THE REEFS, a large dormer bungalow on two acres of land fronting onto the sea near Skerries, north county Dublin, has come on the market through Knight Frank asking €850,000.
The property overlooks Skerries harbour and also has views towards the Cooley and Mourne mountains.
Built by its owners 40 years ago, The Reefs is a large scale home with no fewer than nine bedrooms in a total of 312sq m (3,355sq ft). It’s presented in very good order throughout but the interior could now do with some updating, according to the agents.
Located a mile from the village, the house is a short distance from the new Educate Together school, and from Skerries Point shopping centre.
The house sits down close to the water, with a large part of the land at the back of the house offering plenty of scope to create a large scale garden, or install a tennis court. Outbuildings include some dog kennels and and an old barn.
The property has been priced well under a million euro to appeal to the busiest sector of the market, where buyers typically have sold their home, have been renting for some time, and have a firm commitment from the bank for finance.
These buyers generally have up to a million, but no more, to spend on their new home, stamp duty and necessary refurbishments.
