A new home for a soccer fan

A period house in Phibsboro village has the potential to become a fine family home - and also backs onto Dalymount Park, the Bohemian's home ground

Number 333 North Circular Road is a period redbrick with a dentist’s surgery at ground level and a two-bedroom flat on the first floor. The terraced house, which has some period features, could be converted into a family home.

The terraced property dates from the mid-1870s, and is situated in the heart of Phibsboro village, a few doors down from St Peter’s church.

An office and dental surgery occupy the front room where there is a deep bay window with working shutters. Originally this room interconnected with what is now the surgery’s waiting room. The doors are in situ. The return is broken up into several small rooms, all used as surgeries and offices. One has a door leading to the small north-facing garden. There is also a small kitchen.

Upstairs one of the double bedrooms is on the hall return, adjacent to a shower room and separate WC. The eat-in kitchen is situated in what would have been the back bedroom and is the best room on this floor. To the front there is a smaller sitting room and a large single bedroom.

This house, 190sq m (2,045sq ft) in size and asking €675,000 through agents The Lansdowne Partnership, would make a fine family home, something that could be done in stages if funds don't allow for a full upfront renovation, leaving the ground floor as an income source and living in the flat upstairs.

To the rear is a large garage 70sq m in size that includes an office, bathroom, utility and off-street parking for several cars. Subject to planning permission, it could be refurbished into a small mews house.

Dalymount Park, Bohemian Football Club’s home grounds, is to the rear of the property where there are upwards of 25 home games per season. There are access issues to Dalymount Lane on match days.
