Dún Laoghaire/€990,000: Sherry FitzGerald expects bids over €990,000 for a detached villa-style house at Corrig Avenue in Dún Laoghaire that goes to auction on September 23rd.
Rosemount, which dates from the 1870s, was originally built in the grounds of Corrig House, then part of Lord Longford and Lord de Vesci's estate. These days it's a comfortable family home in a very convenient location, close to the centre of Dún Laoghaire and to the DART.
An impressive entrance hall has the drawingroom on one side and a bedroom on the other. Both are bright well-proportioned rooms with original marble fireplaces. There is a second bedroom and a bathroom at this level. Steps lead down, past a tall sash window, to the ground level where there are two further bedrooms, a breakfastroom and the well-fitted kitchen leading off a wide hallway with its original quarry tiles. There is also a shower room while a guest cloakroom leads off the upper landing. Off-street parking and a sizeable garden complete the package.
