Just off Richmond Hill, close to Rathmines and Ranelagh villages, the two-bed property has loads of character in its clever interior layout and decor, and loads of city proximity in that handy address.

The floor area is 80sq m (865sq ft), every inch of which is utilised to make a warm, inviting home, particularly to the rear where indoors and outdoors merge in an appealing manner, only being separated by a glazed wall and a set of double french glazed doors.

Accommodation opens up from the generously sized hallway which has oak flooring.

Leading off is the bright livingroom with open fireplace, glass-panelled rear wall and doors to the garden.

Steps lead down from here to the kitchen cum dining area, fully fitted with floor and wall presses and integrated appliances. The brick walls are exposed, giving the room a country kitchen feel, while the wonderful natural light flowing from the garden is enhanced via a Velux window overhead.

The floorboards of the raised dining area have been painted white, giving the room a fresh, inviting feel. Also at ground floor level is the first of two bedrooms . . . a double with polished wooden floor . . . and the bathroom with bath and shower.

A spiral staircase leads up from the kitchen to the main bedroom which has exposed ceiling beams and a built-in wardrobe. Adjacent is a wc.

Also on this level is a study, filled with light from the three windows and the white painted floorboards.

An undoubted feature of the property is the truly lushly planted, gravelled, west-facing garden with a number of trees and plants of varying height offering great privacy, shade and the perfect place to drag the table and chairs into to make the most of that evening sunshine.
