A recently refurbished four-bedroom house at 21 Knocknacree Park in Dalkey could make over £780,000 at a Lisney auction on May 24th.

Owned by the head of a leading construction company, the split-level house has been finished to an exceptionally high standard.

Knocknacree Park is a popular enclave of 1960s homes built with lots of windows to take maximum advantage of the distant sea view. Number 21 is decorated in a sunny villa style. There is a very good drawingroom with a striking Portland stone raised hearth and polished timber floor. The kitchen is very large, with a quarry-tiled floor, exposed brick walls and an Aga cooker fitted in a brick-lined niche.

From the hall, steps lead up to a bright gallery-type landing off which is the main bedroom, with its walk-in dressingroom and en suite bath room. Two further bedrooms have en suites; the fourth could be used as a study. There is a good basement utility room.

The sheltered back garden is landscaped for easy maintenance.
