About this property

    Victoria Lodge is a substantial six-bedroom detached period residence standing on an impressive 0.3-acre (approx.) plot in the heart of Dublin 6. Retaining exceptional original craftsmanship alongside a substantial double storey extension added in c.1995, this home offers a rare blend of elegant period proportions, expansive grounds, and future potential.

    This impressive period residence beautifully combines gracious original character with comfortable modern living across two well-appointed floors. On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance and inner hallways feature elegant ceiling coving, dado rails, tiled flooring and a striking decorative stained-glass arch, together with useful under-stairs storage. The drawing room enjoys a tranquil outlook over the rear garden and features a marble fireplace, built-in storage and ornate coving, while the dual-aspect living/dining room is a wonderfully versatile space with timber flooring, bay window, gas stove, recessed lighting, built-in storage and double doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The well-equipped kitchen offers extensive wall and floor cabinetry, pantry, tiled finishes and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, complemented by a practical utility room with storage, hot press, cloakroom and external access. Two ground-floor double bedrooms, two guest wc’s and additional storage complete this level.

    Upstairs, the magnificent upper entrance hall sets the tone with its impressive 3.725m (approx.) ceiling height, decorative coving, centre roses and another beautiful stained-glass arch. The formal dining room is particularly impressive, featuring soaring ceilings, picture rail, centre rose, marble fireplace and a front-facing window with original shutters. The spacious main bedroom suite overlooks the rear garden and includes a bay window, dressing room with vanity and built-in storage, and a generous ensuite bathroom. Three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, each retaining period details including coving, picture rails, fireplace and original shutters, are complemented by a shower room and excellent additional storage. Throughout, the property retains a wealth of attractive period features while offering the space, versatility and functionality required for modern family living.

    The grounds feature a generous front driveway providing off street parking for four vehicles and a private, south facing rear garden bounded by original granite walls. Planted with mature specimen trees (including Lawson Cypress, Kohuhu, and European Ash), the vast rear garden benefits from side lane access, presenting an extraordinary opportunity for further residential development or tailored expansion (subject to planning permission). Inside, the home retains iconic architectural features, including 3.725m (approx.) high ceilings, marble fireplaces, working window shutters, ceiling coving, centre roses, and stained-glass arches.

    Situated on Terenure Road East at the junction of Rathgar, Terenure, Victoria Lodge benefits from immediate access to South Dublin’s most vibrant village hubs. Residents can enjoy an array of boutique shops, artisan delis, fine dining, local cafes, as well as the Stella Cinema and Swan Shopping Centre in nearby Rathmines. Excellent educational options surround the property, including leading schools such as Terenure College, St. Mary’s College, The High School, Alexandra College, Stratford College, and Rathgar National School. Outdoor recreation is close at hand with Bushy Park, Palmerston Park all within short walking distance. The area is exceptionally well serviced by frequent public transport providing swift connections through Rathgar, Rathmines and directly into Dublin City Centre.
