Donnybrook/€2m: A winding avenue leads to Fairgreen, Ailesbury Drive, Donnybrook, Dublin, 4 - a three-bedroom house on a secluded one-third acre site for sale through HOK Residential with a guide of €2 million.
With a floor area of 241 sq m (2,593 sq ft), Fairgreen has three reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room and Rationale conservatory. It goes to auction on March 10th. Built eight years ago, mature trees in the garden add to a sense of seclusion. The conservatory has brick walls, polished wood supports and a terracotta tiled floor through which a curving flow of hand-fired tiles by Homa have been laid by artist Sarah Daley.
The drawing/diningroom takes up a good space with French doors onto the rear patio. Here, like the rest of the ground floor, the floors are of German oak. The kitchen/breakfast room has a limestone floor in soft grey. Both areas have worktops in marble while the Seimatic fitted kitchen is cream-painted. A utility room has a door to the side of the house.
The breakfast room leads on to a family room where there are French doors to the patio. To the front of the house there is a smallish study with coving. A guest toilet off the entrance hallway has rustic-style tiled walls. The hallway is partly covered in limestone, partly in oak, and has understair storage.
Light spills onto the first floor landing from a window to the front and a Velux to the rear. The landing also gives access to the attic.
The main bedroom is good-sized with en suite bathroom and dressingroom, which has a feature triangular-shaped window.
A second, en suite bedroom has a mirror-fronted wardrobe, polished pine floor and attic-style ceiling. The third bedroom has polished pine floors, mirrored wardrobe and built-in shelving. The well-stocked garden wraps around the front, side and rear of Fairgreen. A stone outhouse acts as a wine cellar.
