Three-bedroom period terraced house in central Donnybrook location has a southeast-facing backyard and rear access, writes ALANNA GALLAGHER

NUMBER 14 Victoria Avenue in Donnybrook, Dublin 4, is a three-bedroom period terraced house situated just a stone’s throw from Herbert Park.

Measuring 138sq m (1,485sq ft), it has an asking price of €595,000 through agent Felicity Fox.

A formal sitting room situated to the front of the house leads off the L-shaped hall. The tiled fireplace is not original but was installed in the 1940s. The room has original pitch-pine floorboards, coving and centre rose.

The living and dining rooms have been knocked together to open up the space. This room, which runs the width of the house, has a coal-effect gas fire set into another 1940s tiled fireplace.

A door leads off it into the kitchen, which some may consider modernising or opening up to create one big open-plan space. There is room under the stairs to install a guest wc.

The backyard faces southeast. There is room to add a small extension, something other residents on the road have already done. The pedestrian rear access leads to a lane that takes you to Herbert Park in less than one minute.

Upstairs, there is a roomy landing with rooflight. Three bedrooms lead off it. The master bedroom has a step-down shower en suite with lots of storage. Both it and the other double have original cast-iron fireplaces. The third is a large single. There is a family bathroom.

A floor has been laid in the attic but the space hasn’t been fully converted. There is ample room on the landing to construct a proper staircase to it, and convert the loft into an attic room bedroom with its own en suite bathroom.
