Large home in need of renovation with long garden, mews potential and stunning sea views
Number 305 Clontarf Road sits on the seafront at the end of Clontarf promenade, a mere stone’s throw from the wooden bridge leading out to Bull Island and Dollymount Strand. The five-bed, three-storey terrace was built in 1902, one of a block of four designed by an architect who had admired the Italian-style homes of Dalkey. He christened this house San Lorenzo, and the name is etched into its stained-glass front door.
It’s not a protected structure, so converting the front garden for parking shouldn’t be an issue. An enclosed porch protects the beautifully decorated front door, with stained-glass panelling. The hallway is long, with all period features intact, along with some carved plasterwork under the arch before the stairs.The drawingroom has original pitch-pine flooring and a wood and marble fireplace with green-tile inset, while a deep bay window gives tremendous views out over the seafront.
The garden was designed by the owner as a wildlife haven, but it is now rather overgrown. At 130ft long, it presents enormous potential, with rear access to a lane off Seafield Close. It would be possible to knock the shed at the end and build a carport, or subject to planning permission, a mews house.
A second flight of stairs leads to the second floor, where there is a huge space currently divided between a large bedroom with sloping eaves and two windows overlooking the sea, and a large bathroom.Back garden with rear access to lane.
