Dun Laoghaire: €1.75m: A striking four-bedroom house at 27 Sydenham Mews behind Corrig Road in Dún Laoghaire has an advised minimum value (AMV) of €1.75 million, and is being auctioned through Douglas Newman Good on May 31st.

Number 27 rises through three levels, from the darker more intimate ground floor with its three bedrooms, bathroom and study/utility room, through a very open second floor with glass walls overlooking a terrace on two sides, up to the main bedroom on the top floor, set apart from the everyday life below it.

While it may be tempting to leave children to their own devices in the ground floor bedrooms, those with younger offspring could easily use the largest bedroom on the ground floor which has French windows leading onto a patio. This room has an en suite with Villeroy and Boch bathware and Hansgrohe taps, which are standard throughout the house.

All of the bedrooms have oak flooring designed to accommodate the underfloor heating.

Open-tread stairs lead to the first floor which has a livingroom with a high ceiling, leading to a dining area and kitchen made cosier with a lower roof.

The sitting and dining rooms form an L-shape around the mahogany terrace, from which they are separated by timber-framed glass walls.

The dining area is partitioned from the kitchen by a half-wall, with a top-lit square opening in it.

There's a utility room off the kitchen and a guest WC.

The main bedroom has low windows giving views into the livingroom and generous windows looking out onto the terrace and beyond.
