Pied-a-terre with design flare for €395,000

Just off Mespil Road, by the canal and about 10m from Leeson Street, the location of Sussex Terrace is hard to beat.

Number 5 is a three-bed asking €395,000 through Savills. A 10-minute walk from the city centre and three minutes from Baggot Street, it is centrally located without the pitfalls of heavy traffic and late-night footfall.

For what is a relatively small property, number 5 makes good use of its 103sq m (1,108sq ft). An entrance hall opens into a small front study to the left. Behind it, a small bathroom has been renovated with a Scandinavian-style wooden step leading up to a corner bath.

To the right is the front livingroom with sash window, original shuttering and a stove. It opens on to the rear kitchen, which is bright and airy, with Shaker-style maple units and built-in bench seating.

French doors from the kitchen open on to a shared rear gravel driveway, with space for one car.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, two with walk-in wardrobes. Though all three are potential double rooms, the bedroom to the front suffers as a result of the house’s design – an angled wall resulting in some wasted space.
