Dublin 14: New to the market with Douglas Newman Good is a well-presented 149 sq m (1,600 sq ft) four-bedroom semi on Clonskeagh Road, Dublin 14, due to be auctioned on February 19th.

A guide price of €775,000 is being advised for Heskin, which is set back from the traffic and directly across the road from the former Phillips factory. Given its prime location and showhouse condition, that sum could well be exceeded on the day.

This is one of those solid family homes with good gardens that owners will move into with the intention of staying until the family is grown.

An arched front porch and black-painted front door open to a wood-floored entrance hall.

Polished timber flooring continues through to a formal diningroom, with burgundy walls and a white marble fireplace.

Deep ceiling coving visually lowers tall ceilings throughout the house.

A separate sittingroom with pine flooring has a carved wood fireplace, flanked by custom-built units for books and audio equipment. French doors open to the back garden.

The heart of this house is the roomy kitchen/breakfastroom, with its soft green units, vaulted pine ceiling and wood floor. Glass doors access a rear terrace.

A utility room is fitted out for laundry use and there is a guest toilet. The family room has a vaulted ceiling with Velux rooflights and a maple floor.

Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms are doubles, all with fitted wardrobes and there is one single bedroom.

Also off the landing is a family-sized bathroom. Good gardens back and front will impress. Meticulously kept, the back garden faces south-west, with a terrace, a broad sweep of lawn, herbaceous borders and a number of well-grown specimen trees.
