Address: 5 Somerton, Dún Laoghaire, Co Dublin
Agent: Sherry FitzGerald Dún Laoghaire
Situated in a quiet, safe cul-de-sac, this four-bedroom 99sq m (1,065 sq ft) semi-detached house with off-street parking and side access has room to extend in the rear garden, as neighbours have done, subject to planning permission. Though it has a new enough kitchen, parts of the house, which has a Ber of D1, could do with upgrading.
Plus: Great location and southeast garden aspect
Minus: Building costs are high
