A four-bedroom bungalow on a quiet residential road off Newtownpark Avenue is expected to fetch around £380,000 at a Gunne Residential auction on March 2nd.

Number 15 Fairyhill is located at the end of a cul-de-sac about half-way down Newtownpark Avenue, convenient for both the Stillorgan and Blackrock Roads. It is in good decorative condition and will suit a buyer keen to move in quickly The exterior of the house is almost entirely covered with Pyracantha and Virginia Creeper, giving a very pretty cottage look to what is essentially a modern bungalow. The porched entrance at the side leads to a square-shaped hallway with a stripped pine floor.

All the main rooms lead off the hall in circular fashion, creating a good flow for entertaining. The owner has opened out the sitting and diningrooms to create a very spacious split-level reception area.

This has terracotta and gold walls and a copper canopy over the painted brick fireplace. The dining end overlooks the back garden and flows through to a quarry-tiled conservatory. Off the conservatory is a cosy breakfastroom, also quarry-tiled, which would double as a study.

The kitchen has an integrated oven and hob. All the living areas and the main bedroom look out on the back garden.

The principal bedroom has mirrored sliderobes and a very large en suite bathroom. This has turquoise-stained pine floors and panelled walls. The fittings are brass and there is room for a sofa on a raised platform under the window. The second bedroom is a large double with built-in wardrobes; a third is also a double, and there is one single bedroom.

The gardens have been lovingly tended and the front driveway is cobbled. Mature palms and evergreens shelter the house from the road.

The back garden wraps around the rear of the house and is crammed with fruit trees, flowering shrubs and climbers. Crocuses cover the lawn and there is a small patio beside the storage shed housing a porcelain sink full of flowers.
