And while houses here are not large in size, at around 84sq m (900sq ft), the combination of decorative brickwork, stained glass doors and beautiful interior features makes these houses very sought after when they come up for sale.

Large back gardens also give good potential for further expansion subject to planning permission.

Location is also another strong selling point, with the city centre about 25 minutes' walk away, and the National Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin just 15 minutes' walk.

A popular location for young families, Shandon Road is within easy walking distance of schools in Phibsborough, Drumcondra and Glasnevin, while Phibsborough village and shopping centre are less than five minutes' walk away.

Presented in very good condition, 13 Shandon Road is ready to walk into. Accommodation comprises a hallway of over 22ft by 5ft, complete with decorative archway and ceiling coving.

Just off the hall is an attractive reception room of over 12ft by 14ft, which has ceiling coving, picture rail, and a period fireplace with tiled inset.

Beyond this is the diningroom, again with ceiling coving, picture rail and polished timber flooring.

To the back of the house, there is a small kitchen with fitted units.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and one single room. Both doubles have castiron fireplaces and picture rails. The bathroom is situated at return level.

Outside there is a small railed garden to the front and a mature garden of 71ft long, with a sunny patio area.

There is also a detached block-built shed of about 16ft by 11ft to the rear, which could be used as an office, studio or workshop.

The property has gas-fired central heating and new double-glazed windows, and onstreet parking is available for residents.
