Glasnevin/€390,000: Tucked away on the Old Finglas Road in Glasnevin, Dublin 11 - just around the corner from Glasnevin Cemetery - is a small row of 1900s cottages, formally gravediggers' homes.
Selling agent Sherry FitzGerald is guiding €390,000 for 9 Bellevue Cottages a 67sq m (725sq ft) cottage-style semi-detached house.
The current owners purchased the house six years ago and have gone to great lengths to accentuate the house's period charm and introduce some arty touches. Simple cream and white colours, sash windows to the front, painted original floorboards, recessed lighting, stained glass, 10ft ceilings and some imaginative design make for a comfortable and chic living space.
An original front door leads into a hallway with feature Victorian-style cast-iron radiator. To the right is an elegant livingroom with built-in bookcases, feature fireplace and recessed lighting. Off the hall are two double bedrooms, one overlooking the front garden and the second has views into the patio garden.
Both rooms have original cast-iron fireplaces, recessed lighting and painted original floorboards. A third single bedroom is used as a study and also has recessed lighting. A small lobby, with a tile and mirror mosaic of a gecko on the floor, leads to the bathroom with step-in electric shower unit with funky glass blocks.
The kitchen/breakfastroom is bright and has lots of storage space.
The focal point of this homely room is the breakfast area which has a pew-like curved seated bench with storage space underneath.
Country-style fitted units, a Stanley stove, a Belfast sink, blue tiles and wooden French doors leading out to the garden complete the funky-rustic feel to this room.
Outside, a decked garden and separate patio have been tended to create a mature green oasis.
To the front there is a well-maintained garden and driveway, which has room for two cars.
