Two prominent period houses mainly in office use at 1 and 2 Marine Terrace in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, as well as an apartment at the rear are to be sold separately through agents McNally Handy. Both houses look directly out to sea.

Ivor Ashe of the agency is seeking €1.15 million for No 1 and €1 million for Number 2 which come with planning permission to convert them back into five-bedroom houses. The No 1 end-of-terrace house has office use on the ground floor as well as at first and second floor levels extending to 200sq m (2,152sq ft). The garden level is fitted out as an apartment.

All floors in No 2 are in office use, extending to 246sq m (2,647sq ft).

Both houses retain many of their period features including ornate cornicing, period fireplaces and light fans over the front doors.

The well-proportioned accommodation features light-filled floor-to-ceiling space of around 11ft.

The planning permission will allow considerable internal alterations including the removal of a modern window, toilets, kitchens and bathrooms

McNally Handy are quoting €550,000 for the separate two-bedroom apartment at Park Lane with ground floor offices.
