Look inside: A Georgian gem beside Bram Stoker's birthplace for €1.15m
Address : 11 The Crescent, Clontarf, Dublin 3 Price : €1,150,000 AMV Agent : Sherry FitzGerald View this property on Marino Crescent is a fine slice of Dublin history in the heart of Clontarf. Built in 1792 by landowner Charles Ffolliott, this is the capital's only Georgian crescent. It was originally nicknamed Spite Crescent, because Ffolliot was said to have built it to block the sea views from nearby Marino House, the home of his rival, Lord Charlemont. Number 15 on the Crescent is believed to be the birthplace of Dracula author Bram Stoker , making the crescent an integral part of Dublin's literary heritage. Just four doors down from the Stoker house, number 11 is a three-storey-over-basement home extending to about 240sq m (2,303sq ft), with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an undiminished period charm. It has gas-fired central heating, is Ber exempt and is for sale, at €1.15 million, through Sherry FitzGerald . The Crescent itself has instant appeal; a commanding curved terrace joining the Malahide Road and the Howth Road, overlooking a leafy, tranquil park which has been a public amenity since the 1980s, when it was renamed Bram Stoker Park. It is close to the city centre and just a short walk from Clontarf village and all the shops, restaurants and cafes in the area. Just across the Clontarf Road is Fairview Park, and the crescent is also perfectly positioned for the start of the coastal walking and cycling path from Clontarf to Sutton. The front door of number 11 opens straight into a spacious, open-plan reception room with two large sash windows, ceiling coving and centre rose, solid wood floors and an ornate fireplace. This leads to a second reception room, which also has all the period features, including fireplace, and is laid out as a cosy lounge. An inner hallway opens into a bright, spacious bathroom with tiled flooring and also opens out to the back garden. READ MORE Livingroom Reception room View of the back garden Reception room 1 Kitchen Downstairs, on the basement level, is a large kitchen with tiled flooring, built-in units and a large island with built-in storage. The countertops are all dark granite. Adjoining the kitchen is a large livingroom with wooden flooring, an ornate fireplace and built-in cabinets. The four bedrooms are laid out on two floors, with bedroom one getting great views over Bram Stoker Park and beyond via two large sash windows. Lord Charlemont must have been seething with envy. This is a very spacious double room with ceiling coving, centre rose and built-in wardrobes. Adjoining it is a fine en suite, fully tiled. Bedroom three is a double bedroom overlooking the fine rear garden which stretches out more than 100ft. This bedroom also has ceiling coving, centre rose, solid wood flooring and built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms two and four on the second floor have lower ceilings but still very generous dimensions, mirroring the two bedrooms below. Also on this level is a tiled bathroom with a bath and a skylight. Bedroom 1 Back garden The rear garden is a gem, stretching to 107ft and mostly laid in lawn. It gets the benefit of southerly and westerly sun for most of the day. There's an outdoor storage area beside the patio and storage sheds at the end of the garden, along with handy pedestrian access to a rear lane. This is a Georgian house that is just the right size and has worked brilliantly for the owner and their family for the past 20 years. It will be ideal for anyone starting up a family who wants to be close to amenities for sports, walking and schools, but also within easy reach of the city centre. There is off-street parking for several vehicles and the crescent is home to a close-knit community. It's as though the curve of the Georgian buildings has created a subtle sense of connection with the other residents of this historic part of Dublin.

New detached four-bed home on Silchester Road in Glenageary for €1.895m
Address : 1 Silchester Gardens, Silchester Road, Glenageary, Co Dublin Price : €1,895,000 Agent : Sherry FitzGerald View this property on When the stately Victorian houses on Silchester Road in Glenageary , Co Dublin , were built in the 1860s, developers gave them long back gardens, gardens that have unsurprisingly come to attract the interest of property developers today. Tanglewood House at 34 Silchester Road, for example, was sold with its 272ft-long back garden for about €2.5 million. Its new owner then secured planning permission to develop three new detached homes on a third of an acre of the garden. They then sold that site with planning in place to the developer, Waterlight Homes. Tanglewood House, with its reduced garden, was subsequently sold for about €2.4 million. Waterlight Homes named its exclusive infill scheme Silchester Gardens and one of the houses remains for sale: Sherry FitzGerald is guiding €1.895 million for 1 Silchester Gardens, a 190sq m (2,045sq ft) detached four-bed. It's a new-build with a smart modern kitchen and bathrooms, staged for sale by interior designer Muriel Simpson and decorated in neutral shades. The house, with air-to-water heating and a mechanical heat-recovery ventilation system, has an A2 Ber. Windows are Nordan double-glazed and there's underfloor heating throughout. Architects Cantrell & Crowley and Adrian Hill of Wilson Hill designed the three houses, which have cream brick and render facades. READ MORE Entrance hallway Livingroom Kitchen and breakfast room Family room The front hall of number 1, like most of the downstairs rooms, has