A large four-bedroom mews house at 51 Raglan Lane, Dublin 4, has been put on the market with a guide price of £650,000. It is scheduled for auction through joint agents Hamilton Osborne King and O'Connor Shannon on July 6th.

The striking, granite-faced house, which was built in 1994, is divided into two distinct parts with the main section having three bedrooms and an extended wing, comprising an office with a spiral staircase leading to a bedroom. In all, the house has a generous 2,800 sq. ft of living space arranged on three floors. The wide, teak entrance gates lead into a courtyard paved in railway sleepers and with parking space for two cars. From here, glazed double doors open directly into a stunning 32 ft long living room cum dining room with a second set of doors on the opposite wall, leading to an enclosed garden. The living room has a varnished maple floor and a fireplace. More folding doors lead into a spacious sun room with exposed brickwork and timber beams.

A curved wall opens into the kitchen, which has sleek teal blue units and open shelving set against a wall clad in stainless steel.

French doors open on to a small front garden. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, and one with an en suite lavatory. All three rooms share a very large bathroom with power shower, corner bath and a handsome range of fitted cupboards built around twin wash-hand basins.
