Dublin 6/€7.7m: Subiaco, 1 Temple Gardens, Dublin 6, is a semi-detached six-bedroom home on the Palmerston Road end of Temple Gardens.

Houses on Temple Gardens don't come on the market often and they certainly don't come cheap.

Sherry FitzGerald expects to make around €7.7 million for Subiaco, when it goes for auction on October 18th.

Although Subiaco is one of the few semi-detached houses on the road, it is still a substantial family home with 320sq m (3,450sq ft) of living space.

The same family has lived here for 40 years and maintained the house without compromising its 19th century features.

It's likely that new owners will opt for a makeover.

Accommodation is laid out over two floors with a three-storey return.

Two fine reception rooms with beautiful Victorian details are to the front of the house.

An L-shaped inner hall leads to the large eat-in kitchen, a garden room with four picture windows and a cosy family room also overlooking the back garden.

Six bedrooms, all double and one en suite, and a family bathroom are on the first and second floors.

Large gardens wrap around the house and there is a very large double garage, giving scope for expansion if required.

A large front garden, measuring almost 60ft, has mature trees and off-street parking. The rear garden is set out in lawn with a large patio, rose bushes and a variety of mature trees, shrubs and planting.
