The 10 houses in Grove Paddock, Stillorgan Park, were built in 1998 and sold well at the time, reflecting the demand for new houses - particularly in small exclusive developments in mature suburbs.

That demand is still there and Sherry FitzGerald has put a price of £650,000 (€825,330) on number 7, which is for sale by private treaty.

These houses are very much family homes with good-sized bedrooms, reception rooms and gardens.

This detatched house has five bedrooms, four of them with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom is en suite. The fifth bedroom is used as a home office and is fitted out as such with shelving and cupboards.

Downstairs, the living room is to the front with a bay window. Double doors separate this room from a more informal family room which has red oak hardwood flooring and opens out onto the back garden. There is also a formal diningroom.

The kitchen/breakfastroom is suitably family sized with cupboards lining two walls and a picture window overlooking the back garden. It has a tiled floor for easy maintenance and a tiled splashback. Off the kitchen is a utility room with access to the back garden.

The front garden has been partially cobble locked for parking and the back has been attractively laid out to include a large patio area divided from the lawn by railway sleepers.

It was clearly well planted when the owners moved in, as it is now maturing nicely.
