Co Dublin €1.6m: A late 1920s property could strike the right chord with buyers looking for a home in Dalkey. Agent Lennox estates is quoting an AMV of €1.6 million for the three-bedroom house on over half an acre which is being sold at auction on August 1st in an executor sale.

In need of a total revamp but with its own special charm, Yonder was for years the home of late music teacher Gertrude Grant, well-known for her involvement in musical drama and féiseanna. Her piano still stands in Yonder's drawingroom.

The timbered two-storey house is on the sea side of Ulverton Road, close to Our Lady's Manor nursing home and Bulloch Harbour. At 146sq m (1,570sq ft), Yonder is surprisingly spacious and there is obvious potential to extend into the large back garden. Outer and inner hallways have timber floors, ceiling roses and understairs storage, with a guest toilet off. Dual aspect dining and drawingrooms extend into bay windows. A door opens from the diningroom to a long narrow kitchen and separate breakfastroom which will probably be the first areas to be upgraded.

Three double bedrooms and a bathroom are off the second floor landing.
