Ranelagh: €815,000: Built over 140 years ago, number 10 Chelmsford Road in Ranelagh, Dublin 6, comes to the market in immaculate condition and with many of its period features intact.

It is being auctioned on May 13th with Gunne Residential quoting a guide of €815,000.

Close to all the facilities of Ranelagh village, the 182 sq m (1,960 sq ft) four-bedroom house has the huge advantage of off-street parking for two cars.

The current owners have completely renovated, re-roofed, and rewired the house and have weather-proofed the sash windows.

Off the elegant hallway with its Victorian archway, cornicing and centre rose, is a guest toilet and hot press.

A utility room has been plumbed for a washing machine and vented for a dryer.

The drawingroom is painted in soothing natural tones and has a high ceiling, a large sash window, cast-iron fireplace and ebony stained floorboards.

The diningroom is also an oasis of minimalist calm with a cast-iron fireplace and high double glass panelled doors to the family room.

The family room is in the extended area of the house and is a lovely bright room with two Velux windows, timber panelling to dado height and double glass French doors out to the garden.

Off this is a large bright modern kitchen with recessed spotlights, an impressive array of solid oak units and a stainless steel drawer unit. It has an integrated double eye level electric oven, an extractor fan, a chrome American-style fridge freezer and dishwasher, and travertine tiled floor.

Upstairs on the first floor return is a luxurious bathroom tiled in travertine marble, with a ceramic bowl on a wooden plinth, a bath with a mixer power shower attachment, step-in power shower and a heated towel rail and underfloor heating.

One of the bedrooms is also at this level with the rest on the upper landing. The main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and en suite shower room.

The house has a railed front garden with mature hedging, a very private granite-walled rear garden set in terraces, with shrubs and two patio areas, one in salvaged brick and the other in terracotta.
