Grove House, 37 Synge Street“It took almost six years to completely finish the property and at one stage there were 20 tradesmen toiling away for nine months. Grove House – number 37 – started life in 1864 as a finishing school for girls run by a Miss Collins. What is now the principal bedroom, with a large open fireplace, was, in its heyday, where the young ladies learned to dance. The rear garden, which extends to 16m has jasmine, Chinese wisteria and passiflora climbing over two pergolas, set over paving.
