a granny flat*
*Sort of.
WESTMINSTER ROAD MIGHT not be a location you’d have thought of to buy a property on, but it’s nowhere near that particular Abbey, promise.
Actually it’s in Foxrock in Dublin, and this mansion is quite a gem of Victorian architecture. What’s more, it comes with a coachhouse/mews that could totally be turned into a ‘granny flat’ – for a very swanky granny.
Hillside, Westminster, Road, Foxrock, Dublin 18 is for sale for €2,250,000 with Lisney via Daft.ie.
The front door is framed by a limestone portico with circular columns. Entering the building, the entrance hallway has a Georgian fan light over the hall door and an arch to the rear hall.
There are two drawing rooms – front and rear. The front drawing room has a bay window, a fireplace with a carved white marble mantlepiece, brass surround and a slate hearth, with folding doors leading to the rear drawing room.
The rear drawing room features a fireplace with a carved white mantle also and a large window overlooking the grounds to the rear.
The dining room has a varnished pine floor with a large bay window as well as cornicing work and a ceiling rose. It has a door leading to the kitchen/breakfast room.
The kitchen/breakfast room includes its own pantry and has a four-oven oil-fired Aga as well as an electric oven and hob. It has tiled floors and white-painted pine cabinets and exposed ceiling beams.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms, with the master bedroom featuring an ensuite with bath.
Included in the grounds of the property is a kidney-shaped swimming pool, a walled garden and formal lawns. Additionally there is a one bedroom coach house/mews.
