Agent Savills

Grace Park Cottage is a detached house, situated on secluded Grace Park Avenue, a cul de sac off the Drumcondra end of Richmond Road.

The redbrick, one-storey house has a bamboo hedge shielding the front from view. The house was built in 2005 by architect Liz Whelan and sold two years later to its present owner who is trading up.

The front door opens into a large, open-plan area, blocked into sections, with the dining table situated to the left of the door. To the right is a roomy, open hall area. Beyond the dining area is a dual aspect sitting room that has a lovely raised hearth, screened from view when not in use. Double doors open onto a small, decked, west-facing terrace that has potted trees and fragrant hyacinths. It was designed by Mark Grehan of Powerscourt Townhouse-based The Garden.

The Alno kitchen is hidden from view by a dividing half- wall. The galley-style space has granite worktops.

The master bedroom is to the rear of the kitchen. It has a wet room, en suite bathroom and a small, walk-in closet. A set of double doors opens directly from it onto the terrace. The second bedroom, a small double, is situated to the front and is adjacent to the main bathroom, a roomy, tiled wet room with a large hot press. This effectively gives each room its own bathroom – useful should the next owner wish to rent out a room

The cottage measures about 100sq m (1,076sq ft)and is asking €295,00 through agents Savills. The house has a D2 BER rating.
