Also in Dalkey: €1.27m Sherry FitzGerald is guiding €1.27 million prior to auction for a Victorian five-bedroom house at 4 Castlepark Road in Dalkey, Co Dublin, prior to auction on October 27th.

Located opposite the gates to Castlepark School, the redbrick house is part of a terrace of bay-windowed homes that are larger on the inside than their exteriors suggest. Number 4 has around 232 sq m (2,500 sq ft) with a terrific kitchen cum living cum dining area that was renovated and extended in 1999.

One of the nicest features of these houses is the wide hallway with its ornate plasterwork detail. To the right of the hallway are two interconnecting reception rooms, both of which have original marble fireplaces.

While these are excellent rooms for a party, the kitchen extension is the most lived-in part of the house with its large dining area overlooking the back garden and a seating area that would also make a good playroom.

Upstairs, four of the five bedrooms are doubles and they share a bathroom and shower room.

There is off-street car-parking to the front and a reasonably sized back garden. However, the owners are not selling the property's detached garage - currently rented out - which has access from a laneway.
