Class wins out as charming Ashleigh proves it has what it takes for buyer

THERE’s posh and then there’s old decency: when it comes to the market, guess which wins out? Okay, the hint is Blackrock road/Ashton Park/Domestic Revival house.

‘Ashleigh’, a 1929 mansard dormer, is the latest hot property to hit the market on the exclusive, Blackrock Road, and it comes in at a reasonable €850,000 through Billy Casey of Casey and Kingston.

Although it’s considerably older than its €1.2 million plus neighbours, (they were built in the acre back garden of this house), it carries a provenance, and its internal features are immaculate: in fact, the house hasn’t changed a whit since it was built.
