15 Ardee Terrace, Ardee Road, Dundalk, Co Louth

It's always lovely to bring a bit of history to the market, and 15 Ardee Terrace is certainly that: this listed property is evidence of the Great Northern Rail (GNR) policy of creating a company of people and places: its chief and first engineer, William Hemingway Mills, was responsible for Ardee and adjacent Brook Terrace, and they stand now as wonderful examples of late 1800's housing. Mills was responsible for creating the GNRI's brand of architectural style for the new railway company, and in turn created an identity: of company, place and people*.

Ardee Terrace enjoys a location that is within walking distance of town centre, train station and all amenities, yet it is just far enough away from the high street to gain more space and quiet.

Number 15 is a mid terrace two storey red brick-fronted dwelling of immense character - it boasts many original features, as well as some quirky add-ons. Crucially, 15 also has a lovely long back garden and a substantial workshop to rear, which has benefit of rear access to a shared lane.

Entering the house at the front, you'll appreciate the wide and bright entrance hallway with feature arch and long window at staircase.

There are two reception rooms to left: the first is a well proportioned room, and the second leads to the kitchen which is to rear of the house.

Upstairs, the compact bathroom with shower is at top of stairs. There are three bedrooms - 1 large single and 2 doubles. Some lovely cabinetry in the doubles, and plenty room for built in wardrobe space.

Going to the back garden of the property, which runs to approx 60 ft (18 m), it's a fabulous space for the next owner to reclaim and create a beautiful garden. It also has the massive benefit of a large workshop which in turn has secure access onto a rear shared laneway.

The potential which this property holds: to bring it into modern purpose and to create a wonderful garden space and maximise the purpose of this workshop: cannot be underestimated.

Please note the proeprty is a protected structure and is therefore BER Exempt.
