Howth: €1.8m A fine house in Howth has great views of Ireland's Eye, writes Fiona Tyrrell

Situated on an quiet residential road, Nashville House, number 6 Nashville Road, in Howth, Co Dublin is an impressive ivy-clad semi-detached house with sea views to Ireland's Eye and beyond.

Agent Sherry FitzGerald is guiding €1.8 million for the spacious four-bedroom house which is for sale by private treaty.

One of six summer houses built by Scottish builder Nash for his family, Nashville House dates from the 1890s and many period features remain intact.

With its unusually private and beautifully landscaped front and rear gardens and living area of 205sq m (2,125sq ft), Nashville House is likely to be of interest to those in the market for a spacious family home.

The house has been lived in by the same family for 26 years and new owners will almost certainly refurbish.

Access to the property is via a driveway with plenty of room for car-parking.

A short flight of steps flanked by wrought iron railings leads to black double fronted doors. Inside is a entrance hall porch with original ceramic tile flooring and a welcoming entrance hall.

An elegant drawingroom is unusually large taking in what was once the breakfastroom.

The diningroom has original sash windows allowing for plenty of natural light.

More modern touches were added to the cosy family room, which has a raised brick fireplace.

A bright galley kitchen looks out to a patio area.

A guest toilet with shower and utility room complete the downstairs layout.

Upstairs, a spacious landing takes has a large sash window which frames a view that takes in Ireland's Eye, Lambay Island and Dublin Bay. On a clear day views of the Mourne Mountains are possible.

The first floor has four double bedrooms, with two of the rooms enjoying great views.

Lots of work has been put into the large mature front garden and to the rear there is a well-tended smaller garden with an enclosed courtyard patio area just in front of the kitchen.

Howth village is within easy walking distance as is the Dart and local sporting and leisure amenities.
