Although set right in the heart of Terenure Village, No 23 Cormac Terrace has an abundance of flowers and leafy climbers, including roses, clematis and two species of fuchsia.

The house itself has an oldworld feel about it, and new owners may want to update the decor, but there is good material to work with, including high ceilings and an open fireplace in the living room.

Floor space is 48sq m (520sq ft), with accommodation opening off the entrance hall to the large livingroom with picture rail and tiled fireplace. Two double bedrooms, one to the front, the other overlooking the rear garden, each have built-in wardrobes.

A cute little extra room . . .the den . . . with maple floor, shelving and a window looking out on the garden is currently fitted with a comfy sofa for curling up on with a good book. The kitchen, from which two windows look out onto the rear garden, is fully fitted with new units and has a tiled floor. The bathroom is fully tiled and has a bath and shower.

Gas-fired central heating has been installed, as has a Phonewatch alarm. Parking is to the front, opposite the house, and there is pedestrian access to the private rear lane from the sunny garden.
