In Clontarf, a five-bedroom detached dormer bungalow at 56 Vernon Avenue, Dublin 3, is due to be auctioned by Gunne on October 28th. It carries a guide price of £340,000-plus. Located between Kincora Road and Seafield Road, the 1,700 sq ft double-fronted property comes to the market in good decorative order. The sitting-room is dominated by a floor-to-ceiling solid oak carved fireplace and there are French doors opening out to the garden.

Both the dining-room and family room have fireplaces and the recently fitted kitchen has a picture window overlooking the rear garden. A utility room, sun lounge, two bedrooms, separate bathroom and lavatory complete the downstairs accommodation. There are three further bedrooms upstairs. A cobble-lock driveway to the front allows for generous off-street parking and a side entrance leads to a 60 ft long rear garden.
