Glendalough, 44 Howth Road is an attractive five-bedroom red brick Victorian residence, ideally positioned on this well-established road in the highly sought after area of Clontarf. Set behind a traditional red brick façade with a beautiful bay window, the property extends over four levels (two levels at the front and three to the rear) and retains an abundance of original period features throughout, including impressive high ceilings, ceiling roses, decorative coving, red marble and cast iron fireplaces, original doors, and original wooden flooring.

The generous and versatile accommodation is complemented by a particularly expansive rear garden and a substantial garage with rear vehicular access, capable of accommodating up to three cars. There is potential for the development of a mews residence, subject to obtaining full planning permission. There is further potential to convert the main attic space, again subject to the necessary planning permission.

Accommodation

The accommodation is arranged over two levels at the front and three at the rear and offers excellent proportions throughout. At ground floor level, a welcoming entrance hall leads to two generous reception rooms, with the front reception room benefiting from the property's attractive bay window. The back reception room has an original french window. To the rear is the kitchen/dining room, providing a spacious everyday living and dining area with access towards the garden. The first return comprises a bedroom and a separate shower room. At first-floor level there are three further bedrooms, while the second return, forming the uppermost level of the house, contains the fifth bedroom and main family bathroom. Throughout the property, the impressive ceiling heights and surviving period detailing provide a strong sense of the home's Victorian character.

Gardens

To the rear, the garden which offers considerable outdoor space and plenty of scope for a new owner to make their own mark also features blocked sheds providing excellent storage and plumbed utility room, and an original Victorian outdoor toilet. At the end of the garden is a particularly spacious garage with vehicular access via roller-shutter from the rear lane. The garage can accommodate up to three cars, providing valuable off-street parking and storage.

Given the depth of the site and existing rear access, there is also potential to explore the development of a mews residence to the rear, subject to full planning permission and all relevant consents.
