A stylishly refurbished four-bedroom semi-detached house at 5 Highfield Park in Dundrum is on the market through Douglas Newman Good with an asking price of £380,000 (E;482,500). The location is excellent - at the Milltown end of Dundrum and close to a planned Luas stop. The owners have gradually extended the original house over the past five years, ending up with 1,550 sq ft of accommodation.
Decorated and refurbished to showhouse standard, new owners of number 5 will just have to unpack. Downstairs flooring is beech throughout, there is a magnificent kitchen with Bosch appliances and the garden has been imaginatively landscaped.
Light paint colours on interior walls are easy on the eye. The sittingroom is cream, with a striking modern fireplace and beech floors. Doors open to a diningroom with French doors out to a decked terrace. A good-sized study at the front of the house doubles as a fourth bedroom.
In the kitchen/breakfastroom, limed oak units have black granite worktops and the beech floor continues here. French doors open to the timber deck.
There are three double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, with the main bedroom incorporating an en suite power shower and fitted wardrobe unit.
The owners converted the fourth upstairs bedroom into an up-to-the-minute family bathroom. They fitted a free-standing cast iron bath and a separate walk-in shower with curved glass block walls and mosaic tiling.
Outside, the back garden has been given the same attention to detail. Beyond the timber deck, there is a circular lawn edged with flower borders, leading down to a sunken terrace bordered with a lavender hedge. There is also a Barna shed and a water feature. The front is gravelled and cobblelocked, with a veranda porch and side entrance.
