Howth - €1m: The Woodside development off Balkhill Road, Howth, Co Dublin, was built in the mid-1980s and today has the privacy of matured trees as well as its sea views. The Mews House is to the rear, one of two houses sharing a courtyard and communal gardens.
Splitlevel and cottage-style, it makes the most of both views and its secluded location. With three bedrooms and two reception rooms over a floor area of 139 sq m (1,494 sq ft) it is for sale through Lisney, which is guiding €1 million in advance of its auction on March 23rd.
The split-level layout makes the most of the views, especially in the large, first floor livingroom. This has, on one side, double windows to a box balcony with views over the bay and, on the other side, double doors to the rear patio from where steps lead to the communal garden.
A feature of the mews is a high, atrium-style landing with glazed wall, the light from which spills through the entire house. There are two bedrooms off the landing, one of them en suite. The family bathroom, also on the first floor, has a bath, toilet and wash-hand basin.
Double doors between the hallway and diningroom on the ground floor hallway make for the option of opening the space into a single, large reception area. The kitchen, which has a range of wall and floor units, utility and third bedroom are also on the ground floor.
