Dublin 12:  €360,000: The interior designer owner of 47 Derry Drive has given a typical two-bedroom house in Crumlin a new lease of life - and it is now for sale through Douglas Newman Good for €360,000.

Built in the 1930s, it is situated mid-terrace around a circular grass area. The car-parking area to the front has been paved and the exterior smartened up. Inside, the room to the front is currently used as a home office. At the rear, the original livingroom has been extended with a dining area and kitchen. Walls have been re-plastered, a new fireplace created, spotlights added, a maple kitchen installed, and porcelain tiles laid.

The back garden is long and narrow with a deck. Upstairs, the bathroom has been updated and has a mosaic surround recessed sink. The two bedrooms have sanded floorboards and have been recently re-painted.
