Dublin 15/£550,000

Almost an acre of secluded, landscaped gardens overlooking the Liffey Valley is a strong selling point of Mata-Rani, on Luttrellstown Road, Dublin 15. The four-bedroom detached house is expected to make about £550,000 at a Lisney auction on May 26th. Built in 1967, the 2,000 sq ft property is in good decorative order. It has a large livingroom with a Portland Stone fireplace, cedarwood ceiling and French door leading to a conservatory area and on to the diningroom. A family room, fitted kitchen and utility room completes the downstairs accommodation. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, there is a garage, car-port and side entrance.
