This three-storey house at 30 Leeson Park, on the corner of Northbrook Road, is occupied by the engineering and plastics company, Barlo Group plc, which is moving to the Sweepstakes office complex. The house is likely to be bought as a family home, according to selling agent Tom Day of Lisney, who is guiding £1.5 million prior to auction on February 23rd.

He says it is the "closest detached house to St Stephen's Green". It is a substantial house with side access from Northbrook Road, a large mews to the rear. It will need extensive refurbishment to become a family home, new offices, or a combination of both. It has around 3,700 sq. ft and plenty of period features, including ornate cornices in the hall level reception rooms and an attractive staircase.

Granite steps lead up to the front door and inside, the hall has a high ceiling and archway leading to the inner hall. There are three reception rooms at hall level and one of these, to the front, has particularly fine cornicing. Upstairs, there is potential for four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The ground floor could accommodate a large kitchen and utility room, as well as a playroom or sittingroom.
