A huge modern house on Westminster Road in Foxrock, a Ranelagh redbrick and one off North Circular Road are all on view this weekend

Hazelmere, Westminster Road, Foxrock, D18, €2.95million, Lisney

The sale of Hazelmere, a huge house on Westminster Road in Foxrock, brings to a close a long-running saga that began years ago when developer David Arnold’s Grasmere Partnership sought to redevelop Grasmere, a 19th century house, and build two more on its 1.4 acres. Arnold is now in Nama.

Hazelmere, a 650sq m (7,000sq ft) six-bedroom house, is one of these. It has all the bells and whistles of a Tiger-era house – and indeed it is three years old, but has been let until now.
