A four-BEDROOM house in a quiet cul-de-sac off Dartry Road in Dublin 6 is expected to fetch over £440,000 at a Sherry FitzGerald auction on October 6th. Built just 18 months ago by O'Malley Construction, number 10 Sunbury Park is part of a development of around 25 houses designed to blend with the nearby period houses of Sunbury Gardens. The three-storey house has two reception rooms, two bedrooms with en suite facilities and a very stylish kitchen. The total floor area is around 1,900 sq ft.
Sunbury Park is screened by tall trees and there are pleasant communal gardens to the front. A driveway with off-street parking leads to the front door which has leaded glass panels on either side. The livingroom, through double doors to the right, has a bay window, white marble fireplace and recessed lighting. Double doors with leaded glass panels separate it from the diningroom, where there is a wide window overlooking the patio-style garden.
Doors from both the diningroom and hallway lead to the 24 ft long kitchen/ breakfastroom. The sleek beech units were made by the Ranelagh firm Oakline, and they are topped in a granite effect surface. The hob, cooker and dishwasher, all of which will remain, are by Bosch. The breakfastroom, to the rear of the kitchen, has a large window on to the patio garden and a glass door to the patio. A utility room off the kitchen is plumbed and has a worktop.
Off the hall there is a guest lavatory with a small window and wash-hand basin and, under the stairs, a goodish storage area.
Three of the bedrooms and the family bathroom are on the first floor. The largest room is to the front of the house and it has a bay window, en suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe with its own window.
The other two bedrooms are to the rear. Both have fitted wardrobes and bright, cheerful colour schemes - one is a lime green, the other a primrose yellow. The family bathroom has a good-sized bath with shower attached, wash-hand basin and marble-effect tiles. There is no window.
The main bedroom, with its en suite shower room and walk-in dressingroom, takes up the entire second floor. Good use has been made of its top-[of-house position and it has been given sloping, cottagestyle ceilings, an arched front window and decorative balcony. To the rear of the roomy dressing area there is extensive, under-eaves storage.
The back garden has been covered in sandstone slabs for easy maintenance. There is a Barna shed and the lot is bordered with a curve of bedding planted with bushes and a variety of creepers which, given they are only some 15 months old, are thriving very nicely indeed.
