Monkstown: €2.75m
A large period house in Monkstown that has been given a thorough makeover since it last came on the market in 2005, is for sale by private treaty through Savills HOK at €2.75 million.

The two-storey over garden level house is at 5 Brighton Avenue, a road leading up from the sea and connecting to Monkstown Road. Laid out as a four-bedroom house with a two-bedroom flat on the ground floor, the house will appeal to families who want to accommodate staff, teenagers or a tenant or two.

One of the most interesting features of this Victorian house is its entrance, with it steps leading up to a front door set to one side. It opens into a dramatic 20ft hallway with an original flagged floor, attractive arched windows and wide sandstone steps leading tup to an inner hallway.

There are two fine interconnecting reception rooms - a drawingroom and diningroom, both with stained and polished original floorboards and ornate cornice work.

Both rooms also have tall sash windows making them exceptionally bright. The kitchen is in the return and it is newly fitted with good storage and all appliances included.

A back door opens to a flight of steps leading down to the walled back garden which has been landscaped in a mimimalist style.

At garden level there is a large sittingroom at the front of the house and a galley-style kitchen that again is fully fitted and includes appliances. Two double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom complete the layout at this level. The first floor has a big square landing with an arched window looking towards the sea. Four double bedrooms lead off it, and all of these share a well fitted bathroom on the lower return.
