Dublin 6: €1.1m A three-bedroom Victorian redbrick, with a bay window, is for sale at 54 Beechwood Avenue, Dublin 6 through Douglas Newman Good. The auction takes place on March 10th and the guide price is €1.1m.

The house matches the others in the street, but at the rear the original return has been replaced and extended to create a large, stylish kitchen/breakfastroom, utility and guest toilet with, overhead, a family bathroom and bedroom.

Sash windows to the front of the house, timber floors, fireplaces, coving and other original features have been preserved. Neutral colours throughout make the most of the light from the glass used in the extension as well as the many windows throughout the house. The extension, designed by architect Deborah Sakac, has underfloor heating in all rooms and a great deal of light. The breakfastroom in particular, which has a glass ceiling as well as floor-to-ceiling glass panelled doors to the garden, could double as a sun room.

The flooring is of polished, wide-plank oak and the worktop is in polished granite.

A utility room, with ceramic tiled floor, has clever shelving. The cool, honey and cream tones and mood of this part of the house is carried into the 45ft long Zen-style garden where decking gives way, via steps, to paving, pebbles and various grasses. To the front of the house the entrance hall has a high ceiling and original, pine floorboards.

The living and dining rooms have high ceilings and the original, pine flooring. Dappled marble fireplaces in each room are also original, both impressively ornate and with tiled insets.Double glass panelled doors in the diningroom lead to the kitchen. A bedroom in the return is filled with light from a couple of Velux windows. The ceramic-tiled family bathroom, also on the return, has a bath with shower.

On the first floor the main, en suite bedroom has a cast-iron fireplace with ornate tile inset.

In the third bedroom there is a wall of built-in wardrobes with glazed front.

There is pedestrian access to the rear garden and a well-maintained, railed garden to the front.
