GLENAGEARY: €1.395M -One of the pretty colonial-style bungalows on Upper Albert Road in Glenageary, Co Dublin, has come on the market at €1.395 million through Douglas Newman Good, where Stephen Manek is handling enquiries.

Located near the Killiney Towers roundabout, the four-bedroom house s in need of renovation, but this doesn't take away from its charm. Kilpatrick is a neat, well-ordered house, warmed by an Aga, and with the advantage of a sunny 140ft back garden. Close to schools, the Dart, and both Dalkey and Glasthule villages, it will appeal to young affluent couples looking for their trade-up home.

The 1930s house gets lots of light flowing through its 131sq m (1,410sq ft) of living space and clearly there is plenty of scope to extend at the back or to the side where there is a small garage. Some of the houses on Albert Road have almost doubled in size with their extensions.

The house is set back from the road with valuable off-street parking. Inside, the hallway has its own fireplace with a granite surround. There are two reception rooms - a big, bright sittingroom overlooking the back garden, and a separate diningroom. One of the bedrooms can also be used as a reception room or study. The 16ft kitchen is a little dated, but it wouldn't cost a lot to revamp it, with new units built around the oil-fired Aga. All the bedrooms have garden views, either front or back.
