61 Willow Park Road, Glasnevin, Dublin 11

Détails

No. 61 Willow Park Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached home, built circa 1980 and extending to approximately 90sqm, in an established and mature residential setting.

The family home has had some practical upgrades over the years, including double glazed windows throughout, installed in 2021, a new Firebird Eco Silver 26kw oil burner and a full rewire completed in 2019. These improvements have helped contribute to a C3 BER rating, which is a strong rating for a home of this period.

While the property is now ready for its next chapter and would benefit from modernisation and some decorative updating, the layout works well, natural light is good throughout and the house also benefits from off-street parking to the front, side access and a mature west-facing rear garden. The external façade is finished in a combination of brick and render, with updated fascias and soffits adding to the general presentation. The house is entered through a front porch, which leads into the main hallway where the original parquet flooring continues through to the kitchen and dining area and remains in very good condition. The hallway also includes useful under stairs storage.

Positioned to the front is the living room with the original fireplace and a back boiler system which was not used by the current owners. This room has that traditional feel about it, a cosy reception room overlooking the front garden. To the rear is the open-plan kitchen and dining area extending across the width of the house, giving the ground floor a very practical layout. The kitchen includes fitted units, tiled splashback, a breakfast bar with shelving below and access directly out to a private rear garden, which is not overlooked due to the mature trees.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and the family bathroom which has been recently refurbished and is fully tiled in porcelain with a vanity sink unit and shower enclosure fitted with a Myra electric shower and LED downlighters. All three bedrooms have carpeted flooring, radiators and wall vents. The two main bedrooms are good sized doubles, while the third bedroom is that typical smaller front-facing bedroom, suitable also as a home office or nursery.

A pull-down Stira stairs provides access to the attic, a particularly useful convertable space, dry, insulated, partially floored and fitted with a light. The gable to gable width of the attic is approximately 5.5m and subject to the necessary planning permission and building regulations, it may offer future conversion potential.

The deceiving rear garden has a paved patio area, mature planting and a footpath running towards the rear and a large steel storage shed. There is also useful space beyond the shed which is currently overgrown with mature trees together with side access from the front of the house. The oil tank is also positioned in the garden and just to note that Gas is available on Willow Park Road.

No. 61 is a practical three bedroom family home with good bones, original flooring, a modernised bathroom, attic potential and a West facing rear garden extension potential, subject to planning permission, parking and both front and rear garden. For a buyer willing to update and improve, this is the type of house that can be turned into a lovely family home, rather than simply bought as someone else’s finished idea.
