You don’t expect to find a brand new house a short walk from Silchester Road in Glenageary, Co Dublin, but a four-bed on a site at the bottom of one of the large gardens on Silchester is a new build with an energy-efficient A rating and a very smart fit-out.
Number 11 Silchester Crescent, a 188sq m (2,031sq ft) semi-detached house is for sale by private treaty through Blackrock agent McMahon O’Connor for €1.25 million.
Silchester Crescent is, contrary to its name, a cul-de-sac between Silchester Road and Silchester Park, beside Glenageary Tennis Club. It’s not hard to spot, with its striking white exterior and zinc and timber roof.

Inside, it’s mostly all white walls, smoked oak or tiled floors and glazed floor-to-ceiling windows and doors at the back of the house. On the left of the large entrance hall is the livingroom, which runs from the front to the back of the house.
Open plan
It has a neat modern wood-burning stove and double doors opening onto the back garden. There’s a smaller, cosy familyroom on the right of the front hall and a Travertine-tiled guest toilet.
The completely open-plan kitchen/diningroom has all the features you would expect: a polished white marble-topped island unit with convection hob inset, Neff appliances, big American-style fridge/freezer, a ceramic tiled floor and a utility room. The dining area opens through glazed sliding doors onto a patio.
Up the glazed staircase, there are four double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom, which overlooks Glenageary Tennis Club’s courts, has a fully tiled en suite with a walk-in shower.
Big patio
Outside, there’s a big patio and a wide lawn; tall trees in the garden of the Silchester Road house provide privacy. An oak electronic gate at the front opens into a gravelled drive with space to park two cars.
Number 11 is fitted out showhouse style by House & Garden Furnishing in Sandyford, and buyers can negotiate to purchase the fittings.
The other half of the semi-detached is currently being rented by builder Bryan Molloy as a corporate let for €5,000 a month.
