Detached two-storey-over-garden-level house on 0.3 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds
You would expect to see high ceilings in a period house, but the ceilings in Avondale, a magnificent period house on Avoca Avenue in Blackrock , will have you raising your eyebrows to another level. Still, in the five large reception rooms, the ceilings are nicely in proportion with the large dimensions running throughout this fine house. The extra height makes the intricate ceiling coving, centre roses and chandeliers feel even more commanding, and gives the rooms that extra yard of elegance.
The current owners bought Avondale 25 years ago and refurbished the property, restoring many of the superb period features including the impressive stained-glass fanlight, and putting in new doors and architraves, and new tiled floors at garden level.The entrance sits atop a set of granite steps, and leads into a bright entrance porch with original tiled floor, feature fan light and intricate ceiling moulding and cornicing.
Downstairs at garden level, the main attraction is the big open-plan kitchen/dining/livingroom to the rear of the house. The bespoke SieMatic kitchen is designed by Houseworks, and has tiled floor, feature central island with Belfast sink, large gas Aga, marble work surfaces and tiled splashback. Display shelving, recessed lighting and ceiling coving finish off the look nicely. The dining area sits by a wide bay window looking out to the back garden, which is south-facing and gets sun all day.
