West Dublin three-bedroom cottage with a two-bedroom annexe at the back on the very outskirts of the city.
West of the capital, almost at the Dublin county line, between St Margaret’s and Tyrrelstown village, is an enlarged semi-detached cottage that offers flexible living options.
When the owners bought it in 2019, it was a two-bedroom, one-bathroom house.
Address: Lily Cottage, Hollywoodrath, Dublin 15, D15 A89H
Asking price: €645,000
Agent: Ray Cooke Auctioneers
Now it has five bedrooms set across two adjoining buildings.
The main house is a B3 Ber-rated semi-detached single-storey cottage that extends to about 100 square metres and is laid out as a three-bedroom and three-bathroom home.
The owners knocked out the ceilings in the open plan kitchen cum living room to create a more voluminous space that is smartly decorated and washed in dual aspect light.
Two of its three double bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms.
The walls of the principal bedroom are painted in a soft pastel green with panelling detailing, lending the feature wall some texture.
Families of small children will see the value of the brick-built annexe at the back of the main house.
The two-bedroom, one-bathroom space extends to about 50 square metres in size, and might pique interest with parents, offering a way to help out with childcare, without living on top of each other.
It might also suit someone with an elderly parent who might like to be proximate while retaining complete privacy and independence.
The front entrances are next door to each other, accessed from the same sandstone-paved front.
The main house has a sandstone terrace to the rear. There is a small outside area that belongs to the annexe.
It features artificial grass.
The property also includes a timber garden room that is wired and could be used as a home office.
The location will suit anyone working west of the city and in need of easy access to the M50 and/or/ the M3 Motorway.
Dublin International Airport is a 20-minute drive. Clonee, Dunboyne, Clonsilla and Blanchardstown village and shopping centre are all within easy reach.
Agent Ray Cooke is seeking €645,000 for the property, which extends to a total of 150 square metres of space across the two houses, comprising five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
