Spacious four-bedroom property with 120ft-long back garden on quiet, tree-lined street
in my time, but I haven’t seen anything as intricate and detailed as the cornicing and centre roses which grace the high ceilings of number 4 Rostrevor Terrace. The huge, elegant drawingroom of this Victorian house infeatures three layers of elaborately patterned cornicing, and the finely detailed centre rose is surrounded by garlands, giving the room an added sense of grandeur.
With intricate plasterwork running through the hallway and diningroom, number 4 wears its age on its ruffled sleeve, and the owners have decorated the house with antique furniture and artworks, preserving it as a time capsule from another age. There’s even a vintage Bakelite telephone on the hall stand – good luck explaining to your teenager how that ancient piece of technology works.
Rostrevor Terrace is a quiet, tree-lined haven just off Orwell Road in Rathgar, and residents have the benefit of a small park to the front which separates the terrace from the main road, and offers privacy and tranquillity in this busy suburb. The house, built in the 1860s, has two storeys over garden level, with four bedrooms, and a mature, southwest-facing back garden that is 120ft long. It extends to a generous 436sq m , is Ber-exempt, and is for sale through Sherry FitzGerald seeking €3.
The room has tiled floor and underfloor heating, and two sash windows with working shutters look out to the front, with a charming window box seat under one of the windows. Exposed granite walls blend nicely with the country cream colours, and an archway leads into the family room, which has travertine tiled floors, a gas fire and a bay with French doors leading out to the back garden.
On the first floor there are three generous double bedrooms, with a fourth bedroom – a small double – on the return. The bedroom ceilings have more understated plasterwork, but are no less elegant for that. They also have sash windows and the three large bedrooms have working shutters. The main bathroom has a free-standing bathtub and double wash-hand basins set in a large antique cabinet.
