Description

All too rarely do family homes of such outstanding character and merit come to the market.
No. 6 Leicester Avenue epitomises all that is great about Georgian architecture with its generous, character-filled proportions and many of the very fine period features intact, including cast iron fireplaces, good cornice work and most of the timber flooring and doors. The current owners have sensitively upgraded and extended this fine residence without compromising any of the integrity or ambiance captured in the original era.
On crossing the threshold you are greeted by a beautifully proportioned entrance hall with original ceiling cornicing, timber flooring, picture rail and dado rail. Into the right are two very fine, light-filled reception rooms, both with dual aspect and retaining the original cast iron fireplaces, ceiling cornicing, timber flooring and window shutters. Into the left is a warm and inviting kitchen/breakfastroom with hand painted wall and floor units, a matching centre island unit together with the ultimate heart to any kitchen - the Aga. An archway leads off the dining area and through to the familyroom which is an exceptionally bright living space with an extensive use of glazing and a set of French doors naturally flowing out to the rear garden. To the rear of the entrance hall lies an original stained glass door which opens through to a large lobby with a generous utility room, a guest w.c. and a very fine staircase with excellent storage.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and main bathroom - three of the bedrooms are large doubles, the master has an ensuite and a dressingroom while the single bedroom is in use as an office.
Outside, the rear garden basks in its southerly aspect and breeds an abundance of mature and colourful shrubbery. The front garden is equally well planted and has shared access, however, the current owners have recently acquired full planning permission to create a separate pedestrian entrance. There is also off-street parking to the rear of the house.
Leicester Avenue itself, is a quiet, mature, leafy road just off the main Rathgar Road and midway between the villages of Rathgar and Rathmines. The area offers a vast range of top schools, choice eateries & boutiques and excellent transport facilities. City centre is within walking distance c. 2 1/2 kilometres.
