LOCATION: Convenient location in the heart of Dublin 12
PROPERTY TYPE: End-of-terrace house
BEDROOMS: 3
FLOOR AREA: 109.5 sq m / 1,178 sq ft
BER: E1
Price: €440,000
Already larger than the average three-bedroomed house, this end-of-terrace 1950s family home comes to the market with full planning permission (FPP) for a modern, two-storey extension which would nearly double the existing floor area to 202 square metres
The property is well suited for expansion thanks to a spacious garage to the side and, at more than 200 square metres, by contemporary standards an exceptionally large rear garden.
While in need of modernisation, any such improvement will quickly realise the property’s tremendous potential thanks to its fundamental underlying strengths.
With a total floor area of almost 110 square metres, existing accommodation includes a kitchen and separate adjoining dining room, two reception rooms and an entrance hall with stairs leading to three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.
Next to the well-maintained front garden is a driveway providing ample off-street parking for two cars. The extensive back garden includes two block-built sheds, a greenhouse, two patios and secure gated access on to a laneway adjoining the rear of the plot.
Enjoying a highly convenient location in Dublin 12, just a 30-minute bus ride to Dublin city centre, the property is within easy reach of a wide range of schools, shops and services.
