Five-bed in quiet estate

Castleknock: A substantial Castleknock house is guiding region €1.05 million with local agency Sherry FitzGerald Lewis Beirne. Detached, with five bedrooms and 200 sq m (2,150 sq ft) of space, the showhouse condition of number 3 Woodberry will entice numerous viewers.

Woodberry is a quiet estate off Carpenterstown Road, close to Castleknock College and Mount Sackville schools. Quick access to the N3 and M50 are assets and the city is five miles away through the Phoenix Park.

The Tudor-look exterior is enhanced by a curved driveway and immaculate front garden. Birch flooring in the hallway continues throughout most of the house, with ceiling coving in the main reception areas.

An art deco fireplace is the centrepiece in the sittingroom, which has a bay window. Double doors open to a formal diningroom, with similar doors from here to a spacious conservatory. Through the conservatory doors is a raised timber deck. When the three sets of doors are opened, the combined space is perfect for entertaining. Cherrywood kitchen units have Corian worktops and a breakfast bar. Terracotta and mosaic tiles are laid on the floor and there is a gas hob. A utility room is off this and a playroom alternates as a family sittingroom.

The birch flooring is also laid in the upstairs rooms, where four double bedrooms and one single provide space for a good-sized family. Two of the bedrooms include en suite shower rooms. The smallest room has a staircase climbing to a large attic. With roof windows, this area - currently an office - could be converted to two bedrooms.

The family bathroom is a stylish space with a Jacuzzi bath. A garage space and side access leads to the south-facing back garden.
