KILLINEY: A four-bedroom 1,530 sq ft detached bungalow in a quiet cul-de-sac off Rochestown Avenue is expected to fetch around £420,000 at a Sherry FitzGerald auction on February 21st.
Hidden behind stone walls, and set back from the road, the house is in very good decorative order and should appeal to couples looking to trade down.
The cul-de-sac, positioned almost directly opposite Killiney Shopping Centre, is one of several quiet enclaves off this busy road. There are just three similar bungalows, each screened by attractive landscaping which has matured well since the houses were built about seven years ago. Groves of birch trees and planted banks form natural boundaries between the three houses and the communal driveway is cobble-locked.
Borrmount has pale yellow exterior walls, pretty decorative roof tiles and a broad gravelled driveway. Inside, there is a bright maple floored hallway with the main reception rooms leading off in three directions. Colours throughout the house are understated and easy on the eye. Radiators have attractive covers and the interior finish is to an extremely high standard.
The bay-windowed sitting room has cream walls and an open fireplace with a timber surround. Doors open through to the diningroom, which has French doors to the back garden. At the end of the hallway, the kitchen/ breakfastroom is floored in wood-effect linoleum, with pale lemon walls and simple white units. The table fits into a bay window looking out on the back garden and there is a door to the dining room and a utility room from here. A cosy family room off the diningroom could also be used as a study or office.
The bedroom wing is on the other side of the hall. Two single and two double rooms are nicely decorated with pastel-striped wallpaper and neutral floor coverings. The main bedroom has an attractive bay window, fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower. The family bathroom is white, with antique-style brass fittings.
Outside, a 110 ft by 35 ft rear garden is enclosed by lattice fencing and beech boundary hedges. The garden is mostly in lawn and has a patio, herbaceous borders with concealed lighting and a garden shed.
