A CHARMING 1940s' midterraced redbrick by the renowned builders Crampton has come on the market at Whitebeam Road in Clonskeagh, Dublin 14. One of the most popular roads in Clonskeagh, houses here are always snapped up, and hence the strong asking price of 1.1m for this three-bed.
Beautifully presented, No 32 is a very comfortable family home which has an extended kitchen and huge back garden which slopes down to the River Dodder. In fact, the rear gate opens onto the river.
Accommodation includes a hall, sittingroom, diningroom, kitchen cum breakfast room, two double bedrooms, one single room and one bathroom.
Easily identified as a Crampton-built house, it retains all the lovely features that make these homes so sought-after, including the elegant panelled windows, stained-glass front door, and impressive interconnecting sliding doors between the sitting and diningroom.
The sittingroom is about 14ft x 14ft and has a large bay window, and original 1940s' tiled fireplace. Timber floors, built-in shelving and storage complete the sittingroom, which opens via sliding doors into another good-sized room, the diningroom, which again has timber flooring, original tiled fireplace and French doors out to the patio and garden.
The extended kitchen/breakfastroom of about 22ft x 10ft is bright and airy with large windows overlooking the garden. Recently fitted with white Oakline units and polished walnut worktops, the kitchen has a simple but contemporary feel. The kitchen/breakfastroom also has solid timber flooring as does the hall.
Upstairs, the two double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and shelving, and the bathroom is fully tiled.
The real highlight of this property has to be the 96ft garden, which includes a large patio and pebbled area which can be accessed from the kitchen and the diningroom, and a long lawn complete with mature plants and trees, which slopes right onto the river. A real oasis, this garden is never going to be overlooked.
