The kitchen-cum-breakfast room here is a real feel-good space, enhanced by the abundance of southerly light from the four skylights in the panelled ceiling and streaming in through the French doors which open to the sunny-allday rear garden. Fitted units are in white-painted and natural wood, with a range of De Dietrich appliances and Franke sink. The large breakfast bar is where cooking and entertaining meet . . . this is the kind of kitchen where guests are invited to congregate come party time.

Among the other attractive rooms in the property is the large and very sunny attic, currently used as a home office, and with views across to the Dublin mountains through the Velux window. The long, galley-shaped bathroom is just the place for a candlelit soak, being full of atmosphere courtesy of the timber wall-panelling, original polished floorboards and enough space to house a big, old- fashioned chest of drawers.

Other original features throughout the house include cast-iron fireplaces and panelled doors.

Floor space extends to 98sq m (1,055sq ft) and accommodation at entrance level briefly comprises the hall; main reception room with original fireplace; dining room with exposed chimneybreast and open-plan design to the kitchen-cum-breakfast room.

Upstairs are the landing; bathroom; two bedrooms, both with fitted shelving (and one with cast- iron fireplace); and attic room with eaves storage.

Outside, the garden is sheltered with mature trees, and close to the house is a decked area with underneath storage.
