In fact, there's little available for under 1m at present, particularly on or around Ballymun Road.

New to the market is No 71 Ballymun Road, a large detached house built in 1931.

Set on a quarter-acre site, this elegant home overlooks Hampstead Park to the front, while to the rear there is a 144ft-long west-facing garden.

The house has been immaculately cared for over the years, and still retains all of its original features, including high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, fireplaces and original doors.

An elegant front door with stained-glass panels opens into a spacious hall of 15ft x 9ft. High ceilings, cornicing, understairs storage and a separate cloakroom all combine to make this an impressive entrance.

Just off the hall, the front reception room has a large bay window, 1930s fireplace and double doors into a large formal diningroom, where old-style french doors open out to the huge and well-kept back garden.

At the end of the hall there a good-sized kitchen/breakfastroom, where there is direct access to the garden.

To the left of the hall there is a large bedroom and en-suite bathroom, which future owners could easily convert back into another reception room.

Upstairs, off the spacious landing, there are two double bedrooms, two single rooms, and a bathroom and separate wc. There is also access to the attic from the firstfloor landing.

To the front of the house, the driveway has space for up to three cars. The back garden has a large block-built shed, outdoor toilet and storage unit, while just just off the diningroom there is a sunpatio.

A beautiful 1930s house, No 71 Ballymun Road should generate quite a bit of interest.
