Dublin 6: €2.3m Families looking for a large period redbrick in a convenient location will be drawn to 39 Bushy Park Road in Rathgar, Dublin 6, particularly as it requires no work.

The Edwardian six-bed semi with 344 sq m (3,700 sq ft) of living space is scheduled for auction on February 24th through Douglas Newman Good, which is guiding €2.3 million.

The front door, surrounded by original stained glass, opens into a long, wide hall which conveys the scale of the house and the comfortable, well-loved feel. To the left is a drawingroom with a generous bay window, ceiling rose and a marble fireplace with a gas fire. The family room, to the right, has a square bay window, marble fireplace and original polished floorboards.

Also off the hall, to the rear of the house, is a large livingroom with an open fireplace. This leads, through French doors, to a bright sunroom. More French doors lead out to the garden.

The livingroom also opens into the bright, extended kitchen / diningroom. This has a tiled floor and a very glassy roof, and the farmhouse-style kitchen includes cream-painted units, a marble-topped island and a gas stove in a brick surround beside the dining table. Beside this, a door leads back out to the hall, with a computer desk built-in under the stairs and a good-sized utility room and downstairs toilet at the kitchen side.

Upstairs, the six bedrooms all have fitted wardrobes. The converted attic bedroom, which is en suite, is a great getaway for a teenager and two dormer windows look out over the mountains. Two guest bedrooms occupy the returns, and on the first floor are the family bathroom and two bedrooms, one with an exquisite art deco fireplace.

The main bedroom, with en suite shower room, is also on this level, at the front, and the bay window ensures it is full of light.

The back garden faces south and has been well tended, with a big patio near the house and a shady deck beside the garage at the end.
