An extended Terenure five-bed with a good back garden, a bungalow in Raheny and home on Westminster Road in Foxrock are all on view this weekend

A LARGE two-storey extension to a five-bedroom house in Terenure makes the most of its sunny back garden. An open plan kitchen/family room and the main bedroom suite above it overlook the garden of Somerton on Hyde Park, a cul-de-sac off Fortfield Road in Dublin 6. It’s a secluded space with a big decked area.

The well-cared for 187sq m (2,020sq ft) house – for sale through Sherry FitzGerald for €1,100,000 – has been recently refurbished by an interior designer. Its accommodation includes good-sized reception rooms with polished timber floors. The large modern kitchen, like the family room, has a cherrywood floor and there’s a playroom downstairs as well. Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms are doubles. Hyde Park is well-location for shcools – like nearby Terenure and Templeogue Colleges.

On View Saturday, 1pm-2pm
