26 Herbert Park, Ballsbridge

Following record sales on Herbert Park earlier this year, another of its fine semi-detached Crampton-built redbricks is on the market. It is to be auctioned by Lisney next month. Number 26, which adjoins the house sold by the O'Flaherty family in July, is expected to make over £3 million under the hammer on October 4th. The sale is being handled by Lisney director Tom Day. The three-storey house is in superb decorative order, its sunny orientation enhanced by the use of warm bright colours in the principal rooms.

The 3,250 sq ft house is laid out as a luxurious three-bedroom home. The top floor empty at present but has potential for three bedrooms and a bathroom. There are three reception rooms on the ground floor, including a large drawingroom and a diningroom. The kitchen at the back of the house leads on to a sun room that opens directly on to the 90 ft south-facing back garden. Upstairs, the main bedroom suite includes a large dressingroom. The second bedroom has an en suite bathroom. The top floor has three charming attic rooms and a fourth ideal as a bathroom.
