Dublin 13: A detached house in Sutton with stunning sea views and a very large garden has a guide of €950,000, writes Orna Mulcahy

Lisney is seeking offers over €950,000 for a detached five-bedroom seafront house at 70 Dublin Road in Sutton, Dublin 13.

The period house, which goes to auction on October 15th, stands on just over half an acre, with some potential for redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permission, according to sales agent Darren Chambers.

While the gardens are a real feature of the property, they are laid out in such a way that would allow for the building of a second house.

The back garden is in two sections, with a courtyard and patio with further entrance gates leading to a lawned area beyond.

Located just minutes from Sutton village centre, number 70 is a substantial family home with 263 sq m (2,829 sq ft) of living space and several useful outbuildings.

The ground floor accommodation includes four reception rooms leading off an elegant hallway. There is a formal diningroom, a drawingroom, and a livingroom, all with period fireplaces. The fourth room is a family room with a maple floor and recessed lighting.

The 22ft kitchen has a good range of maple fittings set around a big range style cooker.

Upstairs, all five bedrooms are comfortable doubles, with the main bedroom and a second large bedroom overlooking the sea. The bedrooms share a spacious family bathroom.

The long front garden includes plenty of off-street parking, not to mention a stunning south-facing view of the sea.
