The word Avoca derives from the old Irish word ‘abhoca’, meaning ‘little treasure’, and No 21 Avoca Avenue, while not little at 411 square metres, is certainly a gem of a find for those on the hunt for a beautiful home in South Co Dublin. The detached, five-bedroom, two-storey, over-basement Victorian residence was built as one of a strip of four similar homes along this stretch of Avoca Avenue (including numbers 19, 23 and 25).

BER: exempt
Agent: INHOUS
Screened behind mature evergreen hedging set into a cut stone boundary wall, No 21 sits on 0.4 of an acre of well-presented grounds and comes to the open market for the first time in 60 years through INHOUS, which will convey the asking price on application.
Impressive in size and stature, the homes along the avenue seldom come to market. The most recent sales of two in similar market conditions on the same avenue included Glenheather, which INHOUS sold to an international buyer for €8.22 million in a private sale in June two years ago, and Grenagh, which sold in January of this year for €5.2 million. Redwood on Avoca Avenue achieved the same price in a slightly different market in 2019.
Built in the 1840s, records show that in 1849, Number 21 – was originally known as No 5 New Road and was bought by one Colonel Henry White, 1st Baron Annaly, an Irish British Army soldier and politician, who named the house St Helen’s (possibly after his wife Ellen). In the early 1850s, White sold the house to Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough, commander in chief of forces in India and who became Knight of St Patrick in 1857.
