Massive interest as viewers vie to see gorgeous Orchard Road home

With million pound, as opposed to euro, properties surrounding it, its no wonder there is a queue of viewers for a detached house in a small development off Orchard Road.

Number 13, The Grove, is new to the market with Brian Olden of Lisney's, and already he has been inundated with appointments, he says.

Bounding the old Brookfield estate, this house has a gorgeous, walled-in back garden in the trademark, yellow fire-brick. The Jennings Family who built Brookfield were terrified of dying by fire and so the entire building was constructed to be fire-proof, even the boundary walls.

Built within the last 10 years this estate is just off Victoria Cross and is handy to town, UCC and the Bon Secour Hospital, which must be part of the reason for the swift response to the sale boards.

The cachet of the address has to be another factor.

The house has a living room, kitchen and south-facing sunroom to make the most of the rear garden. Other rooms include a study/playroom and cloakroom.

The master bedroom is ensuite and there are three other bedrooms and a bathroom.

Brian Olden of Lisney is handling the sale and he's inviting offers of €440,000.
