Limetrees, Douglas €385,000

There’s lots and lots to like at Southwinds, or house No 3 on Limetrees Road, just east of Douglas village, off Rochestown Road.

The 1960s four-bed semi-detached home with 1,400 sq ft as it stands is just newly up for sale with estate agent Trish Stokes of Lisney, who guides at €385,000 and who can expect widespread interest.

No 3 had been last offered in 2010, at €460,000 via different agents but was subsequently taken off the market.

It doesn’t seem to have changed or aged in the interim, and is still a cherished and polished older home, with lots of scope for extension too.

As it stands, it already has a conservatory/sun-room addition behind and very wide gardens, with lovely maturity and clipped shrubs and trees, with a detached garage also, yearning to be built out to.

Its main reception rooms are already interlinked too, making for front-to-back double aspect, with access from the back room through French doors to the conservatory.

Handily, too, there’s a pantry/utility off the kitchen and there’s a wood-panelled guest WC off the hall.

Overhead are four bedrooms, three of them doubles, plus main bathroom.

VERDICT:Loads to recommend No 3.
