Dun Laoghaire two-bed near DART for £245,000

Located five minutes from the DART in Sandycove and from the People's Park in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, Clarinda Manor is an attractive development of townhouses built in 1989. Number 11, a two-bed terraced home, is for sale by private treaty through Sherry FitzGerald, which is quoting with an asking price of £245,000 (311,086).

The property, in walk-in condition, makes maximum use of light and space and the decorative scheme has a Mediterranean feel. To the left of the entrance hall is an airy sittingroom, painted yellow, with an open fireplace, recesses for shelving and understairs storage.

A glazed door leads to the sunny orange kitchen-diningroom, which has a good range of fitted wall and floor units along one side and is plumbed for a washing machine and dishwasher.

Beyond this, the conservatory runs almost the width of the house, adding light and providing extra dining space. Access to the back garden is through the conservatory, which was added by the present owners, who have lived in the house for the past seven years. The modern feel is enhanced by Italian marble floor tiles laid throughout the ground floor.

Upstairs are two bright double bedrooms, both with built-in storage space, and a partly-tiled bathroom lit by a Velux window.

To the rear is a private gravelled garden with a timber shed, and a small garden at the front borders the cobble-locked parking area which is shared by residents and visitors.
