Dublin 8: €885,000It's the extras that buyers in this market are looking for and this terraced redbrick, off Dublin's South Circular Road, comes with the impressive extra of a self-contained studio at the end of the garden.

The house at 10 Carlisle Street is for sale through Felicity Fox for €885,000.

The studio was a basic garage when the present owners bought it three years ago and, in order to make a home office, it was converted into a studio with a kitchen, storage area in the loft and a bathroom. It has pedestrian access from a lane that runs along the back of this terrace.

With about 24.55sqm (265sq ft) of space it could also be used as a home office, a granny flat or au pair accommodation.

The single-storey house itself is typical of many in the redbrick terraces off the South Circular Road but, as these had to be completely modernised by their owners over the years, they all tend to be different inside: usually in terms of overall size, where the bathroom is and how the kitchen works.

This one has 77.2sqm (832sq ft) and two bedrooms. The spacious livingroom is to the left off the hall and it has high ceilings, a period fireplace and double doors opening into the kitchen. A section of the hall was divided off to make a shower-room.

The eat-in kitchen was recently redone by the present owners who have updated it by installing smart looking units in a contemporary duck egg colour with a high gloss finish. They also installed new appliances.

The first bedroom, a double, is off this and has an internal window facing the glazed extension. The previous owners added this large, mostly glazed pitched roof structure which opens into the garden at the back of the house. Off this is the second bedroom which also has access out into the decent sized town garden via double doors.
