Dublin 2: €585,000: The owner of this two-up two-down at 7 Camden Villas, Dublin 2, claims that it is the closest detached house to St Stephen's Green, which is just a few minute's walk away.

It's certainly in a covenient location, off Lower Camden Street with its quirky selection of shops and cafés.

On the market through Sherry FitzGerald, the 61sq m (660sq ft) two-bedroom house has an asking price of €585,000 by private treaty.

Ideally suited to someone who wants a house rather than an apartment in the city centre, it's part of a small gated enclave with the added security of CCTV. In fact, it's a Victorian townhouse in miniature.

There's a small livingroom with open fireplace, and a comfortable kitchen with a wood-burning stove set into a wide bricked alcove.

A door from the kitchen leads to the tiny patio garden with its whitewashed walls and prolific creepers. Upstairs there are two bedrooms.
