24 Dollymount Avenue, Clontarf, Dublin 3 Asking Price: €1.2m Karen Mulvaney Property (01) 833 6335 Clontarf has long been one of north Dublin’s swishiest addresses, but according to this newspaper’s annual How Much Is Your House Worth? survey, larger seafront homes in the swanky suburb now rank among the most expensive in the entire capital.

As Kirsty and Phil espouse on their eponymous Channel 4 TV show, it’s all about location, location, location. Clontarf is a 15-minute drive to the docklands, 20 minutes to the airport with schools, shops, sporting clubs and coastal amenities.

Not least of these is Dollymount Strand, with its 5km-long sandy beach, grassy dunes and views over Dublin Bay stretching from Howth to Dun Laoghaire. And if all that bracing sea air whips up an appetite, there’s a trawl of trendy restaurants nearby, including Bay, Pigeon House and the Yacht, all noted for their knockout seafood dishes.

Across from the promenade is Dollymount Avenue, a street lined with large semi-detached houses with adjoining garages and long back gardens. No24 was extended and refurbished in 2007, resulting in a 1,854 sq ft home spread over three storeys, including a converted attic. There are four bedrooms on the first floor (one with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite) and family bathroom.

At ground level there’s a sitting room, a guest WC and a substantial kitchen/dining/living space with a vaulted ceiling, two breakfast bars and sliding glass doors to the back garden. The house has a geothermal heating system and underfloor heating.

It’s a few minutes’ walk to the 240 acres of parklands at St Anne’s Park. Nearby schools include Belgrove Junior and Senior National Schools, Greenlanes National School, Holy Faith Secondary School, St Paul’s College and Mount Temple Comprehensive.

No24 Dollymount Avenue is on the market at €1.2m with Karen Mulvaney Property (01) 833 6335
