Dublin 8: €1.1mA charming three-bedroom house on the banks of the Grand Canal at 3 Windsor Terrace, Portobello, Dublin 8, is for sale by private treaty for €1.1 million through Felicity Fox.

Despite its proximity to the city centre, the property has a private location on a cul-de-sac in a quiet residential enclave.

The 128sq m (1,375sq ft) home was upgraded and restored seven years ago by the current owners, who have created warm and inviting interiors and a layout that is suited to entertaining.

Renovations included rewiring and a restoration of the original floors and timber panelling.

Inside, interconnecting reception rooms have wood-panelled walls, polished timber flooring, an original cast-iron fireplace and fitted bookcases and shelving.

Double glass doors open onto the kitchen which has original quarry tile flooring and recessed lighting. There are fitted timber wall and floor units, timber work benches and two Belfast sinks.

The area opens up through French doors to a small rear garden with a paved patio and green lawns.

Also on this level is a guest toilet off the entrance hallway.

There are three bedrooms upstairs. The main bedroom has an original cast-iron fireplace, built-in double wardrobes with opaque glass insets and two sash windows which overlook the Grand Canal.

The quirky bathroom is a sure-fire conversation starter with several antique pieces, including a cast-iron bath, an ornate enamelled toilet with a wall-mounted cistern and a pretty original cast-iron fireplace.

Other features include gas-fired central heating and broadband connection.

There is off-street car-parking to the front and pedestrian access to the back garden.
