A six-bedroom late Victorian redbrick in Dartry, Dublin 6 is guiding £900,000 (€1.14m) prior to auction on May 16th by agents Hamilton Osborne King. Homestead, 5 Dartry Road is a 3,000 sq ft semidetached family-sized house, set well back from passing traffic. The current owners have been here since 1967. There is an interesting historic connection. Eamonn Ceannt, one of the signatories of the 1916 Proclamation, may have lived here. A letter written to his wife Aine three days before his execution mentions the house. The main hall reaches back to an inner hallway, with a family sittingroom and kitchen area opening on to the back garden.

Off the main hall are two reception rooms connected by folding doors. Both rooms have period marble fireplaces. The kitchen to the back of the house is a comfortable room, with oak units and space for a table and a sofa. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor return. Another double room to the rear has a marble fireplace. The family bathroom at this level was converted from a single bedroom.

The two attic bedrooms are both doubles.

The front lawn is 75 ft long, with a driveway and plenty of parking; at the back is a walled 65 ft long garden.
