Thu 11 Nov 2007Elegance and light shines in Anglesea houseDublin 4: €2.3m: Much of the light and pleasure in the elegant 19th century houses on Anglesea Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, comes from their large rear gardens, at the end of which the Dodder river makes its meandering way.The resulting peace, green and wildlife is a boon on what is a busy road. Number 9 Anglesea Road, refurbished dramatically and with care during the last decade, has nicely exploited this natural advantage with a split-level kitchen/breakfastroom which not only extends into the rear garden but gives grand-stand views of its pleasant landscaping from both the raised working kitchen area and vaulted-ceiling dining space.
