Cabinteely: €1.25m: A modern five-bedroom house in a nicely maturing estate - Holmwood in Cabinteely, Dublin 18 - is quoting an advised minimum value (AMV) of €1.25 million prior to auction with Sherry FitzGerald on February 9th.

Number 6 is a spacious double-fronted house with a nice internal layout and a good-sized back garden - where the landscaping includes five granite steps from the James Joyce Centre in North Great George's Street. Ten years old now, the Castlethorn development is accessed through Lambourne Wood off Brennanstown Road. The imaginative layout of the small 73-house estate ensured the best use of green space, mature trees and privacy, while its proximity to schools, shops, Cabinteely Park, the N11 and transport make it ideal for family living.

A green park to the front of the sloping site has small cul-de-sacs peeling off it; most houses are in groups of no more than six and look out on greenery rather than other houses.

Number 6 is just off the green with its front windows getting the evening sun.

Attractively designed with different roof levels, box bay windows and a wide porch area, the 171sq m (1,845sq ft) house is entered through a glazed front door with wide side windows.

A limestone-floored hall leads to a family room to one side, and through double glazed doors to the sittingroom with bay window and wooden mantelpiece on the right.

A separate diningroom with French windows is accessed from the sittingroom and the kitchen. These three rooms are spacious with oak floors, lots of light and coved ceilings.

The kitchen is a fine bright room stretching over 20ft along the back of the house with plenty of room both for a big table and a large sofa.

A utility room off the kitchen has room for a washer and dryer, loads of cupboard space and a really huge hot press. An understairs cloakroom completes the downstairs.

The upstairs landing is a spacious square, with five bedrooms off it, two en suite and a family bathroom.

Both the main bedroom and one other are spacious doubles with en suite shower rooms, built-in wardrobes, while two more are doubles and the fifth, currently in use as a study, would be ideal as a baby's room.

All of the bedrooms have little features, such as dormer windows, angled doors or exceptionally deep cupboards into the eaves.

There is off-street parking for two cars to the front. The back garden is mostly in lawn.
