A FIVE-BEDROOM Victorian house overlooking the former Dún Laoghaire golf course is new to the market through Lisney at €1.8 million.

The double-fronted house at 7 Eglinton Park has been recently renovated but retains period features such as polished timber floors, fireplaces and decorative plasterwork and woodwork throughout (picked out in white paint against coloured walls).

Steps lead up to the front door, which opens into a generous black-and-white tiled hall. On the ground floor of the 300sq m (3,228sq ft) house there is a drawingroom with an open fire that runs from the front to the rear of the property. There is also a diningroom on this floor, with a door to a small kitchen.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, one en suite, and a bathroom on the return. There is also a bathroom on the lower level, along with a bedroom, sittingroom and a kitchen/breakfastroom with island unit. The 65ft long garden has a side entrance into it.

Preparation work is underway on the former golf course land, where several hundred homes are to be built by Cosgrave Developments.
