Harold's Cross: With a guide price of €605,000, the semi-detached house for sale at 81 Kenilworth Park near Harold's Cross in Dublin 6W provides a great opportunity to acquire one of the lovely Edwardian homes on this street.

Blending in with the look of the street, the redbrick façade also features bay windows with stained glass detail.

The main entrance at the side of the house leads through the hall to a cosy yet spacious livingroom. With its bay windows and another set of windows to the right, a good bit of light illuminates the room despite its northeast view. An original, restored cast-iron fireplace serves as a focal point among the brick-red walls.

The diningroom in yellow leads off this, and features a fireplace as well as a wall curving elegantly to the door leading to the back garden. Both rooms also have original wooden floorboards.

Going right from the hall, past the under-stairs storage and down the few steps to the back, the large kitchen has ample room for a dining area. The fireplace here is ornamental but could be reinstated to function again; the floor is attractively tiled.

French doors to the back of the kitchen open to the garden, which is quite private and has been well tended. A shed houses the oil-fired gas heating and is also plumbed for a washer and dryer. The side of the house has been fitted with roofing so, with both front and rear access, it makes perfect storage for bicycles. At the top of the stairs, a good-sized single bedroom looks out over the garden. Used currently as a children's room, it also features a fireplace. The bathroom a few steps down the hall has a bath attractively set into the wall with deep blue tiles. The bath also has a power shower and extra storage space built-in under the tub. A door in the ceiling opens to the smaller attic.

Up several stairs are the remaining two bedrooms: a large double room to the right, and the very roomy main bedroom straight ahead.

Both feature fireplaces, and the main bedroom in particular has a great deal of light with its two windows facing to the front of the house. From the landing, there is access to the attic, which is partially floored.

The property will be auctioned by Sherry FitzGerald and goes to auction on November 19th.
