Dublin 6 /£1.5 million-plus

Two interconnecting houses at 28 and 29 Leinster Road, Dublin 6, are expected to make in excess of £1

Two interconnecting houses at 28 and 29 Leinster Road, Dublin 6, are expected to make in excess of £1.5 million when they are auctioned by Lisney on Wednesday of next week. The three-storey over garden level houses are particularly spacious with 7,820 sq. ft of space which has been restored in recent years. A business college has occupied the garden, ground and first floor levels. The top floor has a penthouse with uninterrupted views over the city from one side and of the Dublin mountains from the other. There is planning permission for three town houses in the back garden. A lane-way to the side of Number 29 provides access into the rear garden where there are car-parking facilities. The new owners will have the option of seeking planning permission to use three of the floors for offices. The purchaser of another house at 44 Leinster Road, also used as a private college, has just got permission to convert it for office use.
