Douglas Newman Good has set an AMV of €2.4 million on 30 Mountpleasant Square, Ranelagh, prior to auction on March 8th.

It was bought 18 months ago by a young couple who have transformed the three-storey over basement terraced house into a fine family home. Mount Pleasant Square is a convenient place to live but this house also has characteristics many of its neighbour's lack.

For a start, there's the west-facing 70ft garden to the rear and rear vehicular access to Richmond Hill. There is planning permission to allow for off-street parking here.

The ground floor has a long entrance hall and interconnecting reception rooms. The proportions are generous and elegant.

The renovations undertaken were overseen by a conservation specialist. So new windows match the originals, as do stained glass panels on internal doors.

On the return, as one goes down towards the garden level, is a large guest bathroom. There is also a large bathroom at each of the upper levels.

The rooms at garden level are decorated in a tasteful way with kitchen to the front and living and dining area towards the back. There's also a separate utility room at this level. Concertina doors open to the garden.

On the first floor are a large double bedroom to the rear and an enormous main bedroom to the front. All the usual period features are in place.

The top floor has two more large bedrooms and a full bathroom occupies one room to the front.
