Blackrock: €2m An opportunity has come up to buy into elegant Prince Edward Terrace Lower, on Carysfort Avenue, Blackrock, Co Dublin. Number 3 has been divided into flats and is in need of a complete revamp.

On the plus side, with 418sq m (4,500sq ft) of space and 0.25 acres of garden, there is obvious potential to develop, subject to planning permission.

With this in mind, Wyse Estate Agents has decided to offer the house in two lots at auction on May 11th.

The Victorian house with part of the back garden is guiding €1.5 million, while a good-sized plot at the end is guiding €500,000 in a separate sale.

The entire property is expected to fetch around €2 million.

Much of the original grandeur has fortunately been retained at number 3, including marble fireplaces, ceiling plasterwork and a fanlight over the front door. Folding doors interconnecting the sitting and diningrooms are still in existence.

There is parking at the front and a long back garden bounded by stone walls. A derelict coach house has frontage to Brookfield Terrace.
