No 35 Haddington Road in Dublin 4 is a stunning Victorian property located on the southside of the city. Situated within walking distance of popular areas such as Ballsbridge, Donnybrook, Grand Canal Dock, and St Stephen’s Green, this two-storey over-basement house offers convenience and charm. It is nestled at the Baggot Street end of No 35, a road that connects the city with the suburban streets of Sandymount. Smyth’s Bar and Asador restaurant, located directly across the street, provide easy access to entertainment for the new owners.
The house, built in 1843, features four bedrooms and spans a total floor area of 1,916 square feet. It has already undergone complete refurbishment, with every room stripped back to its bare bones. This means that no room currently has a defined function, allowing the new owners to customize the space to their liking.
The basement level of the house boasts two large rooms, a cellar, and a bathroom. Moving up to the ground floor, you’ll find two more spacious reception rooms and another bathroom. The first floor offers two additional rooms and a bathroom. The long garden at the back of the house is south-facing, allowing for plenty of natural light.
However, despite its potential, No 35 does require significant work. The ceilings have been stripped back to the rafters, and there is a lack of fittings and fixtures throughout the house. The new owners will need to address insulation, plastering, restoration, conservation, doors, floors, and windows. Additionally, plumbing, electrics, and kitchen and bathroom fittings will all need attention. It is highly recommended to consult conservation architects for this extensive renovation.
The stripped-back state of the rooms inside the house allows you to see the vast potential for accommodation. With hard work and the right builder, features such as the balustrade leading up to the front door, original fireplaces, and the staircases can be restored to their former glory, adding a touch of grandeur to the property.
No 35 is currently on the market for €950,000, and an offer has already been placed at this level. It is important to note that renovating this property will come at a considerable cost. While the heavy lifting in terms of clearing the house has been done, there is still a substantial amount of work left for the new owners. A budget of at least €500,000 would be necessary to make the house habitable.
Ultimately, No 35 presents an exciting opportunity for those seeking a work/home mix. The basement can be converted into offices, a clinic, or a studio, while the two floors above offer generous living space. In the past, some houses along Haddington Road have been successfully transformed into family homes. For example, No 66, which came on the market last year, sold for €1,924,933.
