While west Dublin has suffered from a lack of interest from buyers, Dublin 6, especially Harold's Cross remains a good buy because of its close proximity to town and strong rental market.

No 3 Le Vere Terrace would make an ideal crash pad for those looking for a city convenient pied-aterre.

Although a little on the compact side at just 46sq m (500sq ft), what this architecturally-designed cottage lacks in size it more than makes up for in character.

It has undergone extensive refurbishment and has been transformed into a chic low maintenance home boasting an open plan layout with red deal timber flooring throughout.

Accommodation includes a hallway with large walk-in storage area, living room with feature gas fire, fitted kitchen, shower room and bedroom in a mezzanine level.

The property also benefits from being recently re-wired and re-plumbed.
