Lisney is quoting a guideline price of £800,000 for a substantial period house, Fairfield House, at Fairfield Park, Rathgar, Dublin 6, which goes to auction on June 10th. The double fronted building has been used as a private college in recent years and has 3,830 sq ft of floor space. It has a tree-lined front garden and a large rear garden. The agents say the new owner may continue to use it as a training college or converted it for use as a creche, guesthouse or surgery. Fairfield was the home for many years of the former Government minister, Ernest Blythe, who is best remembered for cutting the old age pension by one shilling in 1931.
