RATHFARNHAM: €3.5mArt deco fans will find some interesting period detail at Thwaiteat 37 Woodside Drive in Rathfarnham, Dublin 14.

Double fronted and detached, the four-bedroom house still has its original fireplaces, picture rails and terrazzo flooring in the entrance porch. There is an art deco style front door and entrance gates.

The house is on the market through Douglas Newman Good for €3.5 million.

There is a plethora of rooms downstairs - most of which will require updating. These include two receptions rooms. The livingroom to the rear is a generous size with a bay window and French doors to the garden .

There is also a formal diningroom to the front and a kitchen/ breakfastroom with a shelved pantry.

Off a side hall there are three more rooms, and access to the garage. One of these small rooms is used as a utility area but was probably originally a maid's bedroom, says the agent. The other rooms are used for storage and laundry.

Rooms downstairs include a cloakroom, toilet and a closet.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms. The large front facing main bedroom has built-in double wardrobes and a picture rail.

As well as a main bathroom there's a separate toilet.

Outside, one of the nicest features of the house is the 145ft westerly rear garden with a neat lawn,hedging, mature trees, flowers, shrubs and hedging.

A rear low hedge has access to a further garden area with some fruit trees.

To the side of the house there's a garage with an up-and-over door, which the agent says could be suitable for conversion, subject to planning permission.

To the front of the house is a lawn and high hedging. A driveway sweeps around the front of the house.
