Sherry FitzGerald is seeking offers over £365,000 in a private treaty sale of a semidetached three-bedroom bungalow in good decorative order at 23 Westbrook Road, Highfield Park, Dundrum, Dublin 14. Built in the late 1930s, and extended in recent years, the 1,200 sq ft house would suit buyers trading down from a larger house in the area.
The garage has been incorporated to make way for the much larger livingroom/ dining room and the kitchen is a new addition. Plans have also been drawn up for a wrap-around conservatory.
Solid pine doors are a feature throughout and several of the floors are of polished timber. With the exception of those in the living/ dining room, all the ceilings are 9 ft high and give the bungalow a sense of light and space.
In the livingroom/ dining room the use of wood is a definite theme with a vaulted timber ceiling, timber polished floors and a bees-waxed pine fireplace with cast-iron and tiled inset. Double glass doors lead to the private side garden and a pair of Rationel windows overlook the front of the house.
Wood features in the kitchen/ break fast room too, this time in the range of cherrywood fittings at wall and floor level. A glass door leads to the side and garden, and there is a window over the sink. The hot-press is in the kitchen. Deep and roomy, it's double-sided and can be accessed from the adjoining bedroom.
The bedrooms are to the rear and side. The main bedroom has a bank of mirrored wardrobes on either side of the bed and overhead presses. The second bedroom has a window onto the garden and the third a Velux window. The family bathroom has decorative grey tiling, a cast-iron bath, shower, wash-hand basin, lavatory and panelled timber ceiling.
The large attic is suitable for conversion: neighbouring houses have successfully fitted two rooms into its space.
A side gate leads to the very private rear garden. Facing due south, it is mostly in lawn fringed with flower beds and shrubs.
