Charles Broadhead of Lisney is expecting bids in the region of £600,000 for Devon Lodge, a period terraced house overlooking the sea at Brighton Vale, in Monkstown, that goes to auction on November 25th. The striking navy blue-painted house has a wealth of period detail from Chinese-style canopies over the windows to decorative stained glass in the hall windows, original fireplaces and antique bathroom fittings. The two-storey house has two reception rooms and two bedrooms at hall level as well as a shower room.

Downstairs is a large kitchen opening into a breakfastroom on one side of the tiled hallway, and a bedroom and bathroom on the other side. The integral garage could be converted to further accommodation. Behind the house is a walled garden that backs on to the DART line.
