Bright and modern for €1.9m

A 1990s three-storey house on Sydney Parade Avenue in Dublin 4


Number six Ailesbury Way is one of six detached three-storey homes built by developer Paddy Kelly in 1991. The entrance to three of the houses, numbers three, four and five is on Ailesbury Road. The entrance to number six is on Sydney Parade Avenue a sleepy cul de sac adjacent to the Dart railway crossing.

The redbrick house is very much of its time and has been well maintained with bathrooms, kitchen and conservatory upgraded two years ago.

The house has lots of living space set over two of its three floors. An extravagantly large hall, complete with marble fireplace, cherry floors and pillar greets you as you enter the house. It feels more like a room than an entrance hall and as such is underutilised by the owners who are downsizing.

Upgraded and extended
Stained glass double doors take you through to the formal dining room which has a matching fireplace to the one in the hall. This room overlooks the southwest facing patio. The adjacent kitchen was recently refreshed. The owners installed vanilla gloss units and granite countertops. It leads through to a conservatory breakfast room which was upgraded and extended at the same time.

A double-height window illuminates the stairwell. The formal sitting room, situated on the first floor, features another of the same style of marble fireplace. The master bedroom which overlooks the front and has plenty of storage is on the same floor and has a good sized en-suite bathroom. There is a study or fifth bedroom also on this level as is the family bathroom.

On the second floor there are three bedrooms, two roomy doubles and a single. They share a shower room.

The house, which measures 269sq m (2900sq ft) is asking €1.9 million through agents DNG.

The southwest facing patio to the rear is larger than it looks and quite sheltered.

The drive is cobble locked, gated and can accommodate up to six cars. There is also a double garage where you could extend out, subject to planning permission.
