Walk-in bungalow off Stradbrook

Blackrock/€550,000-plus: A three-bedroom bungalow in walk-in condition, off Stradbrook Road in Blackrock, Co Dublin is expected to make €550,000 to €600,000 when it is auctioned by Lisney on April 16th.

The end-of-terrace house, at 15 Stradbrook Park, is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac and has the benefit of good off-street parking in front and a 110 ft garden to the rear.

With 114 sq m (1,227 sq ft) of living space this is a good-sized home that will appeal both to couples trading down from larger houses in the area, as well as to well-heeled first-time buyers, wanting a turnkey home.

The hallway has a glass brick wall between it and the spacious livingroom, which comes with recessed lighting and fitted shelving. If the room looks too neat to be true, it's probably because most of the family living goes on in the kitchen, a lovely bright room with a high vaulted ceiling and patio doors to the garden.

Recently fitted with smart Siematic units, a Stanley range and integrated appliances, it leads on to a well-fitted utility room with matching units.

Two double bedrooms and a large single complete the accommodation. One of these has an en suite shower room while the two remaining rooms share a bathroom with both bath and power shower.

The back garden is mostly in lawn with a large deck leading off the kitchen, and a dining area to catch the afternoon sun.
