A wisteria-clad redbrick with fine period features has come on the market in Ranelagh, Dublin 6. Number 11 Lower Hollybank Avenue is a tastefully restored Edwardian two-bedroom home in a cul-de-sac off Sandford Road.
It is to be auctioned by Lisney on June 11th with a guide price of £300,000.
The gracious, well-proportioned rooms are tastefully decorated with strong colours and the house has polished wooden floor boards.
The entrance porch has a quarry-tiled floor and leads into the hall with a ceiling cornice and understairs storage.
The drawingroom has a bay window with a marble mantelpiece and double glass panel doors leading to the diningroom. This room has a cast-iron fireplace with tiled inset and brass hood and a picture window overlooking the back garden.
The kitchen/breakfastroom is bright and well-equipped with pine presses. It has double-glazed timber-framed doors leading outside.
A staircase leads to a half landing where there is an elaborate L-shaped bathroom. The main bedroom on the first floor is a bright double room with a bay window and an en suite shower room. The second bedroom is also a double. There is also a large attic with a pull-down ladder. To the front of the house is a small railed and nicely planted garden with a quarry-tiled pathway. To the rear is a charming south-west facing garden laid out in patio and lawn with a well stocked border and a raised flower bed.
The garden is well screened from the grounds of the National College of Ireland, which will be moving shortly to the IFSC. Any development would not interfere with the ambience enjoyed in this particular garden.
