Foxrock: €1.45m: A five-bedroom detached house with sheltered south-facing garden and attractive position near the corner of Kilteragh Road in Foxrock, Dublin 18, has an advised minimum value (AMV) of €1.45million at auction on March 28th through Daphne L Kaye.

This would make an ideal family home as it is in a quiet road with Cornelscourt shopping centre within easy access on one side and Foxrock village on the other.

Number 62, built in 1968, is roomy and well laid out with around 157 sq m (1,700sq ft) of floor area. A mainly white, double- fronted façade with timber windows and leaded diamond panes, opens into a good sized bright hall with polished wooden floor. To the left, through double doors, is a long family room with bay window, fitted shelves and polished floor. The sittingroom on the right has a fireplace and three-quarter chimneybreast wall. Behind this is a dining room with double doors to the back garden and a door through to the kitchen. Both rooms are very bright and cosy with polished floors and wall lighting.

The fitted kitchen to the back of the house has windows and a door to the garden taking up one wall, making the most of an already bright and spacious room.

The staircase is at right angles to the hall and goes up to a spacious landing with three bedrooms off a short corridor to the right and two bedrooms and a family bathroom to the left. All bedrooms are well-sized and a distant view of Dublin bay can be seen from the main one.

There is potential to convert a large attic and space enough on the landing to put in stairs, with a little jiggling of hot press and storage cupboard. A downstairs cloakroom completes the accommodation.

Gardens front and back are sheltered by mature trees and there are gated entrances to the back garden on both sides of the house. The gravelled front has plenty of parking space and is protected by high hedging. The pretty, long back garden is equally private with a lawn surrounded by high trees and mature shrubs. This gets sunshine all day long.
