Spacious, four-bed 1970s bungalow in Rochestown
Tucked away behind Rochestown monastery, yet accessible to Douglas, this one-off is for sale through Michael O’Donoghue, of O’Donoghue Clarke Auctioneers. Priced at €450,000, it has a third of an acre of gardens and offers four-bed accommodation, with the potential for an extra 600 square feet in the undeveloped attic. There’s the opportunity to create a modern house here, with a conversion — the design is already half way there.
A re-skin with glass would lift the house into the 21st century, and add to the existing, 1,500 square feet available and the interior could be opened up.
This is a one-off in a good area and planning is tight, so any money spent would be recouped — in the long-term. The house is ideal for families trading-up from nearby estates, says O’Donoghue, and is spacious. Rooms include an extra-large living room with raised hearth, a smaller lounge with sheeted ceiling, and a galley kitchen with utility.
The four bedrooms share a bathroom, and an en-suite could be fitted in the master bedrooms, or, alternatively, a suite created on the first floor.
