Stradbrook Hall is a cul-de-sac of about two dozen modern Sorohan-built homes off Stradbrook Road in Blackrock, Co Dublin, with a good open green space providing a play area for children.

Its near neighbour, 10 Stradbrook Hall, is also for sale with a price cut from €475,000 to €455,000. It is a similar house, but without the attic conversion.

81 Ballytore Road, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, €525,000, Lisney

The long, walled back garden is a strong feature of a 1960s house in Rathfarnham needing modernisation. The 120sq m (1,300sq ft) four-bed has a livingroom, diningroom and kitchen/breakfastroom downstairs, and four bedrooms upstairs, with a family bathroom and toilet. While dated, the house is well-maintained, says the agent, and a walk away from Rathfarnham and Terenure villages.

On view Saturday 11am-11.30am
