AuctionProperty: You could say that 6 Carrickmines Garth is a millennium house. Built in 2000, it's in a nicely landscaped cul-de-sac which is part of the Carrickmines Wood enclave of some 70 homes built by Park Development in Carrickmines, Co Dublin in and around that year.

Off the Brennanstown Road and not far from Foxrock village, it's also close to where those leafy suburbs edge onto the M50 and, alternatively, the foothills of the Dublin mountains.

Detached, number 6 has five bedrooms (two en suite), three reception rooms and a spacious kitchen/breakfastroom laid out in traditional fashion over 217sq m (2,340sq ft) of light-filled space. The large, south-easterly facing rear garden is pleasant to be in and look at. The house has an AMV of €2.6 million prior to auction through Sherry FitzGerald on October 12th.

The L-shaped Siematic fitted kitchen/breakfastroom overlooks the rear garden and has polished granite worktops, Travertine flooring and a central island.

Double glass doors lead to the garden where the choices for a linger are between a decking area, lawn, glasshouse, children's play area, patio or the clothes drying corner.

The diningroom, from where French doors open onto the decking area, has a Junkers floor. The drawingroom, which has a wood-surround fireplace and is separated from the diningroom by frosted glass double doors, also has a Junkers floor, as has a family room to the front of the house with a large window.

An oak staircase climbs from the squarish, good-sized hallway to a landing where a large window mirrors a similar one on the ground floor below. The main, en suite and front-facing bedroom has a bank of built-in wardrobes and a small balcony outside the front-facing French window. Three of the other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and one is en suite. The family bathroom has a tunnel Velux and is tiled in a beige colour. The landscaped and gravelled front garden has parking space for two/three cars.
