19 ULVERTON ROAD: €1.977M& 16 ULVERTON ROAD: €1.7M: Two houses have come up for sale on Ulverton Road which is a short walk away from Dalkey village and the Dart
19 ULVERTON ROAD:THIS FOUR-BED colonial-style house has a self-contained apartment running along one side, and a converted attic. This all makes Wisteria Lodge, which is for sale at €1.977 million through Turley Associates, a flexible home in terms of who it can accommodate.
The detached two-storey refurbished house has a front porch with doors both into the main house and into the 'granny flat', which includes a bathroom, living area, bedroom and kitchen.
In the house, the hall leads past a livingroom to the back of the home where there is another livingroom, with open fireplace and wooden floor, that leads into the open-plan kitchen/dining area. Beyond this is a sunroom which sits out in the 80ft long west-facing garden. All of the rooms here have large expanses of glass to link with the outside space and benefit from natural light.
The garden, which has floodlighting, is set out on three levels with a decked area, patio and lawn. The bath in the en suite to the main upstairs bedroom overlooks this garden and beyond to the Dublin mountains. The bedroom itself has a balcony onto the garden. There are three other bedrooms at this level as well as a bathroom with a shower.
There is another bathroom in the attic space as well as a livingroom and office - or possibly fifth bedroom. To the front there is off-street parking for three cars.
The house is near to sea and cliff walks - and there is exterior access to the utility room on the ground floor should you want to store floating paraphernalia in there, such as surfboards.
The house is a few minutes walk from Dalkey village.
16 Ulverton Road, Dalkey, Co Dublin
Terraced Victorian villa with four bedrooms, large extended kitchen and split level patio garden
Agent: Savills HOK
16 ULVERTON ROAD:VILLAGE LIFE is just around the corner at 16 Ulverton Road, a terraced four-bedroom house for sale through Savills HOK at €1.7 million. One of a pair of Victorian villas close to the junction with the main street, it is set back from the road, with two valuable car-parking spaces in front.
Residents can leave the car behind though. The Dart is a five-minute walk, and a bus to the city centre also passes the door. Nearby, the Patton Flyer departs for the airport on the hour.
Grand on the outside, with its flight of granite steps to the front door, inside it would have been a modestly-sized home, before the fairly recent addition of a large kitchen cum diningroom on the ground floor and a main bedroom suite above.
This leaves a flexible arrangement of rooms on both floors. A high ceilinged entrance hall has the livingroom to the right - a long high room with tall shuttered windows front and back. Across the hall is a large bathroom with its own corner fireplace, while the first of the bedrooms is also upstairs, facing the road.
The main bedroom in the extension has three sash windows, looking out over the surrounding houses and gardens towards Killiney and Dalkey hills. Below it, the kitchen provides a big bright space perfect for families. There's a spacious kitchen behind a long island, and a diningroom overlooking a split-level patio garden with lane access. There are two further bedrooms at this level, as well as a cosy study and a utility room.
