The gallop is on for Leopardstown home

FACING onto an open green and with a sunny, west-facing garden, number 56 Leopardstown Park is ideal trading-up material for Dublin-based families.

This four-bed semi is new to the market with Daphne L Kaye and

Associates and carries a price guide of E550,000. However, this is just a guide and the asking could increase significantly with this private treaty sale. Number 57 could be described as being as mammy and daddyish in style: it comes with swirly brown carpets and wallpaper, but is in excellent condition overall.
