Sprawling six-bedroom Summerville on Cross Avenue dates from 1807
What are now two of the most-sought-after roads on the southside of the city were once just simple avenues built by the Fitzwilliam family to give access to Mount Merrion House. Cross Avenue and Mount Merrion Avenue inMount Merrion, which is a mile long, was created by Richard Fitzwilliam, the fifth Viscount, so that the residents at the big house could have direct access to the sea.
One of the challenges with these three-storey properties is that the kitchen is traditionally at garden level. That was all well and good when there was staff to cart dinner up and down the stairs, but in modern times, entertaining across two floors is a bit of an inconvenience. Down at garden level there is a more casual livingroom that leads into a double-glazed Hampton conservatory. From here there are double doors out to a garden office with fitted shelves. Beyond this is a games room and two bedrooms.Up on the first floor is the main bedroom with extensive built-in wardrobes and bow windows overlooking the back garden. The second bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. There are two more bedrooms upstairs and a family bathroom.
