ONE OF THE four-bedroom Crampton-built houses on Whitebeam Road in Clonskeagh has come on the market through Lisney asking €835,000. Number 14 is a well looked after home with its original layout of approximately 127sq m (1,375sq ft).
This includes two reception rooms and a kitchen which new owners will almost certainly extend, either to the back, where there is a sheltered garden, or into the garage.
On view Saturday 2pm-3.30pm
NEARBY IN Clonskeagh is 22 Leinster Lawn, a five-bedroom detached bungalow in a popular location close to the shops and to UCD. New to the market through Sherry FitzGerald, it’s asking €975,000. It’s a larger house than it looks with around 202sq m (2,175sq ft) of space, and good off-street parking behind electric gates. There’s a good-sized back garden that catches the sun all afternoon.
On view Saturday 1pm-2pm
LOCATED 1km from Ratoath in Co Meath is 200-year-old Grange Cottage. It is in a rural setting despite being close to major roads and 10-minutes from Blanchardstown shopping centre. The cottage has thick stone walls and was recently rethatched. There is also a studio in an outhouse.
It has three bedrooms, which all have wooden floors, as does the main livingroom (there is also a smaller sittingroom). The kitchen has a clay-tiled floor and Stanley range. Grange Cottage is for sale at €425,000 through Savills.
On view Saturday noon-1pm

IN CHAPELIZOD, Dublin 20, Savills is asking €650,000 for a detached house with a large garden at 80 Lucan Road. The 1950s double-fronted house has been owned by the same family for the last 25 years and though it’s in good order, new owners will probably take advantage of the 100ft x 100ft garden to extend.
Living space of 124sq m (1,330sq ft) includes two reception rooms and four bedrooms. There are some nice period features, including tiled fireplaces and wide picture windows, to take advantage of views towards the Phoenix Park.
