Donnybrook/£950,000

Riversdale House, a detached period house in the grounds of the St Ann's apartment development in Donnybrook, Dublin 4, is back on the market. The six-bedroom house last changed hands in 1998 for a figure in the region of £700,000. Pembroke McDonnell is now quoting £950,000 prior to auction on May 30th. A large entrance hall has glazed doors leading to a large drawingroom with marble chimney-piece and ornate ceiling roses. There is also a family room and a panelled diningroom with access to a conservatory. The large L-shaped kitchen has been recently fitted with new units and appliances. Upstairs there are four bedrooms. The house shares the communal grounds of St Ann's and is liable for a £750 annual service charge.
