Dalkey/€3.5m: Laragh, a four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house on Ardeevin Rd in Dalkey, carries an AMV of €3.5 million prior to auction through Colliers Jackson Stops on September 27th.

The four-bedroom house commands views of Dublin Bay from the first floor and has a traditional Victorian layout with big comfortable reception rooms opening into each other off a large hall, while the kitchen and utility areas are at the back of the house.

This whole area has been stripped back to the original stone and brick work with the floor tiles put back after damp proofing. A Stanley range for cooking and central heating is surrounded by plenty of dark green wooden storage cupboards, while a larder, utility, and sunroom open off it. Low sash windows with window seats are one of several attractive features of this space.

Many of the original period features are intact including elaborate cornices in all the main rooms, wooden floors, original tiles in hall and kitchen, working shutters and original fireplaces in the bedrooms.

Period-style carved wood and polished limestone fireplaces in the reception rooms are not original to the house.

Three bedrooms are on the first floor with a further bedroom and bathroom on the second floor return. The main bedroom is very large with two beautiful arched windows looking out towards the sea, polished wooden floor and a large en suite bathroom with windows to the front and side of the house.

The return is positioned to the side of the house which allows light from the original landing widow to flood the upstairs. The first floor return is presently an attractive study/sittingroom with a fireplace and dual aspect windows.

The pretty old fashioned main garden is to the front with access from the road through a wooden door. A driveway opens from the side and has room for several cars to park in front of the house. To the back is an enclosed sunny courtyard garden. Dalkey village and the Dart station is a few minutes walk away.
