Blackrock redbrick with budding garden for €595,000

The quiet peace of Belmont Lawn, on a Saturday morning, was notable for the exuberance of green coming into leaf and bud and for a grassy common showing life after the long winter. There wasn't even a hum to be heard from the nearby Stillorgan Road.

Child-safe and adult-friendly, Belmont Lawn is part of the Belmont Court development of 100 or so houses built in 1989/90.

Tucked away towards the rear of the development, number 11 Belmont Lawn’s owner added to the surrounding greenery by cultivating a rear garden with silver birches, evergreens and hydrangea and a selection of plants and shrubs to the front.

With just one owner in its 27-year existence, number 11 has been well cared for and has had no changes made to the original layout. A new owner will likely want to modernise but the house as it stands, has everything necessary for comfortable living.

Detached, with a redbrick frontage and decent 144sq m (1550sq ft) floor area, it has four bedrooms (the main an en suite), a dining/livingroom running the length of the house, kitchen and TV room. Asking €595,000, the house is being sold by executors through Knight Frank. A nearby house, number 31, sold last November for €590,000.

The diningroom, slightly smaller than its companion livingroom, is to the rear and has double, timber-framed glass doors opening to the garden. The livingroom has a wide front window and coal effect gas fire with timber mantel. The TV room, with a window on to the front garden and green, is to the front on this level.

To the front, the main bedroom has an en suite shower, two windows and bank of built-in wardrobes with vanity unit. Two of the other bedrooms are to the rear, the fourth is front facing. The family bathroom has a bath and bidet.
