WITH A back garden that wouldn’t look out of place in Chelsea, and an airy, modern interior, 24 Mount Anville Lawn is new on the books at DNG, asking €815,000. The four-bedroom detached house, which is in a cul de sac overlooking the grounds of Mount Anville girls’ school, would suit trader-upppers who want to move straight in, rather than refrubish. The 180sq m (1938sq ft) of living space is centred on a big, airy kitchen/diningroom that opens directly into a formal diningroom, which in turn connects to the livingroom. Both reception rooms have solid oak flooring. There is also a sittingroom leading off the hallway. Upstairs, the main bedroom has Sliderobe wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. The three remaining bedrooms – two of which have great views over the contemporary back garden and the school playing field – share a family bathroom.
