A round-up of properties new to the market
Price cut at the foot of Bray Head
OLD BRAY Lodge in Bray, Co Wicklow, is an interesting property investment that has had its price cut from €750,000 to €675,000. For sale through Dooley Auctioneers, the seafront house at the foot of Bray Head has great views from Killiney Bay right across to Howth Head and the Irish Sea beyond. It also comes with two one-bedroom apartments, one at either end of the four-bedroom house. Accommodation in the main house includes two reception rooms and a good-sized kitchen, all of which face the sea.
The house was built around the original gate-lodge to Lord Meath’s estate, and some of its original features remain, including two lookout points, where once guns facing out to sea would have been mounted. The property stands on approximately three-quarters of an acre with two large elevated decks to the rear of the house.
Dalkey semi for €795,000
LISNEY is asking €795,000 for a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Dalkey that comes with a 90ft back garden. Number 12 Saval Park Gardens is in a cul-de-sac off Saval Park Road, which is a short walk from Dalkey village in one direction and Killiney Hill in the other. The cul-de-sac is at the lower end of the road, with pedestrian access out to Barnhill Road and the local shop.
It’s a well maintained house that could now do with updating, say the agents, and there is plenty of scope to extend the living space of approximately 142sq m (1,535sq ft). New owners will probably want to extend the kitchen which currently does not have direct access the garden. There are two interconnecting reception rooms leading off the hall, while the first of the bedrooms is also downstairs. Upstairs, four bedrooms, two of them large doubles, share a family bathroom.
