CO WICKLOW: €2.5M:CORRELLA, a large fin de siècle house in The Old Burnaby, Greystones, Co Wicklow, has the feel of other times about it. It has rooms of every kind and size, from solidly comfortable bay-windowed spaces in the main part of the house, to nookish surprises in a half-return to the side.

The bright bedrooms have views over tree tops to the distant sea. There are corridors, stairs wide and narrow, and original, small-paned windows everywhere you look.

But the feature that gives Corrella individuality is the galleried landing and stairs. Framed by shining, dark wood bannisters, this is lit both by a skylight and, to the front, a large window overlooking the garden on the landing return.

Built between 1898 and 1900, Corrella is a family home and hasn’t been on the market for 35 years. Houses like it in leafy Burnaby, where trees and high hedges guard atmospheric period homes on large sites, sold for around €5m at the height of the Celtic Tiger.

Now it is being sold by private treaty by Lennox Estates and is expected to sell for €2.5 million-plus.

Detached and two-storeyed, Corrella is surrounded by a 1.25-acre garden with trees, hedges and other plants. It has six bedrooms, four reception rooms, kitchen/breakfastroom, study and several small, ancillary rooms used as a pantry and for storage and utility purposes. An integrated garage to the side has an overhead snooker/billiard room with a workshop nearby. The main house has 332sq m (3,574sq ft) of floor space, the inclusion of the workshop/garage area brings the total to 420sq m (4,521sq ft).

The kitchen/breakfastroom has original quarry tiles, fitted units and an Aga.There is a grass tennis court and, to the side of the house, a conservatory that has fallen into disuse.
