KNIGHT Frank is asking €1.495 million for a modern detached four-bedroom house on an acre of garden in Rathmichael, Co Dublin. Located in a cul-de-sac off Ferndale Road, number 4 Rathmichael Haven was built in the late 1990s to an exceptionally high spec and and has been regularly redecorated since. Floor-to-ceiling sash windows in most rooms make it an exceptionally bright house.

It’s vaguely Regency in design, with a wide porticoed entrance that leads, through a double front door, to a wide entrance hallway with with equally grand reception rooms on either side.

These large rooms take up a good deal of space in the overall 247sq m (2,658sq ft) of ground floor living space.

There is also a spacious family room and a small study. The kitchen is another sizeable room with French doors leading to the garden.

There’s an additional 96sq m (1,038sq ft) of loft space, which is currently one very large room with timber floor and Velux windows. An detached garage has parking for five cars.
