ON VIEW THIS WEEKEND

Househunters can get their skates on this Saturday, to view homes in D4, D8 and Killiney

A REFURBISHED semi-d artisan house at 2 Hill Cottages, Killiney Hill Road, Killiney, Co Dublin, has the added attraction of views over Killiney Bay and the Dublin mountains.

The two-bed gem is for sale through Savills for €525,000. The 65sq m (700sq ft) cottage is in Killiney village but has cobbled off-street car-parking.

Inside the rooms include an open-plan lounge and kitchen with a good range of maple units and cupboards.

The glazed dining area is the pièce de résistance and makes the most of the local scenery. To the rear is a large south-east facing garden and deck.

On view on Saturday from 1pm-2pm.

A TWO-BEDROOM apartment with a south-facing terrace in Donnybrook is in a scheme of eight apartments built five years ago. Number 4 Ransford is on Sandford Avenue, tucked in off Marlborough Road in Dublin 4.

The 109.7sq m (1,181sq ft) home comes with a mezzanine, used as an office and a mini-gym for those busy breaks from the desk. There is also a livingroom (with doors onto the terrace), a kitchen, two double bedrooms (one en suite) and a bathroom. Finishes include downlighters, Neff appliances, Velux windows and chrome sockets. It is being sold for €750,000 (down from €875,000), through Owen Reilly Property Consultants.

On view this Saturday between midday and 1pm.

THE FORMER COACH-house of Roebuck Manor in Clonskeagh was given a trendy overhaul about 10 years ago and now is up for sale for €745,000 through Allen & Jacobs.

Laid out over 105sq m (1,130sq ft) the house has three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a kitchen. The house comes to the market in excellent condition. Décor is fresh and unfussy rustic with solid timber floors, large windows feature and there's a few quirky touches.

A big selling point is the tranquil surroundings and the lovely private courtyard which belies its location in the heart of Dublin 14. Access is through the main gates of Roebuck Manor - great for a sense of grandeur. On view this Saturday midday to 1.30pm.

LAST WEEK in On View we featured 85 Heytesbury Street, Dublin 8, and would like to clarify that this is a three-bedroom house.
