This villa-style home exudes such elegance, from its stained glass windows to elaborate period cornicing and its unique ceiling dome.
A stunning Edwardian villa-style home, ‘Clonard’ dates back to circa 1904, and was once home to Mr and Mrs Charles Campbell, later to become Lord and Lady Glenavy, who hosted parties with some notable guests from the world of music, the arts and theatre. Lady Glenavy was a renowned stained-glass artist and sculptor and the front door of Clonard boasts a beautiful original example of her work.
Evoking memories of bygone days when quality, design and style were never compromised, the property offers outstanding quality and elegance. Extending to 351 sq.m. (3,778 sq. ft.) approx. of bright and versatile accommodation on substantial private gardens of approx. 0.35 acres, the property enjoys exceptional interiors of elegant proportions with rooms rich in original Edwardian period detail.
From the high ceilings and original marble fireplaces to the ornate cornicing and original timber window shutters, Clonard has been restored and refurbished over time, effortlessly combining the original period features with modern classical architecture.
The entrance hall, with its unique ceiling dome, elaborate period cornicing and ornate panelled walls forms the centrepiece of the house, linking the generously appointed accommodation and flooding the space with an abundance of natural light.
