Realistic price for spacious property in this upmarket city location
An over-size semi-d, it carries a realistic €550,000 price guide, quoted by Dermot Lynch of Irish and European Real Estate, and even at this level, well up the trading-up ladder in terms of cost, it needs a good bit of further work and spending.
Knockrea is one of the most popular of the up-market Douglas parks (at this sort of price level the word ‘estate’ tends to get swapped for the word ‘park’,) and it is a fine leafy cul de sac of about 16 houses - counting the homes here is hazardous, as there is no number 13, it was considered unlucky.
Number 6 is a three-storey semi, with four first floor bedrooms and three attic level rooms, so for a large family there is plenty of room to spread out in.
One of the top floor rooms with the west-facing box dormer window is a great size, 22’ by 11’, and if there’s going to be fights about who gets this room, it could be assigned playroom status - it is big enough for a table tennis table.
Some bits of work have been done to the house down the years, but any new owner buying in at this sort of purchase level is likely to want to strip a lot of the house back and take it forward again, and the sheer size of the place will see costs quickly mounting up.
For reference, a well-finished Knockrea house, either semi or detached, could now be expected to get upwards of €750,000, with location and rarity value the driving factors. One of the first floor bedrooms here has an en suite, the other bathroom is also at this mid-level, and there’s a guest wc at ground level off the terracotta tiled hallway.
Reception rooms include lounge, family room and dining room with PVC doors to a patio area and east facing back garden.
The gardens, both front and back, are very private, there’s a detached garage 27’ by 9’, and the house has gas fired central heating.
