A two-storey over garden level Victorian house in Blackrock, Co Dublin, is for sale through Finnegan Menton at a guide price of £675,000 (€857,000).
One of a long and elegant row of terraced houses built in the early 1860s, 14 Prince Edward Terrace, off Carysfort Avenue, and has a 110 ft long rear garden.
There are four bedrooms, two reception rooms and, at garden level, an open-plan living area of some 800 sq ft.
The house is large with a living space of 2,700 sq ft. It goes to auction on 23rd May.
The high-ceilinged reception rooms have the original double folding doors and lots of light from the windows at the front and back. The windows are also original and have working shutters.
Here, and in the hallway, there is heavily ornate plasterwork.
The drawingroom, which is to the front, has a marble surround fireplace with a cast-iron and tiled inset. A similar fireplace in the diningroom has a particularly attractive daisy motif on the inset tile and built-in shelving to either side.
The cornice work and feature arch in the entrance hallway benefits from the light thrown from the gold-coloured glass in the fanlight over the front door.
A guest bedroom on the first floor return has a very wide window and a washhand basin. The other three bedrooms are off the top main landing. The two bigger ones have dual access to a bathroom. The fourth bedroom is on the second floor return and has a wash-hand basin.
At garden level, everyday living space takes in a kitchen as well as a breakfastroom, family room, utility room and bathrooms.
The kitchen has a terracotta-tiled floor and a centre wooden island, as well as pine fittings and an oil-fired Aga cooker with tile surround. There is understairs storage for logs as well as a family bathroom. The family/ livingroom area has an open fireplace with brass surround.
GLASS doors lead from here up steps to the rear garden. East facing, this has a genuine Victorian feel with a stepping-stone style pathway winding through it and a wealth of rambling climbers as well as fruit trees, bushes and flowering shrubs to either side. The front garden is lawned.
