Eaton Square: €1.25m: Eaton Square in Terenure, Dublin 6W, has all the conveniences of the village while a remove from the activity, as well as being an attractive green space.

The square is lined with Edwardian redbricks of which number 14, a mid-terrace five-bed with 217 sq m (2,340sq ft) of refurbished living space, is a fine example. It is scheduled for auction on April 19th through Lisney, which is quoting a guide price of €1.25 million.

The hall door has attractive stained glass panels and opens into a wide hall with polished timber floors and a dado rail. Off this, to the right, the period feel of the house is evident in the ceiling plasterwork and the white marble fireplaces in the front livingroom, which has a deep bay window, and in the interconnecting diningroom. Double doors open from this into a sunroom, which gives access to the rear garden and to the hall. Steps lead down from the entrance hall, past a toilet and understairs storage to the kitchen/breakfastroom. This is fitted out with cream Shaker-style units and a central island and leads to the low-maintenance rear garden. There is pedestrian access to a lane.

Upstairs, the first floor return has a bedroom and the family bathroom. Up again, the first floor houses a second bedroom to the back and the main bedroom at the front, which has another bay window big enough for a desk, as well as fitted wardrobes. The second floor return has another bedroom and a shower room while at the top of the house, the second floor has a fifth bedroom and a study.
