An Edwardian redbrick house in Blackrock, extended, reroofed and refurbished in 1998, has lots of original details – marble fireplaces, timber floors, deep coving – along with modern features such as recessed lighting.
Egremont, 12 Green Road, Blackrock, Co Dublin, a 220sq m (2,368sq ft) four-bed semi nearly opposite the entrance to Blackrock Bowling and Tennis Club, is for sale for €1.395 million through Sherry FitzGerald.
It’s a tall, rather narrow house on the corner of Green Road and Sydney Terrace. The front door opens into the L-shaped hall, floored with its original tiles.

The livingroom off it at the front of the house is painted a striking green-blue; a shallow bay window has white plantation shutters, a feature of most rooms in the house and there’s a large white marble fireplace and original timber floors. All the windows in the house have been replaced with double-glazed replica sash units.
The timber-floored diningroom behind the livingroom has a large brown marble fireplace, is painted a vivid yellow and has a decorative timber arch in one wall.
Two steps at the end of the hall lead down into the extended part of the house: new owners might want to explore opening this space into a more open-plan design. There’s a cloakroom and utility room on the left of the back hall and a toilet and small study at the right. The L-shaped kitchen/ breakfastroom, floored with quarry tiles, has marble worktops. A good-sized familyroom off it has double doors into the back garden.
There are four bedrooms upstairs, three doubles and a single. The main bedroom, the same size as the drawingroom below, has a dressingroom and an en suite shower room. The smart-tiled family bathroom with a large shower and bath and wall-mounted mirror is close to one double down a longish corridor in the extended back of the house.
The lawn in the landscaped backgarden curves around a sandstone patio; there’s room to park two cars in the gravelled front garden.
The property price register recorded a payment in respect of this house in April 2013 for €362,500, described by the agent as “a partial purchase of an interest in the house” and not the full house value.
Green Road is a quiet road around the corner from Sydney Terrace and Lazy Days cafe, Carysfort national school and the Smurfit Business School. It is within easy walking distance of Blackrock village and the Dart.
