THE VIKINGS weren't all bad . . . especially when prospective home-owners consider the Norse-sounding, brick-built terraces in one of the most popular areas of Dublin 7. Stoneybatter is a soughtafter habitat for young professionals, particularly those from the media and arts world, but the attraction extends to anyone wanting a home location within a stroll of the city centre. No 24 Viking Road is a good example of the updated period town cottage that balances old world charm with contemporary style.
The front door opens directly to the living room . . . a welcoming entrance with open fireplace with cast iron surround, original sash window and mellow pine floorboards. A door opens from here to a lobby with open shelving and Belfast sink. On through is the original kitchen with freestanding wooden presses and enough space for a small dining table.
The original sash window and French door out to the patio ensures the room is bright and cheery. The bathroom, with free standing antique-style bath, is housed in the rear extension. Leading up via the winding staircase from the living room are two bedrooms, one of which has its original cast iron fireplace.
There are a number of restaurants, shops, pubs and the Smithfield Market nearby, and a Luas stop at Smithfield, while the city centre is just a 15 minute walk by Liffey . . . and not a Viking in sight.
