Number 95 Beaumont Avenue in Churchtown, a 1940s bungalow, sold this time two years ago for €550,000. In need of renovation, its big attraction at the time was the development potential – to refurb the house and sell on, and also to build another property in the back garden. And in the short time since that sale, that’s exactly what’s happened.

The renovated original house on Beaumont Avenue is now sale agreed – believed to be for around its asking price of €825,000 and the house that was built in its garden – 95A Beaumont Avenue, a three bedroom A3-rated detached house with 168 sq m / 1,805 sq ft is now for sale through Savills for €750,000.

It’s very recently finished and shown partially furnished to give an idea of how it will be lived in. While from the outside it looks like a dormer with three windows jutting out in the slate roof – inside it feels like a regular two storey house with three double bedrooms upstairs, one with en suite as well as a family bathroom.

Downstairs the focus is on the rear of the house which comprises two large rooms. One a large living room with a wood burning stove and sliding glazed floor-to-ceiling doors opening out to the rear garden and windows to the front.

The kitchen – a spacious, family-friendly space, has plenty of room for a table area. It opens out to its own small patio, bordered by a timber fence. Also downstairs is another small room to the front that could be used as a home office or a playroom as well as a fitted out utility room, a large cloakroom and a toilet.

The exterior of this modern house feels a little bare, particularly at this time of year when suburban gardens are green and flourishing. The rear garden is small – a narrow strip of grass – and to the front there is parking for two cars on the fully gravelled-over area set behind electric gates.

The key appeal of this property is that it’s a modern, ready to walk into new house in a well-established suburb.
