Part of the charm is the change in levels in the interior - these properties appear single storey to the front, but once inside, accommodation leads off in three levels. At 86sq m (930sq ft), No 17 is a compact twobed home, but the location will be a huge draw for those looking for city-centre convenience mingled with typical Dublin redbrick character.

Accommodation opens up at the halllevel entrance which has double-height ceilings and plaster cornice. Leading off is the formal and equally high-ceilinged drawing room with ornate cast-iron fireplace, polished timber floors and working window shutters. Downstairs at garden level it's all relaxed informality in the kitchen/dining room which opens to the private rear garden. The kitchen is fully fitted with a range of units while the dining end of the room retains its cast-iron fireplace. Also at garden level is the utility room and the shower room. Upstairs, off the first floor landing with skylight, are the two bedrooms and the main bathroom. The rear garden with neat lawn is a sheltered spot, courtesy of evergreen climbers and shrubs.
