Innismaan, formerly known as Villa Carlotta, was built in 1870 by the well-known architect Alfred Gresham Jones, as his residence. Gresham Jones’ work includes the National Concert Hall, the French Ambassador’s Residence on Ailesbury Road and Merrion Hall (now the Davenport Hotel). Innismaan stands in the centre of Queen’s Park and comprises a 0.9 acre private oasis in a highly sought after and convenient location. Built in villa style and displaying refined period detail, the house is indeed one of considerable architectural merit. Ideal for entertaining on a grand scale, Innismann is first and foremost a wonderful family home.

This double fronted two storey home with wide bay windows to the east and west sides at both levels, has been built and orientated to ensure that light floods through it. The approximately 5,600 square feet of accommodation is laid out symmetrically and provides a perfect balance between living and bedroom accommodation. The entrance hall with its circular light dome provides the access point for the principal rooms. The interconnecting reception rooms have a dual aspect and display beautifully intact period detail including joinery, cornice work, fireplaces and the original inlaid parquet floor. These rooms also provide beautiful views of the gardens south and west. The kitchen on this level deserves special mention with its high standard of finish and unique triple aspect. The distinctive staircase which splits in a north and south direction as it leads to the lower level, is also a further attractive feature.

Innismaan faces south overlooking the magnificent and secluded garden which is laid out in a series of formal terraces, the third level of which in particular, is ideal for children’s sports. Additionally, the well-planted grounds contain a picturesque walking route around the periphery of the property. The grounds really do provide for the ultimate rus in urbe setting. It is thought that the gardens at Innismaan were originally designed by the landscape architect Ninian Niven, who had worked as a curator of the Botanic Gardens.

Situated within a small cul de sac off the Monkstown Road, this unique property has so much close at hand, including excellent transport routes for bus and DART, numerous schools and the villages of Monkstown and Blackrock. The seafront with swimming areas are only a few minutes’ walk away and the city centre is within 7km driving distance.
