Plenty of potential in Rathmines for €575,000

Number 5, lies at the end of the terrace on Charleville Road and has a shared entrance with next door via granite steps up to a Victorian wooden portico. The property enjoys period features and has strong potential.

This 148sq m (1,600 sq ft) house set over two levels has been rented so its use to date has been focused on maximising the number of bedrooms; what would have been a lovely drawingroom with an attractive bay window is now used as a bedroom.

The house has four bedrooms and a living and breakfastroom, but new owners have a canvas to create a substantial family home.

The owners of the property were granted planning permission in 2006, which has since lapsed, to extend the property to the rear in the form of a two-storey extension to include two bedrooms and off-street parking. The plans extended the kitchen, which is very small, and provided a further livingroom.

The real attraction of this property is the large garden to the rear, which extends a further 20ft beyond the wooden fence shown (below). There is plenty of potential to extend into this space or to create a sizeable green area. Even as it is, the house can be transformed back into a fine, three bedroom family home.
