Church Road: €1.1m Clara, Church Road, Greystones, a large detached Victorian house and quiet garden, stands just where homes give way to shops and the start of the town's main street.
So this site is in the heart of the town, a two-minute walk from the DART, near churches, schools, and next door to the main surgery. Given this location, there is obvious commercial potential, and with 222.9 sq m (2,400 sq ft) of accommodation, this also works well as a handsome family home. It will be auctioned on October 28th with Hassett guiding €1.1 million.
An arched porch with period red/black tiles leads into the hall which has an exposed polished wooden floor and staircase rising to the first floor return. To the left is an open-plan livingroom, kitchen and dining area running from front-to-rear. The livingroom has a bay window, cast-iron fireplace and period wood floor, and its dining section houses a large refectory style table.
The kitchen is outfitted in cherrywood cupboards with comprehensive integrated units, and pride of place goes to a navy Aga cooker.
A small study to the right of the hall connects through a pine panelled door to rear accommodation which would lend itself to remodelling. It currently consists of a seating area leading on to a galley-style kitchen, an adjoining utility room and through glazed doors to a conservatory currently used as games room.
The first landing has a large bedroom with an en suite and there is also a bathroom on this return. There are four first floor bedrooms. One with bay window is particularly fine. It has a splendid period fireplace with brass dome and red inlaid tiles. The room has two entrances from the landing and has bags of room for an en suite addition.
The front garden is set partly in grass, with space for car-parking in front of the house. A wide path at the side of the house leads to a recessed garage, and there is access to a rear courtyard which has period flagstones and old garden wall. This wall currently separates the house from part of its original garden, which is now overgrown. It has its own entrance which adds to the property's potential commercial or domestic development.
