NUMBER 95 Botanic Road in Glasnevin, Dublin 9 is a four-bedroom family home that can’t be accused of being bland. It’s on the market for €635,000 through Douglas Newman Good.

The owners have given their all to every room in terms of colour, detail and elaborate funishings.

A new owner won’t necessarily be inheriting the accessories or the furnishings but what they are left with is a large 202sq m (2174sq ft) well-proportioned house with high-quality fittings and original features such as fireplaces, timber floors, internal doors and ornate plasterwork.

Like most of the rest of the house, the large entrance hall is firing on all cylinders with bright, peachy-orange walls and decorative ceiling cornicing with a centre rose and ceiling archway. It also has black and white chessboard- style floor tiling.

There are two main reception rooms with high ceilings including a diningroom with polished wooden floors and double doors that open out to the rear garden, The living room is a lovely, elegant, inviting space with a bay window and the original brown marble fireplace.

Steps lead down to a cream, country-style kitchen with a Belfast sink, a breakfast bar with undercounter lighting and an open brick hearth with a stove. Other rooms include a a pantry, a utility room and a shower room .

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms and a sizeable family bathroom with a roll-top bath, a shower and his-and-hers sinks.

Outside there’s a double garage and a 40ft rear garden, mostly laid in Indian Sandstone, with outdoor lighting .
