A Hidden Victorian Gem with Modern Mews on 0.7 acre

House Floor Area: 464 sq. m / 4994 sq. ft
Mews Floor Area: 140 sq. m / 1507 sq. ft

Set on 0.7 acres of mature gardens, Rosney House is a detached Victorian villa with the main rooms opening off an Italianate-style gallery. There is a separate 4-bedroom mews house in the grounds.

The spacious inner hallway leads to the grand gallery-style central atrium, from which the main reception rooms and bedrooms flow. This central hallway is a perfect showcase for a beautiful collection of books and artwork, adding to the property's distinct character.

The house features two main interconnecting formal reception rooms. The drawing room, located at the front, boasts an attractive fireplace and impressive high ceilings. Next to this is a large dining room/library. The intricate cornice and centre rose work, with its delicate grape detailing, add elegance to these rooms, making them ideal for entertaining.

The main bedroom with ensuite overlooks the rear and side gardens.

In addition, there are three more bedrooms (one with an en-suite), a separate shower room, and a WC, all accessible from the central hallway.

At garden level the rustic kitchen, equipped with an AGA and pantry opens off the main hall. This level also includes a wine cellar, games room, utility room, and a fifth bedroom. There is family/TV room which leads via a conservatory to the garden. There are several additional rooms on this level.

Rosney Mews is a three/four—bedroom property with a floor area of 140 sq. m that was renovated and upgraded in 2018. This separate dwelling offers flexible options such as guest accommodation, a home for a relative, or a source of additional income.

The beautifully landscaped grounds feature a gravelled forecourt and lush gardens that evoke an old-world charm. A formal rose garden lies to the rear, alongside a greenhouse. The back area of the garden presents an opportunity for future development; the vendors previously secured planning permission for a separate entrance and a single-storey, two-bedroom bungalow, which, although lapsed, could potentially be renewed, subject to necessary approvals.

Situated just 12 kilometers' south of Dublin City Centre, Rosney House enjoys the best of both worlds. It offers peaceful surroundings with easy access to the bustling coastal villages of Glasthule and Sandycove, renowned for their award-winning restaurants, luxury day spas, specialist delicatessens, and trendy boutiques. Scenic coastal walks along the seafront and various marine leisure activities, including four yacht clubs, are all close at hand. Glenageary and Sandycove Tennis Clubs are also nearby, located on Silchester Road and Elton Park, respectively, along with numerous other popular sports clubs.

Glenageary Dart Station is approximately an 8-minute walk away, providing a swift commute to the city centre. The area is also well-served by notable schools, including Sharavogue, Rathdown, Holy Child Killiney, and Loretto Dalkey, with the Dart line offering easy access to St Michael's College, St Andrews, and Blackrock College.
