The guide price is £175,000-plus for a solid redbrick period house overlooking the canal at 8 Dolphin Avenue, off South Circular Road, Dublin 8. The four-bedroom house will be auctioned by Finnegan Menton on September 23rd. According to selling agent Richard Carrigan, the house requires complete refurbishment but it does have many of its original features such as cornicing and fireplaces. There are two interconnecting reception rooms, a kitchen and scullery downstairs.