wooden floors. There's a convenient built-in coat stand with seating on the right of the entrance hall; a family room opens off the hall on the left. It's bright, with two large windows. There's also a downstairs toilet. The livingroom opens off the hall on the right, and runs from the front to the back of the house. It's fitted with a wide shelving unit, painted pale grey. Floor-to-ceiling wall-to-wall sliding glass doors open on to a patio, as do sliding doors from the kitchen, making the patio into a kind of courtyard. The kitchen/breakfastroom – from kitchen designer Michael Farrell – has smart charcoal grey units which conceal pretty much everything, including a decent-sized utility room, where a tall panel turns out to be the door into it. A quartz-topped island divides the kitchen from the breakfast room; it's beside the wide sliding doors that look on to the patio. Study/fourth bedroom Main bedroom Main bedroom walk-in wardrobe and en suite Rear garden A timber staircase leads up to a wide, bright landing with two roof lights windows over it. Four bedrooms open off it, two with en suites, and a family bathroom. A single bedroom is fitted out as study. The main bedroom looks towards the back of the original house; it has a walk-in wardrobe on the way into a smart en suite where a walk-in shower has a long mosaic-tiled bench. Another double bedroom has an en suite where wood-effect tiles line one shower. Sanitary ware in the house comes from bathroom designer Bath House. There's a strip of lawn at the back of the house, off the patio, and room to park two cars beside an EV charger.

Look inside: Modern home overlooking Tintern Abbey woodlands near the sea in Wexford for €895,000
Address : Tintern Height, Saltmills, Co Wexford Price : €895,000 Agent : Sherry FitzGerald Radford View this property on Wexford has a rich history of mills dating from the 17th century, reflecting the area's industrial and agricultural past. These included industrial mills, watermills and tidal mills at the head of a small inlet on the Wexford coastline. The town, today known as Saltmills, takes its name from tidal mills constructed by monks to harness the power of the tide to grind their grain into flour. These mills were built by monks from Tintern Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded circa 1200 by William Marshal. The Norman knight had been caught in a violent storm while crossing the Irish Sea, and legend has it that he fell to his knees and prayed, vowing to construct a religious house if he survived the tempest. Today the nave, tower, chapel and chancel of Tintern Abbey still stand and the area it occupies is now a Special Area of Conservation surrounded by superb woodlands and walking trails. Front hall Living/dining area Living area Dining area Kitchen Adjacent to this slice of history is Tintern Height, a 212sq m (2,282sq ft) detached bungalow built in 2020. It is on an acre of gardens, close to the village of Saltmills. The brief to an architect by its builder owners was to design a spacious home with lots of natural light. This has been achieved with 14ft-high ceilings and lots of glazing to make the most of its southerly aspect. READ MORE Inside a custom-built front door – designed by Brian Maher of Maher Woodcraft, who also designed the bespoke kitchen – is a fine entrance hall with a vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows. From here, a long corridor houses three bedrooms and a family room, while a spacious open-plan L-shaped area housing the living space and dining area, and the kitchen lies opposite. This triple-aspect space is accessed by glazed double doors, again flooding the rooms with natural light. This is further emphasised by high ceilings and a raised feature fireplace in the living area, which is flanked by large windows on each side, giving much symmetry to the room. Off the dining area, which has a custom-made ash dining table, lies the Maher Woodcraft kitchen with an abundance of storage in tall larder-style units. A movable island with hidden storage and a breakfast bar creates a natural divide between the dining space and kitchen – which has Smeg units, granite countertops and a Quooker tap. Extra storage can be found in a smart utility room – also designed and built by Maher Woodcraft – that sits adjacent to a comms and cloak room, ensuring that the house is streamlined with a minimalist feel. Family room Main bedroom Main bathroom Walk-in wardrobe Patio Currently laid out with three bedrooms, the principal is dual aspect with a large walk-in wardrobe and a fully tiled en suite with a double rainfall shower. To the rear of the kitchen is a garage, accessed externally by a roller door, which has an attic accessed by a Stira. Beyond that is an office and a treatment room/snug – which could work as a fourth bedroom – alongside a smart shower room. The house, in walk-in condition, is perfectly staged for sale, with not an inch out of place. Included in the sale is a hot tub on the southern side of the property, on a large patio overlooking the woodlands of Tintern Abbey. Owners are also offering the contents for sale by negotiation, as they include the custom-made ash table in the dining area and some bespoke furniture. The house, which has Pergo laminate flooring and remote-control activated blinds, is on an acre close to the Barrow estuary and a local rowing club. About 5km farther down the road is the popular seaside village of Fethard and the famous cove and strands of Baginbun Beach. Sherry FitzGerald Radford is handling the sale of the A2-rated four-bedroom property, which is on the market seeking €895,000.
