Inside, a rustic-style kitchen and cosily informal drawing room with French doors opening to the sheltered patio, evoke the charm of a more rural location, but No 1b Garville Road enjoys all the convenience of that Dublin 6 location.

A real selling point is the garden in question . . . very private, south-facing and with high walls softened and framed by a delightful array of greenery and flowers. This is the proverbial outdoor room for al fresco dining, an inviting oasis when the sun shines.

Accommodation spans circa 145sq m (1,564sq ft), briefly comprising the entrance hall; guest cloakroom; drawing room with bay window; living room with French doors; kitchen/breakfast room with cream painted presses, pot belly stove and tiled floor; dining room; four bedrooms; shower room; and attic room with separate shower.

Attractive interior features include cast iron fireplaces, picture rails and varnished floorboards in the two reception rooms, and also in two of the bedrooms upstairs.

To the front is a garage (plumbed for laundry appliances); to the rear is that sun trap garden.
