No 261, measuring 84sq m (900sq ft), is a bright, airy home which is ready to walk into.

The living room to the front of the house has a lovely bay window, open fire with timber surround and polished boards underfoot.

Double doors lead from here to a dining room.

The kitchen completes the rooms downstairs with fitted wall and floor units, tiled floor and partially tiled walls. There is an integrated Alto oven, gas hob and space for a washing machine.

The big surprise comes when you enter the back garden from the kitchen. It is 146ft-long with a paved patio area in the centre.

With a garden this size, extending the existing house (subject to planning permission) would not really detract at all from the outside space.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms both with built-in wardrobes, and a single room. The family bathroom has a bath with a shower.

There is off-street parking to the front of the house and a small lawned garden.

Sundrive Road is a mature residential area close to the city centre with an abundance of local amenities including Eamon Ceannt Park. The villages of Harold's Cross, Rathgar and Terenure are all within easy access.
