Seafield is a fine leafy established estate located off the N11 closer to Stillorgan than Booterstown. But it feels far more removed from that busy thoroughfare. Once inside you scarcely hear the hum of the traffic. Seafield Drive is a cul-de-sac of just five houses.
Many of the houses in the estate have been extended and modernised.
Number one is one such property. Built as a three-bedroom semi with a garage it has been extensively remodelled. The owners bought the property in the mid-1990s and added a two-storey extension turning the garage into a a pair of interconnecting rooms, a fine sittingroom with plantation shutters and nice bookshelves to the front and a large eat-in kitchen to the rear. The dual aspect, L-shaped room includes painted units, granite worktops and an impressive four-ring Rosieres cooker. French windows lead out to a sandstone patio, complete with awning, added to the south-facing side of the house.

They’ve made use of every bit of outside space, creating a garden that wraps around the house leaving the northeast-facing back garden as a large play area for children.
The original reception rooms have become a formal sittingroom and diningroom and have matching cast-iron fireplaces.
The stairs split at the top with the original three bedrooms to the left. Two of these are good size doubles. The third is a box room.
The family bathroom is also on this side of the house. There are two more bedrooms in the newer extension.
One of these is the master, which has a large shower en suite with a coloured glass feature window.
The property, which measures 186sq m (2,000sq ft), is asking €895,000 through SherryFitzGerald.
To the front of the house there is lawn on both sides of the drive and off-street parking for two cars as well as further-on street parking.
