Malahide: €925,000: With corner houses now keenly sought-after by housebuilders as well as househunters, a detached four-bedroom house that's just come on the market in Malahide, Co Dublin is sure to attract a good deal of attention.
For sale through Sherry Fitz-Gerald Blanc at €925,000, number 1 Chalfont Road occupies a nice corner site and has a wide side entrance leading to a sheltered and sunny back garden.
New owners could add a substantial extension to the house which currently has 158sq m (1,700sq ft) of living space. There could also be potential to build an additional house, subject to the necessary planning permission. The location, just off Texas Lane, about 100 yards from the Broadmeadow Estuary, is a major selling point in an area where family homes are extremely hard to come by.
Typical of its era, the house has a traditional layout with a large livingroom running from front-to-back of the house. On the other side of the hall is a smaller sittingroom or study, while at the back of the house is the eat-in kitchen which has recently been refitted with attractive Shaker-style units.
Upstairs, the four bedrooms lead off a spacious landing, and two of these rooms have terrific views over the estuary. Three of the bedrooms are doubles and they share a family bathroom. A large attic offers scope for conversion subject to planning permission.
