Donnybrook/€1.5m: Nutley Road in Donnybrook is lined with large family houses with good back gardens.

Number 7 is for auction through Sherry FitzGerald on March 10th with a guide of €1.5 million. Previous owners put a bedroom in the attic and the present owners extended at the back to add an open-plan family room and eat-in kitchen.

There are three reception rooms and five bedrooms over 246 sq m (2,650 sq ft) with a side garage.

The three reception rooms are all large. Two - the diningroom and more formal livingroom - interconnect. The most used area of the house is where the original kitchen has been extended into a large family room with doors opening out onto a patio. Off it is access to the garage area and utility room.

Upstairs off the spacious landing there are four double bedrooms plus onein the attic. The back garden is walled and not overlooked.
