Four-bed family home in Monkstown for £500,000

A two-storey over basement house in the Monkstown Gate development off Pakenham Road in Monkstown, Co Dublin, carries a guide price of £500,000 prior to auction through Sherry FitzGerald on May 17th.

Number 4, a 2,000 sq ft semi-detached house has four bedrooms and is in good decorative order throughout, according to the agents. It has good off-street parking in front of the house as well as a 40 ft landscaped back garden with pedestrian rear access. A flight of steps leads up to the front door which is flanked by two pillars. Inside, the L-shaped hall leads to the two principal reception rooms - a diningroom to the front, and a family room with a marble fireplace to the rear. Both are long, rather narrow rooms with two tall windows allowing in plenty of light.

The ground floor again has its two principal rooms leading off a central hall. A family room has patio doors leading out to the back garden. The kitchen is at the front of the house with a good range of limed oak units. Off the kitchen is a utility room complete with hot press. There is also a bedroom and a lavatory at this level.

The main bedroom on the top floor is the biggest room in the house and has an en suite shower room.
