Monkstown/£500,000-plus

A substantial three-storey over garden semi-detached period house at 1 Knapton Road, Monkstown, Co Dublin, is expected to make in excess of £500,000 at a Terry Halpenny auction on April 14th. Fintragh is currently in four pre-63 flats but could convert back to a family home with little difficulty. It last came on the market in late 1996 when it fetched just over £300,000 after auction.

Since then, it has been refurbished at garden level where the two-bedroom flat has new double-glazed sash windows and a hand made kitchen. The sittingroom has an open fireplace and access to the back garden. At hall level, there is a drawingroom with timber floor, kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms. The first floor flat also has two bedrooms and the top floor is a one-bedroom unit.
