Sherry FitzGerald Lettings are delighted to offer this handsome one bed apartment to the rental market. Built circa 1830, the property is at the western end of a short terrace of just four period homes. The owners have transformed the building creating four stylish one bedroom apartments.
The front facade of 185 years ago is all that remains; everything inside has changed. The internal walls have been removed to allow a modern open plan kitchen / dining / living space. This thoughtful updating of the building has resulted in handsome living spaces.
This distinctive building is presented in turn key condition and the individual units make lovely homes within walking distance of the city centre.

History:
In the years when this house was built, the world was a different place:
In February 1830 the 1st Roman Catholics take their seats in the House of Commons at Westminster, among them was the now famed Daniel O’Connell (for County Clare). In the summer of 1830, there is a widespread famine in Ireland because of a potato crop failure in the previous year.
Abroad, Charles Darwin is preparing to embark on his historic voyage around the world aboard HMS Beagle. In the USA, Andrew Jackson is president and Davy Crockett, the folk hero, frontiersman, soldier and politician who served in the Texas Revolution is killed at the Battle of the Alamo (1836).

As to the house itself, the Irish National Inventory of Architectural Heritage lists the building; stating: terrace of four two-bay three-storey over basement houses, built c.1830, set perpendicular to the street. End-of-terrace house has west-facing front elevation in contrast to other three south-facing houses. This terrace forms a fine example of domestic architecture in the first half of the nineteenth-century. Set perpendicular to the main street, it forms a distinct enclave, particularly with the railings and gates to its front site. The western end of the terrace contributes to the street scape, particularly with the retention of early fabric to this elevation. The railings and gate contribute to the street scape.
