For the price of a small two-bed apartment in Dublin 4, in Ballynneety, Co Limerick you get a detached 294sq m four-bed property complete with a detached annex of 850sq ft, boasting a garage, playroom and au pair's studio.

No 32 Bellewood is ideal for a growing family with generously-proportioned rooms, cleverly laid out so that all the main living areas interconnect with one another to create a more friendly, sociable space.

Entrance is through double teak doors which open into a large bright entrance hall floored in solid teak. Off here is a guest WC.

The living/dining room extends the full length of the property with a bay window overlooking the front garden and French doors that open out to a deck. The sunroom is just off this room and is accessed via double doors.

The kitchen has chunky handpainted cream units topped with black granite worktops. An island offers additional storage space and doubles as a breakfast bar. It's both practical and stylish and entirely fit for purpose. Also on this level is a large family room, utility and store room.

The four bedrooms are doubles, with two en-suite, all floored in timber. The master overlooks the front of the property and features a walk-in wardrobe fitted with built-in wall to ceiling storage.

Making the most of every inch of space, a section of the landing has been given over to a study area and the attic has been converted and is currently used as a fifth bedroom.

Outside there is a large lawn to the front and a landscaped garden to the rear with feature lighting and a large patio area.
