And while the property has seen massive upgrading, the original Victorian charm still shines through.

No 3 spans 125sq m (1345sq ft) and comprises a large bright hallway, guest WC, main reception room, dining room and large extended kitchen/breakfast room to the rear, while upstairs there are three bedrooms and a large bathroom.

The hall and reception rooms have ornate plasterwork, timber flooring and period fireplaces, while the owners decided to go contemporary for the bright kitchen extension which opens out to a small but attractive westfacing garden.

Just off Charlemont Road, this property benefits from being close to all the amenities of Clontarf and the sea, while the city centre is only about three miles away. Clontarf is also serviced by the Dart.
