On the Market: Four stylish Victorian homes from €260,000

Kimberley House, La Touche Road, Greystones, Co Wicklow €1.075m Sherry FitzGerald (01) 287 4005 When it comes to elegant yet enigmatic first impressions, Kimberley House takes the biscuit. From its double-fronted facade and gravelled driveway, it appears to be a detached property, but it is in fact attached to another residence at the rear, though each has its own private access. Measuring 1,959 sq ft, the Victorian house features original high ceilings, cornicing, pitch pine floors, panelled doors and fireplaces. There are two receptions off the entrance hall, leading on to a utility and an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area. Upstairs are five bedrooms and a bathroom. It’s located next to a beach in Greystones.

Diarmuid Gavin: Garden gems that will thrive in winter

As we approach the end of November, the brightly-coloured autumnal foliage now lies on the ground, gently insulating the earth beneath as winter draws in. And yet there is still interest to be found in the garden. Evergreens stand firm, the green backbone of the garden and some, such as skimmias and hollies, look their best adorned with shiny red berries. Hellebores are also starting to flower once more and these stalwarts can maintain a floral presence in the garden right through winter. Cyclamens (above right) are the go-to bedding plants in the run-up to Christmas and it’s hard to beat their winning combination of marbled foliage and scarlet, cerise and white flowers.
