Anna Villas, Ranelagh: Euro1.25m Bookish charm in D6
Caroline Allen

         


MANY original features remain intact in this inviting mid-terrace two-storey dwelling at No 17 Anna Villa which offers a cosy bolthole just off Ranelagh's main thoroughfare. The ornate fanlight in the entrance hall is, according to the agent, mentioned in Deirdre Kelly's book Four Roads to Dublin.

The split-level staircase and ceiling cornice from the time of construction - 1830 - are also retained in the hallway of this beautifully proportioned abode. The main reception room, to the right, is enhanced by a period marble fireplace, polished timber flooring and original window shutters.

The solid honey pine fitted kitchen to the rear features fitted appliances including electric hob and raised Electrolux oven, Whirlpool extractor fan, Siemens dishwasher, and Whirlpool washer/dryer.

Spanning the full width of the house, the kitchen provides access to the south westerly rear garden.

White work surfaces are complemented by black and white tiled flooring.

The carpeted dining area continues the rustic ambience with exposed brick and masonry walls, fitted shelving, recessed lighting, and open fire with timber surround and cast iron and slate inset.

Period fireplaces and original shutters add to the charm of the two upstairs double bedrooms. The main bedroom has a marble fireplace with cast iron inset, original ceiling cornice and polished timber flooring.

The second bedroom incorporates a cast iron fireplace, dado rail and cable TV point.

The bathroom with its polished timber flooring, shelving, side panelling, contains the hotpress and is on the first floor half-landing. It includes a bath with shower attachment and tiled surround, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

Highlights: The fact that many of the original features remain in tact in this building will de"nitely add to its appeal.

The ornate fanlight at the entrance is original so too are the ceiling cornices, window shutters, staircase and "replaces.
