Dublin 2/€685,000: So tucked away from view there isn't even a nameplate, Hilton Mews is a quiet courtyard of three-bedroom terraced houses, minutes from the Concert Hall and St Stephen's green.

HOK Residential is quoting excess €685,000 for 2 Hilton Mews, a 110 sq m (1,184 sq ft) house with three bedrooms and a private west-facing garden.

The owner is record producer Denis Woods. Number 2 is the original showhouse, so the interior is exceptionally well fitted out and the back garden nicely-landscaped.

The post-modernist style mews was designed by Burke Kennedy Doyle, whose offices front the courtyard. Each house on the terrace is fronted by a deep pergola covered with greenery, beneath which is designated car-parking.

Inside, the house is deceptively large and the layout makes the most of the available space and light.

To the front is a neat kitchen/breakfastroom with alder units, marble worktops and a Welsh slate floor. A full range of Neff steel appliances is included. Off the working end is a pantry plumbed for laundry use and the oak-floored breakfast area is by the front window.

The hallway opens out to a large and very bright sittingroom with oak Junckers flooring and a gas fire with marble surround. With its white walls and adjoining conservatory, this space is blindingly bright. Terracotta tiles are laid on the conservatory floor and double doors open from here to the garden.

Upstairs, the landing is bright from a skylight. Overlooking the back garden is the main bedroom, a good-sized space with a bank of wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.

Bedrooms two and three each have fitted wardrobes. A separate shower room has a step-in shower cubicle.

Immediately outside the conservatory is a terrace with flags and pebbles, leading to a large decked area bordered by mature greenery. It is completely private and has a west-facing orientation.
