Houses on Millmount Avenue in Drumcondra, which turn 125 this year, were originally rather modest “two-up, two-downs”, all of which were let to tenants when they were first built.
It was last on the market in 2017 and sold for €475,000 in 2018, according to the Property Price Register. A planning permission search on’s web portal shows that permission was granted in 2019 to demolish a single-storey rear extension and garden shed and replace it with a partial two-storey rear extension, with the conversion of an attic, and a new dormer and skylights to the terraced redbrick house.
Beyond is the new kitchen/diningroom; here a streamlined kitchen with handleless units has wooden flooring, integrated appliances and a wall of glass to the rear that provides plenty of light from the south-facing rear garden. There’s also a separate utility and guest WC at this level.A fourth bedroom lies at attic level
Outside to the rear lies the garden, laid out for entertaining with paving and artificial grass. There is pedestrian access to a lane at the rear, which negates the need to drag garden equipment through the house if new owners decide to develop it further.
