Renovated Dún Laoghaire three-bed built in 1848 with distinctive front garden
The houses on Charlemont Avenue, a terrace of seven brick-fronted properties off Crofton Road in the heart of Dún Laoghaire, were built in the 1840s, when Kingstown, as Dún Laoghaire then was, was developing rapidly. Smaller than Victorian houses such as those around the corner on Charlemont Terrace, they still have lots of grand period details.
There’s a colourful fanlight over the front door, which opens into a pale marble-tiled front hall: it has elaborate cornicing, a centre rose and an archway at the end.What will €425,000 buy in Dublin and Wexford? The two downstairs rooms at the back are just slightly smaller than the front reception rooms. A sittingroom/family room on the left has a tall sash window overlooking the back garden, a black cast-iron fireplace with a coal-effect gas fire, simple coving and some fitted wall units. The room on the opposite side of the hall, fitted out as a bedroom, has a large sash window and coal-effect gas fire and laminate timber floor.
Ten steps at the end of the front hall lead up to a small double bedroom on the return next to a smart tiled shower room. There’s a utility cupboard/hot press on the landing.Open tread timber stairs lead to the attic room, fitted out as the main bedroom. It spans the width of the house, has a polished timber floor, two Velux windows, a small study area and lots of clever built-in under eaves storage. Its en suite is tiled with large grey tiles and has a bath and a shower.
