A garden that runs down to the banks of the river Dodder is one of the most interesting features of 11 Butterfield Avenue, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, a detached three-bedroom house for sale by private treaty at £300,000-plus. The house, built in 1936, is in basically good condition, but needs considerable refurbishment, according to agent Sherry FitzGerald. The living-room has a bay window looking over the neat front garden. The dining-room is at the rear, with a door to the garden, and beside it is the kitchen. Upstairs, there is a bathroom and separate lavatory, two double bedrooms and a single room.
