A detached bungalow with sea views in a much sought after location on the Clontarf Road is scheduled for auction through Sherry FitzGerald on May 9th with a guide price of £500,000 (€634,869).

Its seafront location is bound to stir up interest in 152 Clontarf Road, a spacious five-bedroom dormer bungalow. Large windows in the two reception rooms set to the front of the house take full advantage of the view, while the back garden is surrounded by mature trees for privacy.

Access to the house is from the main road but the house itself is set back far enough not to be disturbed by traffic. A paved driveway provides off-street parking for three or four cars while there is an additional drive-through garage to the side.

To the front of the house are two well-proportioned reception rooms, both with fireplaces and high ceilings. The windows are a strong feature of both rooms and the lounge has a high bay window. Off the central hallway a breakfastroom leads into a large kitchen. The kitchen is an extension built many years ago; it leads out to the back garden where mature trees and shrubs sit alongside a large patio area. Downstairs there are three bedrooms. The main bedroom lies to the front of the house. A further double and a single room are to the back overlooking the garden. The main bathroom and separate toilet are also on this level.

Upstairs, there are two attic bedrooms under pitched ceilings, creating a cosy atmosphere. The front bedroom faces directly on to the seafront. The attic also has plenty of storage space. A third room with a Velux window is currently used as storage.

While more than spacious for a typical family, this property has great potential to be further extended. The present owners have lived here for many years, and new owners may want to modernise the interior.
