A modern house at the seaside in Wexford, a two-bed by the Luas, an executive home in Howth and a D6W Edwardian redbrick are all on view this weekend
RECTORY GROVE, a small modern development in the seaside village of Duncormick in Co Wexford, has no less than three of its 13 houses for sale at present. One of these, number 1, a three-bed, was auctioned by Savills last week but failed to find a buyer at the advised minimum value (AMV) of €225,000. Now the price has been dropped to €199,500 to effect a quick sale. The two other houses for sale in the development are priced at over €100,000 more.
The development is near the beach and within view of Duncormick Church. The village dates back to Norman times when longships landed at Bannow Bay and invaders stopped in Duncormick before storming the walls of Wexford.
Built just two years ago, the dormer style house is in good decorative order throughout. It has a spacious sittingroom that connects through to the kitchen-cum-diningroom. The first of the bedrooms is downstairs, along with a bathroom, while there are two double bedrooms, one of them en suite upstairs. Joint agents are Brian Wallace Auctioneers of Wellingtonbridge.
On view Sunday, noon-1pm
CLOSE TO the Cowper Luas stop in Dublin 6, a two-bedroom terraced house at 18 Cowper Village, Rathmines is on the market through Savills at €445,000. With 60sq m (642sq ft) of space, it’s an alternative buy to an apartment for those who want their own front door and back garden. The ground floor has a nice bright kitchen to the front and a spacious sittingroom with French doors to the garden to the rear.
On View Saturday, 1pm-2pm
IN DUBLIN 6W, a 130sq m (1,395sq ft) three-bedroom house at 99 Kenilworth Park is asking €835,000 through Sherry FitzGerald. The pretty Edwardian redbrick has been fully refurbished and has a further bedroom at attic level where there is also a den. An ideal townhouse for downsizers with small sunny garden to the rear.
On view Saturday, 12:30pm-2pm.
A TERRACED Victorian house on Bray’s seafront needs total refurbishment but is priced accordingly, says Sherry FitzGerald which has knocked €90,000 off the price – it’s now €595,000. A five-bedroom house, number 6 Marine Terrace, has a fine bay-windowed bedroom overlooking the sea in a total floor area of 211sq m (2,275sq ft). There are two interconnecting reception rooms on the ground floor, one of which has patio doors to the front patio garden.
On view Saturday, 11am-noon
