The exterior of No 6 Knocknacree Park is modest by any standards, but the minute you enter the front door this attractive family home is revealed in all its spacious, light-filled glory.

As you walk through the house to the rear, another delight awaits - vast windows and glazed double doors provide views across Dublin Bay. This semidetached house is deceptively spacious - the single storey visible to the front but is actually laid out over two levels with a floor area of over 192sq m (2,065sq ft).

That feeling of space is immediately evident in the the large hallway, with its double-height ceiling and doors opening to bright reception rooms beyond.

Natural woods - walnut floor and solid oak staircase - reflect the natural light here, as does a Velux window overhead. The hardwood floor extends to the rear sitting room with granite fireplace and double doors onto the raised deck.

Another set of glazed doors open from the kitchen to the deck - a magnet for family and friends in summer with those coastal views.

The kitchen has porcelain tiled floors, fully fitted oak units and central island unit with granite worktops. The utility room, family room and bedroom complete the accommodation at entrance level.

Upstairs are three further bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, and a main bathroom.
