Features and description
‘Thornbury’ is a substantial semi-detached period residence occupying a particularly generous site on Bushy Park Road, one of Rathgar's most desirable and established residential addresses. Extending to approximately 310 sq m, the house is notable for the exceptional scale of its accommodation, wonderfully proportioned rooms and wealth of original character throughout. Now requiring refurbishment, Thornbury presents a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a house of genuine architectural quality and create an outstanding family home in the heart of Dublin 6.
The accommodation is arranged over three principal floors and retains many of the features that give the house its distinctive period character, including high ceilings, decorative cornicing, handsome fireplaces, tall windows, original joinery and an impressive staircase. The ground floor is particularly generous, with substantial living and dining rooms to the front, together with a study, breakfast room and large kitchen to the rear. Running along the side of the house is an extensive lean-to measuring approximately 15.20m in length. Not included in the stated floor area, this provides excellent ancillary and storage space and offers considerable potential in the context of a future refurbishment or extension, subject to planning permission.
Upstairs, the exceptional proportions continue with five generous bedrooms, a bathroom, separate WC and a dressing room. Original fireplaces remain in each of the five bedrooms and the upper floors enjoy excellent natural light. Additional attic areas provide useful storage space.
One of Thornbury's most compelling attributes is its magnificent rear garden, extending to approximately 110 ft in length and 55 ft in width. Predominantly laid in lawn and framed by mature trees, hedging and established planting, it enjoys a wonderful sense of depth and privacy. Combined with the generous front garden and off-street parking, the scale of the grounds is particularly impressive for such a central and sought-after location.
Bushy Park Road places the property within easy walking distance of both Rathgar and Terenure Villages, with their excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday amenities. Bushy Park is also close by, offering extensive woodland and riverside walks along the Dodder together with a wide range of recreational and sporting facilities. With approximately 310 sq m of accommodation, superb room proportions, original period character, extensive ancillary space and an exceptional rear garden, Thornbury represents a rare opportunity to create a very special family home in one of south Dublin's most enduringly desirable residential settings.
