House with space for three new mews

BLACKROCK: €1.75M:A HANDSOME, refurbished, end-of-terrace period house at the Blackrock end of Mount Merrion Avenue in Blackrock, Co Dublin, comes with planning permission for three mews houses at the rear.

Number 28 Mount Merrion Avenue sits on a quarter of an acre on the corner of Sydney Avenue. It is for sale by private treaty through Savills for €1.75 million.

The 271sq m (2,920sq ft), two-storey-over-basement, four-bedroom house has been extensively refurbished but has plenty of original features.

There are varnished timber floors downstairs and in most of the bedrooms.

Accommodation includes an interconnecting drawingroom and diningroom and a livingroom off the main entrance hall.

Downstairs, there’s a modern, tiled kitchen/family room and one of the bedrooms. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, the main one en suite, and a family bathroom with a cast-iron, roll-top bath.

There’s a mature walled garden at the back and, unusually, the property comes with the garden of the house next door. There is planning permission to build three 135sq m (1,450sq ft) mews houses on the two back gardens, according to the agent.

The house is very conveniently located, close to Blackrock village and Dart station, on a main bus route and a short walk from schools such as Blacrock College and Sion Hill.
