In Brief

A selection of other properties new to the market

Clontarf: €825,000

Properties rarely come up for sale in the MKN-built 150 Howth Road development in Dublin 3 - not surprising since the developers kept many of the units themselves to rent out. There should be good interest, then, in a three-bedroom townhouse in the development which won a design award in 2002. The terraced house, for sale at €825,000 through Savills Hamilton Osborne King, has 107sq m (1,150sq ft) of living space and two underground car parking spaces. Features include quality timber flooring throughout, a spacious diningroom-cum-kitchen overlooking a garden and good sized bedrooms.

Malahide: €1.3 million

Ready to go sites for one-off houses are hard to come by along the Dublin coast which explains the AMV of €1.3 million on a large site with full planning permission for a detached four-bedroom house on Coast Road, Malahide. Douglas Newman Good will auction the site, called Vermont, on March 7th. Located close to Malahide village, the site has permission for a striking double-fronted Victorian-style house with views across to Lambay Island. The floorplan includes two formal reception rooms, a family room, eat-in kitchen study, laundry rooms and three bathrooms.

Churchtown: €420,000

A spacious own-door one-bedroom apartment in a small development off Landscape Road in Churchtown, Dublin 14, is on the market at €420,000 through Sherry FitzGerald. Crannagh Hall is a scheme of 14 units set behind electric gates and number 1 is a good sized apartment with 55sq m (600 sq ft) including a large open plan livingroom-cum-diningroom overlooking a communal garden. Timber flooring runs through to the double bedroom which has fitted storage. Residents share communal parking in the low-rise scheme which is within easy reach of Windy Arbour Luas station. Service charge is €1,200 pa.

Dublin 16: €1.7 million

They don't build them like this anymore. Number 9 Parkvale is a detached 1980s redbrick in a development built off Sandyford Road near the IMI in Dublin 16. The five-bedroom house has a generous 258sq m (2,782 sq ft) of living space though new owners will almost certainly update the decor and replace the kitchen and bathrooms. On the plus side, the rooms are large and well proportioned, and there's a big back garden (complete with fountain) offering plenty of scope to extend. A garage/workshop could also be converted. Sherry FitzGerald is asking €1.7 million by private treaty.

Rathgar: €890,000

An ideal city base, or an upscale investment for country buyers who want somewhere for the children to live in when they go to college, number 4 Brighton Cross in Rathgar is a modern four-bedroom villa style house for sale by private treaty through Colliers Jackson-Stops at €890,000. The redbrick terraced property is part of a development built 13 years ago designed to blend in with the Victorian streetscape of Brighton Road. The four-bedroom comes with off-street parking to the front and communal gardens to the rear. Inside, the 1,250 sq ft layout includes two reception rooms and an eat-in kitchen.
