CARRICKMINES: �2M:A DETACHED redbrick house on Brennanstown Road in Carrickmines, Dublin 18, is for sale for around €2 million through joint agents Finnegan Menton and Daphne L Kaye.
Druid Hill was built in 1995 and is larger than its basic description as a detached four-bed might suggest. At 255sq m (2,750sq ft) it is similar in size to many of the houses in the area and like them has substantial mature gardens. It is on one-third of an acre and set back from the road behind electric gates.
The hall door is around the back where there is parking and a small garden while most of the focus of the house is towards the beautifully planted and maintained south-facing garden to the front.
The white-painted timber semi-circular conservatory makes the most of garden views and it opens into the livingroom and also into the left side of the house, where an open-plan breakfastroom and kitchen runs from front-to-back.
There is also a diningroom, a family room and a utility room. The inner hallway is double height which gives a good sense of space and upstairs there are four double bedrooms.
The main bedroom has a large dressingroom and an en suite bathroom.
The last time the house came on the market it was withdrawn at auction and subsequently put up for sale for €2.95 million. That was in 2004 and the house sold soon after the auction and has been an upmarket rental since then. It’s been freshly decorated for the sale and is in walk-in condition.
