DUBLIN 4 €1.8M:SOMETHING of a Sandymount landmark, Churchill Terrace is an Edwardian terrace distinctive enough, and close enough to the DART line, to be known and admired by many a passing passenger.
In a leafy cul-de-sac off the Ballsbridge end of Sandymount Avenue, the 10 houses which make up the terrace face the train tracks with their very own private tennis court opposite, as well a number of houses from different periods.
Houses don't often come up for sale on Churchill Terrace so it will be interesting to see how number 4, for sale by private treaty through Douglas Newman Good with an asking price of €1.8 million, will do in these less than certain economic times.
Well and happily lived in for long years, number 4 has been made a comfortably modern home with cornicing, sash windows, five original fireplaces and floorboards all retained.
It has three bedrooms (two en suite), two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfastroom and 158sq m (1,700sq ft) of floor space. There is rear vehicular access to a large garage. As with the rest of the terrace, number 4 has the feel of less frantic times in rooms laid out over a ground and first floor, a return and attic.
The main reception rooms run from the front to rear, have a pair of timber surround fireplaces, a box bay window to the front and French window opening to the patio and a landscaped rear garden.
The kitchen was modernised in recent years and has an Amtico floor and original brick alcove sheltering built-in presses. An enviably bright and private attic bedroom has two Velux windows and an en suite.
The main bedroom covers the width of the house on the first floor, has three windows and an en suite with a full and proper old-style sauna. Upkeep for the tennis court court costs residents a modest enough €200 per year.
