Terenure: €1.75m Number 17 Fortfield Drive in Terenure, Dublin 6W is a detached double-fronted four-bedroom house standing on a quarter-acre of landscaped gardens.

The selling agent, Pat Mullery of Douglas Newman Good, says houses on such large sites are scarce in Dublin and, as the development potential is limited to an extension (subject to planning permission), it will not be chased after by residential developers.

The 186sq m (2,000sq ft) house will be auctioned through Douglas Newman Good on November 24th. The guide price is €1.75 million.

The 45.5-metre (150ft) rear manicured lawn and bungalows behind mean the house is not overlooked and has views of the Dublin mountains.

The decor is traditional in style and comprises a large hall, downstairs toilet, lounge, diningroom, kitchen/breakfastroom , livingroom and utility room.

The main bedroom has a vanity area and bookshelves and is en suite.
