Great chance to make your move in a million

A COOL million for Kilbrogan House — a price tag which just goes to show that the Rochestown address still carries clout. Mind you, this is upper Rochestown, Meadowlands, to be exact, and is close to Rochestown College in a largely rural area.

The link road, however, is a just a few minutes’ drive away and there are a number of similar detached houses in the surrounding area. Development is low density and ring-fenced by the County Development Plan.

Kilbrogan is a big, detached house on its own site and it has comes with all those extras you expect in a property aimed at the million mark.

The price is just a guide, says Tom Woodward, because it’s hard to put a firm value on houses at this level.

However, he doesn’t have any shortage of viewers.

Set back from the road with a generous driveway, Kilbrogan House is quite imposing and space is not a problem - there’s 3,000 sq ft. There’s a big hallway, living room, drawing room, dining room and kitchen with an integrated conservatory at the dining end. Most rooms are over 16’ by 12’ and the kitchen is a generous 25’ by 22’ with fittings Tom Woodward describes as gorgeous.

Light oak units, a stout central island with pot hanger and granite worktops are jut some of the features. Fittings are De Dietrich and the flooring, like the rest of the house, is in Junkers pine.

A utility and guest bathroom complete the ground floor rooms.

Upstairs, there are three en suite bedrooms with a main bathroom serving one bedroom and a study, which effectively gives the house five bedrooms. However, there’s more space in the attic for conversion.

The view from the back of the house is over fields and here there’s a big lawn and two garden sheds.
