Polished Crampton redbrick

 Dublin 14/€1.495m:A neat Crampton-built redbrick house, lining up along similar homes on Whitethorn Road in Dublin 14, is in a clean and polished condition having been refurbished by its owners.

There is a pale colour scheme throughout punctuated by nice strong blues in the kitchen and bathroom.

The house first came to the market last July for €1.75 million, with the price later dropping to €1.65 million. Now it is selling for €1.495 million, "a realistic price given today's market," says the owner. On the ground floor is a long living/drawingroom that can be divided by the sliding double doors. Original features from 1948 include herringbone oak flooring, cornicing and picture rails. There are two slate fireplaces here too.

The oak-floored kitchen/break-fastroom has fitted pale blue units and a teak worktop. Built-in appliances include a De Deitrich double oven, hob and dishwasher. Double doors lead from here into the well-planted 70ft garden. There are four bedrooms upstairs.

The bathroom has blue tongue-and-groove panelling to dado level and a rolltop bath with claw feet, sitting on the oak floor.

The agent, Lisney, says there is potential to extend futher, subject to planning: should you want to acquire the skills to do this yourself you could enrol in the UCD architcure school at Richview, just down the road.
