In one of south Dublin's most exclusive areas, Village Gate is a small modern development within easy walking distance of Dalkey village.

The current owner has recently refurbished the property from head to toe, sparing no expense, with features including underfloor gas heating, fitted monitored alarm system, multi-room audio system, Alno kitchen, and a mix of marble and walnut flooring.

Deceptively spacious, the house has a floor area of 149sq m (1,600sq ft), and includes a hall, guest wc, sitting room, kitchen cum dining room, utility area, family room, three double bedrooms, one with en-suite, and a family bathroom.

The hall is bright and spacious at almost 21ft x 7ft, and is fitted with sandstone flooring, recessed lighting and a carved ash staircase.

The sitting room is another lovely bright room of 13ft x 19ft, which has a Sandstone fireplace, recessed lighting, and double doors out to the garden.

The open-plan kitchen/dining room is about 12ft x 18ft and is fitted with a range of contemporary-style units with polished granite worktops, integrated appliances, recessed lighting and double doors out to the garden. This room has a well-fitted-out utility area just off it.

Yet another good-sized room is the family room where there is a log-effect Gazco stove, Velux window, and double doors out to the garden.

Upstairs there is a large, airy landing with Velux windows and recessed lighting, and access to the three double bedrooms and main bathroom. The main room has a large en-suite, with sound surround, double power shower, heated towel rail and ceramic flooring. This room also has fitted wardrobes, recessed lighting and access to a small balcony. Both of the other double rooms have fitted wardrobes and recessed lighting.

Outside there is a beautifully landscaped south-facing garden with Indian sandstone patio, spotlights, raised deck and timber shed.

The area to the front of the house is laid in cobblelock.
