A large open-plan kitchen/dining room/living room is the heart of a 1940s house in Dalkey that was extended and given a full Celtic Tigerish-makeover in 2006.
There are glossy burgundy-coloured units in the kitchen, oak floors and doors throughout, double-glazed hardwood windows, a walk-in dressing room in the main bedroom and tiled bathrooms in the house on the corner of Hyde Park and Hyde Road. It is a short walk from here to the Cuala GAA grounds on Hyde Road and the village of Dalkey.
Number 8 Hyde Park, a 271sq m (2,917sq ft) semi-detached five-bed with a C1 BER rating is now for sale through DNG for €1.35 million.

The redesign was done on simple, clean lines. The front door opens into a hall floored with glossy cream tiles: this opens on the right into the living room at the front of the house, which opens through wide sliding doors into the kitchen/dining room at the back.
The dining room and adjacent seating area with a raised gas fire inset into the wall are oak-floored. The kitchen, with a large island unit with an induction hob inset, is floored with tiles, and there’s a utility room off the kitchen. A wall of glazed doors open on to the patio in the back garden.
The tiled front hall continues around to the part of the house that was extended at the side. Here, there’s a home office/study, a good-sized family room and a smart grey-tiled bathroom/wetroom.
Oak stairs lead up to a bright landing with two Velux windows over it. Five bedrooms, two of them en-suite, and a large, smart family bathroom open off it.
The main bedroom has a tiled en-suite shower room and the walk-in dressing room; another double bedroom has a small en-suite.
The fairly small garden at the back of the house is half patio, half astroturf lawn, fringed with shrubs and flowerbeds, and slightly triangular in shape. The house is right on the corner of two roads. There’s a large storage shed in the back garden.
The lawned front garden is larger and very private, behind tall hedges. There’s rooms to park two cars in the gravelled front space.
