This detached, split-level bungalow sits in a secluded spot on Windgate Road at Baily in Howth.

The 1960s home, on nearly an acre, is on the market through Savills. It offers buyers prepared to pay the €1.5 million asking price a blank canvas to upgrade the property, which is in need of modernising.

Inside, the four-bedroom house is bright and there are coastal views from the principal reception rooms and the main bedroom.

The main bedroom also has sliding glass doors to a large balcony and seating area.

Downstairs there is also a generous double bedroom adjoining an office space, which could work as a den or playroom.
