€1.075m:HAINAULT Road, Foxrock, Dublin 18 is a quiet, leafy road of mostly bungalow–style houses with a subdued, suburban confidence. Avoca, 55 Hainault Road, for sale by private treaty through Savills with an asking price of €1.075m, has all of these qualities as well as the individuality of a recent redesign and refurbishment.

Built originally in the late 1960s, its large, lovingly-tended, southwest facing garden is restfully on view from most rooms.

Avoca has 165sq m (1,785sq ft) of floor space divided into three/four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a kitchen. The refurbishment is just six years old and adding seriously high, pitched pine ceilings to the sunroom, main bedroom and a rear drawing room has given Avoca a sense of soaring space, as well as a great deal of light.

The main bedroom, which has two walls of built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, has a self-contained quality. Light pours into the bedroom proper from a couple of Velux windows, as well as a side window, while the en suite, which has a wet room, has a high, wide window giving natural light. The rear-facing sunroom has three walls of window overlooking the garden, Velux windows and a tiled floor. Double doors leading to the sitting/diningroom can be closed to create privacy. An impeccable old-style formality in the sitting/diningroom is copper-fastened by an old-style, built-in drinks cabinet.

Changes to the entrance hallway have added another pitched pine ceiling and created a large welcoming space that is more in the nature of a reception room. The standalone primrose-coloured kitchen has polished granite worktops, integrated appliances, a window overlooking the garden and lots of built-in storage.

The rear drawingroom, affectionately called the green room by the vendor, is a relaxing place with a wall of windows overlooking the patio and a pitched pine ceiling with Velux windows.

A bedroom currently used as a study has a built-in pull-down bed and could easily convert to its original use.

Curtains and carpets, mostly of them beige or cream colours, are to be included in the sale. High hedging all around gives privacy and there is off-street parking for several cars to the front.
