In Brief

Ranelagh: €1.9mNumber 13 Park Drive in Ranelagh is a pretty cottage-style four-bedroom house that didn't sell at auction recently and is now asking €1.9 million through Sherry FitzGerald.

Park Drive, off Albany Road, is a quiet street where plenty of the houses have off-street parking, making it less congested than many of the neighbouring roads. This 165sq m (1,770sq ft) house has a bright, colourful interior with a spacious eat-in kitchen overlooking a big, almost square back garden. There are two bedrooms downstairs, along with a livingroom and study, while the upper floor has two big and colourful attic-style bedrooms.

Deansgrange: €595,000

A refurbished three-bedroom house at 34 St Fintan's Villas off Clonkeen Road in Deansgrange, Co Dublin, is likely to appeal to first-time buyers given its relatively modest price and mature southside location. The semi-detached house has an attractive light-filled interior extending to 79sq m (850sq ft) and is in immaculate order. There is a sheltered back garden and off-street parking. The ground floor has a sunny white painted livingroom opening through to a kitchen that's big enough to seat the family. The bathroom is also downstairs,while upstairs are the bedrooms, one of which is now an office.

Malahide: €1.7m

Grimes Real Estate Alliance has put an AMV of €1.7 million on a four-bedroom detached house at Grove Road in Malahide in north Co Dublin ahead of its auction on July 4th. Called Knockacarra, it's a modest two-storey house with 167sq m (1,800sq ft) of living space and potential to extend into the west-facing back garden. The house is set well back from the road, allowing for a long driveway and off-street parking in front as well as a detached garage. There are two reception rooms, a study and conservatory downstairs, while upstairs, two of the bedrooms lead to their own balconies.

Greystones: €1.3m

Hassett has put an AMV of €1.3 million on a pretty period house on 0.6 acres at Church Road in the heart of Greystones, Co Wicklow. Due for auction on June 27th, Marian House has lots of appeal as a family home though, given its central location, it may also be viewed as having development potential. The five-bedroom house, dating from the late 19th century, has around 148sq m (1,600sq ft) of living space, though new owners may decide to give up a bedroom or two in favour of an additional bathroom or two. The well kept grounds include plenty of parking space.

Enniskerry: €2.35m

Want to be alone? In that case, a modern ranch-style house on four acres of land surrounded by woods near Enniskerry in Co Wicklow might fit the bill.

It has lovely views over the Powerscourt estate towards the Sugar Loaf. The house dates from 1977 and has a big open-plan layout with a 33ft livingroom and separate large diningroom opening into a large conservatory.
