ON THE North Circular Road, in one of Limerick city’s most prestigious and expensive residential areas, 30 Revington Park offers spacious accommodation, period charm and long gardens.
Guiding at €475,000 it’s a 1930s-built detached property which has been refurbished and comprehensively extended at the rear.

Now extending to almost 1,800 sq ft, it has four bedrooms including one in a first-floor extension.
Enlarged by two sunroom-style extensions at the rear, it’s decorated in period style and has kept many original features including shuttered sash windows, dado rails, picture rails and fireplaces.
To the front there’s a gold and beige drawing room with a bay window and an elaborate cast iron fireplace.

Alongside this room is a 21ft-long extended kitchen which has cream units, a Kensington range, granite worktops and a separate pantry.
The kitchen opens out in to light, bright breakfast area with cream walls and furniture, French doors and a large arched window.
The architecturally designed extension also provided space for a utility room and a WC which are located off the kitchen.
A staircase in the tiled hallway at the front leads to the first floor which has three original bedrooms with high ceilings and picture rails as well as one above the kitchen which was added when the house was being extended.
Three of the bedrooms are doubles and one, at the front is a single; all are decorated in keeping with the style of the house and have carpet flooring and patterned wallpaper. There’s also a bathroom as well as a separate WC.
As with all the properties on this section of North Circular Road, No 30 is well set back from the road at the front and has a long graveled garden with a lilac tree which offers ample parking space for several cars.
To the rear there’s an extra long garden with a Liscannor slab patio and well maintained lawns framed by low hedging and bounded by fencing, mature hedges and trees.
Auctioneer Brenda Mulcahy says the house, which has been extended, upgraded and beautifully maintained by current owners who bought it in the mid 1980s, is the type of property which is very sought after by trade up buyers in Limerick city.
“North Circular Road is arguably Limerick‘s most exclusive residential address and is within easy reach of a variety of amenities.
