Castleknock: €475,000Number 4, The Cottages, is one of a number of houses that make up a quaint, single-storey terrace on the main street running through Castleknock village. It is for sale by private treaty through Sherry Fitzgerald, which is seeking offers of €475,000.
There are two bedrooms and the floor area extends to 78sq m (850sq ft). While by no means large, the house has a pleasant, cosy atmosphere often lacking in many newly-built houses of similar size.
This is a home suitable for a young couple, perhaps buying their first place together and who want a house with a little outdoor space, rather than an apartment.
There is a small grass area to the front of the brick façade - the house is about 80 years old - and inside a hall opens into the livingroom that stretches the depth of the house.
The ceiling in this room has been opened into the eaves of the building and this extra height makes the space seem larger. There are timber boards and a cast-iron chimneypiece here as well as built-in shelving.
To the back of the house is the kitchen with a terracotta floor, traditional white units, two skylights and a window to the backyard. This is a small area but large enough to hold a table and chairs - good for small parties.
A bedroom also faces the back of the house and to the front is the main bedroom with a skylight over the bed and dressing area. The bathroom is between the two bedrooms.
