Ardeevin Terrace stands at the top of a steep incline, above Dalkey DART station, giving it the twofold advantage of privacy and proximity to the amenities of the seaside village.

At the head of this row of mid-19th century redbrick houses, Number 1 is for sale by private treaty through Sherry FitzGerald, in the price region of £800,000 (€1.02m). The house has four bedrooms, enjoys sea views and requires some renovation.

The interior retains original Victorian features and the reception rooms to left and right of the hall boast deep bay windows, ceiling roses and matching marble surround fireplaces. Shutters and a glass door connect the livingroom to an extended breakfastroom and kitchen, with sliding glass doors to the back garden.

While the diningroom and livingroom require only to be redecorated, the kitchen/ breakfast area needs to be remodelled, and a conservatory would be an added benefit.

The gentle slope of the rear garden is split into three wide terraces, ample and safe for children at play. A back hall from the kitchen leads to a guest toilet and shower, and a generous utility room with access to the garden.

A glass door on the first floor return opens on to the roof of the breakfastroom and also in the return are the family bathroom and a small bedroom. The three remaining bedrooms open off the first floor landing. Here, the two front bedrooms have spectacular views of Howth across Dublin Bay. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite.

The two other bedrooms have deep built-in wardrobes, which could easily be removed. A large sash window above the hall door opens the landing to the sea view. At present, however, this is obscured by a partition creating a tiny room.
