Sunnyside, Old Lucan Road

McDonald Property are delighted to present Sunnyside to the market, a truly distinctive and elegant late Victorian-style detached family residence. Originally built as a 19th-century gate lodge dating from before 1850, Sunnyside has been sympathetically transformed into an exceptional family home.

Occupying a private site of approximately 0.08 hectares (0.2 acres) on the Old Lucan Road, this remarkable property was extensively enlarged and refurbished in 1989 by renowned architect Brian O'Connell, seamlessly blending period character with contemporary family living. Extending to approximately 220 sq.m (2,373 sq.ft), Sunnyside offers spacious, light-filled accommodation of outstanding quality and charm.

Positioned within walking distance of The King's Hospital School and Hermitage Medical Clinic, the property benefits from excellent connectivity to the N4 and M50 road networks.

Approached through elegant cast-iron electric gates, Sunnyside immediately impresses with its striking architecture and timeless appeal. The welcoming entrance hall showcases many original features including traditional timber sash windows and beautifully preserved panelled doors. A bespoke American oak staircase and balustrade provide a stunning focal point, complemented by a magnificent Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired leaded glass window on the return, specially commissioned and crafted by the renowned Abbey Studios.

The ground floor accommodation is both versatile and generously proportioned, comprising a guest WC, two reception rooms, office, sun room, and an elegant open plan kitchen/ dining/ living area.

At first-floor level, the accommodation includes three spacious double bedrooms, including an impressive primary bedroom which was originally configured as two separate bedrooms. The primary bedroom benefits from an ensuite and walk in wardrobe.  A family bathroom, separate shower room and hot press complete the first-floor accommodation.

Throughout, the property has been meticulously maintained and enhanced, resulting in a home of exceptional character, warmth and distinction. Combining period elegance, architectural pedigree and a highly sought-after location, Sunnyside represents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique family residence.
