Gunne Residential is quoting a guide price of £500,000 (635,000) for a handsome Victorian terraced house at Adelaide Street, D·n Laoghaire. It goes to auction on October 23rd.

The early Victorian house is currently laid out as a two-bedroom house on the two upper floors with a self-contained two-bedroom flat on the ground floor.

Houses on this street have an unusual zoning - part residential and part commercial - and number 10 might suit a buyer who intends to run a business from home. It's a short walk from the centre of D·n Laoghaire and the seafront with its new cafΘs and walkways.

This is a classic Victorian townhouse with granite steps leading up to the front door. Inside, the house has been refurbished over the last four years with floors stripped and polished throughout, and a new kitchen and bathroom installed.

To the left of the high ceilinged hallway are elegant, almost square interconnecting rooms and an impressive entrance hall. It has a standard layout with the drawingroom to the front and diningroom to the rear. Both rooms have open fireplaces with original surrounds. The kitchen is a good-sized room in the return with access to the back garden. It has smart beech fitted units, and a breakfast counter as well as room for a small table and chairs.

Originally there were three bedrooms upstairs but the owners turned the first of these, on the return, into a really spacious bathroom. It has a free-standing bath and a black and white chequered floor.

An alcove off the landing ends in an attractive arched window with coloured glass panels.

On the top floor the main bedrooms runs the full width of the house and has a fine marble chimneypiece. The second bedroom is a comfortable double with a view of the back garden.

The ground floor flat has a big livingroom-cum-kitchen with an original flagged floor and a gas-fired stove. The two bedrooms share a shower room.

The back garden is small but has a sunny orientation. There is a garage and workshop with access to a rear lane.
