CRUMLIN: €325,000FORWARD PLANNING househunters on the lookout for a project might like 213 Captain's Road in Crumlin. The 1940s semi-detached house has been renovated by its architect owner and is in walk-in condition. But this is a two-bedroom starter home with room to improve.
The house is for sale through agent Sherry FitzGerald and has an asking price of €325,000.
The house is small, at 67sq m (722sq ft), but is bright and well laid out.
The front door opens onto a tiny hall, which leads into the sittingroom, a south-west facing space that is also the family’s diningroom.
A small fireplace has a concrete block mantel that creates a focus to the room.
An open doorway leads to the galley kitchen and allows light into the livingroom from both the front and back of the house. The back door has a cat-flap for feline fans.
Upstairs there are two double rooms, the main with his and her wardrobes, and the family bathroom.
Out back is where the property gets really interesting. There is a 29m (95ft) garden that is obscured at the end by overgrown foliage. There is room to extend out and create an end-of-garden studio or sunroom that would take advantage of the orientation of the house and create somewhere to enjoy the evening sun. The owners have already drawn up plans with their ideas for phase two but haven’t applied for planning permission.
The house next door has already been extended so you will get some spatial sense of what’s possible when you view it.
There is off-street parking for two cars and a pedestrian side entrance.
