A detached 1,700 sq ft house at the end of one of the cul-de-sacs leading off Merton Drive, close to Ranelagh village, is for sale through Sherry FitzGerald, with an asking price of £470,000.
Although number 26 has three bedrooms, it has spacious ground floor accommodation, and one of the downstairs rooms could be used as a fourth bedroom. It is in good decorative order and a buyer could move in right away and upgrade the house over time.
A formal sittingroom to the front has a wood floor and tiled fireplace. Most of the living space is to the back and side, taking advantage of the southern orientation and the garden.
A large open-plan diningroom and kitchen/breakfastroom has timber flooring and oaktrimmed white units. The dining area is a bright sunroom, with wall-to-wall windows and doors to the garden. A chimney flue in the formal dining area, not currently in use, could be used for a wood-burning stove.
At the end of the hall on the right is a study and utility room. This leads to a large glass-roofed potting area which can also be accessed from the kitchen. There are two large double bedrooms and one single room on the first floor. The main bedroom has Sliderobes. The second bedroom has a washbasin and the boxroom has built-in cupboards.
The garden is a big attraction - large, walled and crammed with mature greenery. The integral garage could be converted for additional living space.
