From Donnybrook, Dún Laoghaire and Rathmines in Dublin to Kilkenny, there is plenty to see this weekend
- In Rathmines, Dublin 6, a Victorian villa-style house at 29 Leinster Road is new to the market with Savills asking €1.425m by private treaty.
Like many homes of this design, it’s deceptively spacious, with 202sq m (2,174sq ft) of living space, and a garden that is almost 80ft long to the rear. It’s a listed house, rich in period detail, but also in need of a good deal of work. A flight of granite steps leads to the front door which opens into a lofty hallway. There are basically four large rooms at this level, a pair on either side of the hallway, and each pair interconnecting. On one side is a drawingroom and diningroom, on the other side are two bedrooms.
The ground floor has two further bedrooms, an attractive study and a kitchen. There is good potential to extend.
On view Saturday 1pm-2pm
- Also in Dublin 6, Colliers Jackson-Stops is asking €1.55 million for a terraced four-bedroom house with a decent back garden at 7 Ormond Road in Rathmines. The Victorian house has 186sq m (2,000sq ft) of space, including fine interconnecting reception rooms and an attractive cottage-style kitchen.
On view, Saturday, noon to 1pm
- In Donnybrook one of the terraced redbrick cottages close to Herbert Park has come on the market through Vincent Finnegan.
Number 56 Pembroke Cottages is a two-bedroom house with converted attic, bringing the total floor area to 78.5sq m (845sq ft). Decorated with strong colours and lots of detail, there is plenty of scope to rework the interior, as many of the neighbours have done. The asking price is €400,000.
On view Saturday, from 2pm
- In Kilternan, Ballycorus Grange, a large five-bedroom Victorian house set on 4.43 acres of grounds, at Mine Hill Lane, has an interior remodelled by architect Paul Brazil who also provided plans to extend. The asking price is €2.45 million
On view Saturday, 1pm-2pm
- In Blackrock, Co Dublin, a pretty cut-stone house calleld Ivy Cottage at Brookfield Terrace, is asking €850,000 through Sherry FitzGerald. The 155sq m (1,668sq ft) house off Carysfort Ave has three bedrooms, a large eat-in kitchen and a sunny back garden.
