Foxrock: €850,000 A detached four-bedroom house on Leopardstown Drive, Foxrock is new to the market with Lisney, quoting €850,000 by private treaty sale.
Woodbank at number 49 has 145sq m (1,560 sq ft) of living space. With its 50ft lawned back garden, good privacy and convenient location, this would seem an ideal upgrade choice for families.
The house was built in 1961 when there was not so much emphasis on density. Above the front porch, a broad balcony extends over the family sittingroom.
Inside, the wide entrance hall opens to a sittingroom which is semi open-plan to a formal diningroom through an archway. Picture windows let in an abundance of light and shelves for books and ornaments are set into alcoves either side of the fireplace.
There is also a family sittingroom and kitchen/breakfastroom with tiled floor. Upstairs, the main bedroom includes an en suite shower.
One of the best aspects of this house is its west-facing back garden, which is bounded by tall deciduous trees and colourful shrubs. An ornamental fountain in the centre of the lawn is set in a pebble bed and a terrace close to the house.
