A LARGE three-bedroom house in a gated development in Ballsbridge has had its price dropped from €1.95 million to €1.65 million in an effort to sell.

The three-storey townhouse is in a quiet, Cosgrave-built development, at the junction of Anglesea and Simmonscourt roads, within striking distance of the Four Seasons Hotel. Number 12 Simmonscourt might suit an investor with college going children, or downsizers young enough not to be fazed by living on three levels.

The part redbrick house has a spacious 177sq m (1,900sq ft) of living space, with the front door opening into a large livingroom, beyond which is the big Aga kitchen - almost 20ft square, which opens to the garden.

Upstairs, there is a drawingroom and a former diningroom that could be used as a home office. There is also a useful utility room at this level.

All three bedrooms are on the top floor off a Velux-lit landing. All three are double bedrooms with good storage and they share a bathroom fitted with a sunken Jacuzzi bath.

A sheltered back garden completes the package.
