A smart four-bedroom mews in a convenient Monkstown location has a terrific garden for outdoor entertaining.

Stonehaven, at the rear of 37 Montpelier Parade in Monkstown, Co Dublin, has an advised minimum value (AMV) of €1.25 million in advance of auction on May 18th through Lisney.

Located just off the Monkstown Road, it is within striking distance of Seapoint Dart Station and Blackrock village.

Built in the 1980s, the 163sq m (1,760sq ft) home was beautifully renovated in 2001.

Accommodation includes an attractive sittingroom with solid hardwood floor, two windows and a handsome cast-iron fireplace. An arch leads to the diningroom, which has French doors leading out to the back garden.

Fit-out at Stonehaven is high end. The bright modern kitchen features De Dietrich appliances. The bathrooms feature underfloor heating and Sottini and Philippe Starck fittings. Part of the house is wired for a surround sound system.

Three bedrooms and the family bathroom are on the first floor. On the top is the fourth bedroom, with distant views of the Wicklow hills.

A big selling point of the house is the beautiful landscaped and illuminated back garden. This tranquil space is bound by a granite wall and features shrubs, trees and bamboo, a water feature, surround sound, as well as a dining and barbecue deck.

To the front there is parking for two cars.
